deepidv (Arbiter + Luna): deepidv runs AML as an autonomous system. Arbiter screens and monitors your entire book through six specialized sub-agents, sanctions, PEP, adverse media, re-verification, transaction risk, and behavioral analytics, and anchors every disposition to a tamper-evident record. Luna, the compliance officer, turns alerts into reports ready for your regulator and explains every flag in plain language. The result is exactly the automated, real-time AML supervisors increasingly expect, with cryptographic proof your controls were in place. Best for teams that want agentic, provable AML in one suite.
ComplyAdvantage is known for AML data and screening. Feedzai serves large banks with transaction fraud and AML. Unit21 offers no-code rules and monitoring for fintech ops teams. Sardine focuses on real-time fraud and AML for fintech and crypto. NICE Actimize is an enterprise financial-crime suite. Nasdaq Verafin serves banks and credit unions.

It is the continuous review of customer transactions to detect money laundering patterns such as structuring, mule activity, and unusual flows, so a financial institution can investigate and report suspicious activity.
Transaction volume has outgrown what human teams can review by hand, and supervisors increasingly expect real-time, automated detection and reporting rather than after-the-fact sampling.
Screening checks customers against sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media lists. Transaction monitoring watches behavior over time. Effective AML needs both, and deepidv runs them together.
Through Arbiter, an autonomous engine with six sub-agents that screen and monitor continuously, and Luna, which drafts regulator-ready reports and explains each flag.
Yes. Luna drafts reports ready for filing and attaches the cryptographically verifiable record of the underlying checks.
