Arva AI
ActiveHiringAI Agents to scale AML, KYB and KYC operations
About
Banks and fintechs have large teams of human analysts who conduct manual checks and reviews. We replace those human compliance analysts with AI agents that automate 80% of the manual work for faster and more compliant financial crime (AML) reviews. Our first three products are: Screening AI (discount 91% of screening alerts), KYB/C AI (speed up onboarding), Transaction Monitoring AI (handle AML transaction monitoring alerts) Our end goal is to have a whole suite of AI workers that can handle manual compliance work for banks and fintechs. A $24B opportunity in the US alone.
