Hawk AI’s officials stated that partnering with Ondato enables customers that are evaluating advanced KYC solutions a seamless path to integrate AML and behavioural analytics at the same time. For fast-growing banks and payment firms, access to a comprehensive compliance offering has many advantages including much faster integration and go-live. Recent moves from Ondato The news comes shortly after Ondato rolled out the Ondato OS platform, designed for businesses that need to augment their KYC and AML processes.

The new platform offers financial institutions understanding of their exposure, with risk-based management of new and existing customers. The platform also provides increased process automation for efficiency and lower operating costs, minimising the risk of interventions and fines from regulatory authorities. With Ondato OS, financial institutions can tailor information gathering according to the products or services selected by individual clients.

The level of scrutiny needed for an insurance customer is not the same as needed to open a new bank account, for example, the company says. The OS has the ability to recognise these differences and only ask customers for data that is necessary to onboard them for the service they want, rather than a full suite of forms in every case.
