Business Intelligence · Compliance · AML / KYC
ArgusCortex
Evidence-led intelligence for decisions you cannot afford to make blind. We vet counterparties, surface hidden risks and support AML/KYC obligations — pairing our in-house AI text-analysis platform with seasoned human analysts.
What we do
Intelligence and compliance for two mandates
ArgusCortex produces decision-grade intelligence where the cost of a mistake is high: when a company chooses who to work with, and when a financial institution is required to know who it serves.
Counterparty due diligence and business intelligence
A decision to partner, supply, invest or acquire is only as sound as the information behind it. We deliver thorough due diligence on competitors, suppliers, partners and acquisition targets.
- Mapping ownership structures and ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs)
- Sanctions and politically exposed person (PEP) screening
- Adverse media and litigation-history analysis
- Reputation and market-standing assessment
Financial monitoring for banks and payment companies
We support banks, payment institutions and other obliged entities in meeting their AML/CFT obligations — from customer onboarding (KYC/CDD) through to ongoing monitoring of the business relationship, in line with FATF standards.
- Screening customers and counterparties against sanctions and PEP lists
- Establishing ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs)
- Adverse media monitoring
- Periodic and ongoing re-screening
- Due diligence for FATCA requirements
How we work
An AI engine and human analysts
Technology finds facts at a scale no manual effort can match — people own the conclusion. It is the combination of these two layers that makes the result fit to act on.
The AI platform as the engine
At the core is our AI for Text platform: it processes large volumes of text in real time, extracting entities, relationships and sentiment and detecting events a person would miss in an unbroken stream of data.
Analysts who reach the conclusion
The machine surfaces signals; experienced analysts verify them, filter out false matches and distil the data into a concise, well-grounded conclusion you can rely on.
Source breadth and confidentiality
We work with open sources, registries, media and client-provided data. Every engagement is handled with full confidentiality and discretion.

AI for Text
The platform engine: natural language processing that extracts entities, relationships, sentiment and events from large volumes of text in real time. It is what powers our counterparty due diligence, adverse media monitoring and AML/KYC screening.
