The KYC Agent helps teams collect and organize the information required for identity verification and KYC/AML review. It reduces repetitive document handling while keeping the compliance decision with the responsible people in your organization.

Organized evidence

Bring identity and supporting documents into one consistent workflow.

Structured review

Extract the information reviewers need into a chosen Data Collection.

Traceable process

Keep source files, drafts, approvals, and run status connected.

​
Where the KYC Agent helps

Use the KYC Agent when your workflow needs to:
  • collect identity or company documents
  • standardize information from different document layouts
  • prepare records for KYC or AML review
  • keep evidence linked to the reviewed data
  • route completed results into a consistent compliance process
The KYC Agent supports your compliance workflow; it does not replace your legal obligations, internal policies, or the judgment of an authorized reviewer.

​
How the workflow works

1

Choose the review destination

Select the Data Collection that should receive approved KYC records.
2

Provide the documents

Start manually with uploaded or existing files. Optional email and connected-folder intake can collect documents automatically.
3

Prepare structured information

The agent reads the documents and proposes records for the fields your team uses.
4

Review the evidence

Compare the proposed information with the source files, correct the draft, and follow your organization’s verification and escalation policy.
5

Approve the result

Approved records are stored in the selected Data Collection with the related run history.
