WHY SCREENING & MONITORING MATTERS

Benefits you can’t afford to miss

Do you really need to worry about watchlist screening? Here is what happens if you make risk monitoring a priority — and what happens if you don’t.

WITHOUT screening

  • Not compliant
  • Scrutiny and doubt
  • Unexpected penalties and fines
  • Costly risks
  • Shortened business longevity

WITH screening

  • Compliant
  • Trust and confidence
  • Positive cash flow
  • Protected revenue
  • Sustainable business growth

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. 

machine learning adaptability

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.  

Data automation

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.  

Protect sensitive information

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.

doc and star

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 fraud prevention automation

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.  

machine learning perceptibility

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. 

UNIQUE FEATURES
