How Each Platform Stacks Up
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.

Ready to get started?
Start verifying identities in minutes. No sandbox, no waiting.
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.
Why are regulators pushing for automated AML?
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.
What is the difference between screening and transaction monitoring?
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.
How does deepidv automate AML?
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.
Can it generate suspicious activity reports?
Yes. Luna drafts reports ready for filing and attaches the cryptographically verifiable record of the underlying checks.
AI Title Search: How Automation Is Replacing Courthouse Visits
Traditional title searches take 5-10 days and miss identity fraud entirely. AI title search compresses the timeline to minutes — but still leaves a critical gap only identity verification can close.
