AI-powered KYC software
Give your reviewers cases to decide, not documents to sort.
AgentKYZ reads case documents, maps ownership, screens sanctions, PEPs and adverse media, and prepares a reasoned assessment. Your team checks the findings against your AML policy and records its decision in one place.
One platform. Choose who runs the reviews.
Need a mix? Keep routine reviews in-house and bring our specialists in for escalations or additional capacity.
Keep client KYC records in one place.
Keep each client’s documents, risk assessments and review decisions together, with a clear audit trail for regulator or auditor inspections. No more piecing together a KYC file from emails, folders and separate systems.
Scale KYC capacity up or down without hiring.
Hiring adds a fixed cost, even when case volumes fall. AgentKYZ uses tiered case-volume pricing: add capacity when you have a backlog and move to a lower-volume tier when work slows down. Start with the volume you need.
Your reviewers stay accountable.
Agents prepare the work. Humans review findings, record overrides and escalate complex cases. Your firm retains responsibility for KYC decisions.
How the work gets done
Agents work the case. A qualified human reviews it.
The platform does the document-intensive work under your AML policy. Your reviewers, or our managed KYC specialists, check the findings. High-risk and complex cases go to senior compliance. Your firm keeps the final decision.

Use cases
KYC onboarding, periodic reviews and remediation.
Use the software with your own compliance team, or have our managed KYC team do the work. Here are the situations we help with.
01 · Client onboarding
Get new clients through KYC faster.
Use AgentKYZ software to review new client documents, check beneficial ownership and run screening. Your team reviews the findings and approves the client, with less time spent collecting the evidence for a decision.
02 · Periodic reviews
Clear your overdue periodic review backlog.
Overdue KYC reviews can leave you unaware of changes in client ownership, PEP status or risk. Use AgentKYZ to bring the files up to date against your AML policy. Your team can use the software, or our managed KYC team can clear the backlog for you.
03 · KYC remediation
Fix KYC gaps found by your regulator or auditor.
An inspection found gaps in your KYC files and you need to fix them. AgentKYZ helps review the affected files, identify missing information and record what has been resolved. Use the software if your team has capacity, or have our managed KYC team handle the remediation.
04 · Mergers and acquisitions
Check acquired KYC files against your AML policy.
When you buy another financial institution, you inherit client KYC files prepared under a different AML policy. AgentKYZ reviews those files against your policy and identifies the gaps your team needs to address.
05 · Shadow KYC
Check the KYC work your administrator does for you.
CIMA's AML Rule reinforces your responsibility to oversee outsourced AML work. Shadow KYC checks your administrator's KYC files against your fund's AML policy, identifies gaps and gives your board a record of what was checked and what needs follow-up.

How shadow KYC works06Cayman AML independent review against the CIMA framework.
We agree the scope and independence requirements separately. Shadow KYC file testing supports oversight, but does not replace an independent audit of the full AML programme.
Scope a reviewCIMA AML Rule · In force since 18 September 2026
Your fund's board has to show it oversees the KYC your administrator runs.
Shadow KYC tests your administrator's investor files against your fund's AML policy and gives the board its own evidence.
Managed KYC
Need the work done for you?
Our compliance specialists use the same AgentKYZ platform to run your onboarding, periodic reviews and remediation. We check the findings, document unresolved gaps and return reviewed files under your AML policy. Your firm retains final approval.

FAQ
Questions we get on the first call.
KYC software, managed delivery, and how the two work together.
Send us a questionDo you offer KYC software or a managed KYC service?
Both. Your compliance team can use the AgentKYZ platform directly, or our specialists can work your files as a managed KYC service. Both use the same AI agents and review workflow under your AML policy. You can also combine in-house reviews with our support. Your firm retains final approval and responsibility for compliance.
Which jurisdictions do you support?
All of them. Most of our volume is in Cayman, Hong Kong, Singapore, Jersey, Luxembourg, BVI and the United States, and we configure your policy per jurisdiction before the first case.
Do you do fund KYC: investor onboarding and periodic reviews for funds?
Yes. Investor and counterparty onboarding, periodic reviews and trigger-event refreshes for funds, fund administrators and asset managers are the core of the service.
Can you run a Cayman AML independent review under the CIMA framework?
We scope AML programme reviews under the CIMA framework, with independence from the activities being reviewed assessed before engagement. The AML Rule took effect on 18 September 2026 and reinforces existing oversight expectations. Shadow KYC supports ongoing oversight of administrator files; it does not by itself replace an independent audit of the full AML programme.
Who reviews the AI findings and makes the KYC decision?
Agents read documents, trace ownership, run screening and prepare assessments with their reasoning. Your reviewers, or our managed KYC specialists, check the findings and record their conclusions. Your firm retains final approval. The case file preserves the evidence and audit trail for inspection; using AgentKYZ does not guarantee regulatory acceptance.
How fast can you clear a backlog, and how do you price?
Timing depends on case complexity, document completeness and the review scope. Pricing is tiered by case volume, with software and managed review support scoped to your needs. We confirm your volume tier, rate and terms before you start. For managed KYC, we also agree the delivery date in writing.
Can we start small and scale pricing down when KYC volumes fall?
Yes. Choose a case-volume tier for your workload, from a small ongoing caseload to a larger client book or remediation project. Scale up as volumes grow and move to a lower-volume tier when they fall. Tier changes and their billing terms are agreed with you. You can also add managed review support without a permanent hire. Your ongoing compliance and record-retention obligations still apply.
Can AgentKYZ assess KYC files after a merger or acquisition?
Yes. We configure the acquiring institution’s AML policy as the review standard, assess the acquired KYC files against it and identify evidence gaps for remediation. Your reviewers decide how to address the findings. A gap assessment does not by itself complete client migration or approve the acquired book.
Where is our data held, and who can see it?
Client documents are held in an encrypted, access-controlled environment and never used to train a model. Hosting region, retention and access details are confirmed in the engagement letter.
