Iris 7
The core decisioning platform, Iris 7 applies policy-bound AI Agents to financial crime compliance workflows across sanctions screening, AML monitoring, customer due diligence and fraud detection. It replaces legacy screening and monitoring systems with a unified governed framework, producing decisions with complete evidence documentation and audit traceability. The platform operates across high alert volumes while maintaining consistency and regulatory accountability.
Customer Screening Suite
A pre-built Iris 7 configuration that covers the full customer screening workflow: sanctions, PEP and adverse media checks using contextual reasoning rather than static matching. Accounts for naming nuances and jurisdictional risk to reduce false positives at customer onboarding and periodic review.
Payment Screening Suite
A pre-built Iris 7 configuration for real-time payment and transaction screening against sanctions lists. Uses structured AI reasoning to evaluate each transaction, reducing alert volumes while maintaining governance controls and producing audit-ready decision records.
