ComplyAdvantage provides AI-driven anti-money laundering (AML) and financial crime risk detection - screening people and companies against sanctions and watchlists, politically exposed persons (PEPs and RCAs), and adverse media, with ongoing monitoring that alerts you when a customer's risk profile changes. The REST API (api.complyadvantage.com, with US and APAC regional bases) exposes searches, monitored searches, case management, comments, tags, and users with api-key auth, plus webhooks for match and monitoring updates. The newer Mesh platform API adds customer lifecycle screening, cases and alerts, transaction monitoring, and fraud detection workflows. Used by banks, fintechs, payments, and crypto firms for KYC/AML compliance, sanctions screening, and fraud prevention.
