WHAT MAKES KOUNT SPECIAL
Added value achieves better results
Why use Kount for watchlist screening? Here’s what sets us apart from any other strategy.
Multiple integration options
Kount technology is flexible. Our strategy works with your existing processes, resources, and abilities. Whether you have a high- or low-tech setup, your business can benefit from our robust, secure solutions with a customized integration plan.
Complete data
Kount is fully integrated with all the top data providers — OFAC, international authorities, adverse media outlets, politically exposed persons databases, and more. While other service providers consult just a few resources, Kount incorporates insights from all available data sources.
Exceptional customer service
Regulatory compliance can be a confusing topic. And while other service providers will leave you to struggle through uncertainties on your own, Kount customer service is just a phone call away. Collaborate with our team of experts for the best results possible.
Continuous monitoring
Other strategies only screen your data twice a year, making you resubmit your information, sift through outputs, and remove duplicates. But at Kount, we maintain an active portfolio that is screened hourly and daily. Not only does our approach improve accuracy, but it also increases efficiency.
Complete strategy
Rather than use a different vendor for each of your trust and safety needs, let Kount provide end-to-end protection. We can support your regulatory compliance goals and your broader onboarding needs such as account opening due diligence, identity verification, and more.
Analyst review
If you work with any other service provider, your team will be responsible for analyzing outcomes. But with Kount, our highly-skilled and certified experts can review alerts on your behalf. Save time and money by removing the burden of labor-intensive, error-prone tasks.
