Kingsway Building Society scales AML for growth
How Kingsway Building Society worked with us on scales AML for growth.
We went from an overnight batch to instant screening without losing a single true match. It changed how fast we can onboard.Daniel Tanaka, VP Engineering, Kingsway Building Society
The challenge
Sanctions screening ran on overnight batches, so onboarding decisions lagged a full day and the screening lists were perpetually out of date against fast-moving designations.
Our approach
Screening moved to a real-time API against a unified, continuously refreshed watchlist, with explainable match scoring so analysts could clear or escalate hits in seconds rather than minutes.
The result
Median screening time dropped from overnight to under a second, onboarding decisions became same-session, and no true match was missed during the parallel-run period.
