Find real financial crime, not false positives.
BriteBase screens every customer and payment against global sanctions, PEP and adverse-media data — resolving entities to cut false-positive noise and explain every hit. Identity verification, liveness and deepfake detection come built in.
High recall. Far fewer false positives. An explainable rationale on every hit.
Match every party against global sanctions, PEP and adverse-media data, then let entity resolution score identity coherence — so your analysts see real risk instead of noise.

Deepfakes are beating KYC at onboarding. Here’s the layered defense.
How presentation and injection attacks slip past identity checks at high-velocity fintechs and VASPs — and the passive-liveness plus deepfake-detection stack that stops them without adding user friction.
Synthetic identity fraud: how fabricated customers slip past KYC.
Blended identities pass each individual check but map to no real person. Where neobanks, lenders and marketplaces are exposed — and the onboarding-time signals that surface them.
PEP screening without the noise: tiered exposure and explainable hits.
Tiered PEP classification plus entity resolution turn an alert flood into a short, defensible queue — each hit shipping a plain-language rationale your examiner will accept.

Questions compliance teams ask.
It is the process of checking every customer and payment against global sanctions lists, politically exposed person (PEP) databases, and negative news (adverse media). BriteBase screens against OFAC, UN, EU, HMT, DFAT, GAC and 1,000+ watchlists across 20+ countries in real time, refreshed continuously.
Entity resolution scores identity coherence and collapses near-duplicate matches before an analyst ever sees them. In a typical run, 18 raw matches resolve to a single true hit — clearing 17 false positives without dropping any real risk.
Entity resolution recognises when many list matches refer to the same person — across spelling variants, homonyms and stale records — and merges them into one scored identity. It is what turns an alert flood into a short, defensible review queue.
Yes. Document OCR and face match, passive liveness, deepfake and injection-attack detection, and KYB and beneficial-ownership checks are built into the same platform and feed the same risk decision as screening — no second vendor.
