Experian and CleverChain have entered into a strategic partnership to provide AI-powered global due diligence services to international businesses.
The pair have teamed up to support firms under growing pressure to meet increasingly complex financial crime regulations, especially as cross-border operations and layered company ownership structures make compliance more challenging. The alliance is designed to enhance Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) verification processes, helping organisations detect risks, strengthen defences and prevent financial crime.
Experian is recognised worldwide for its compliance, risk intelligence and data analytics solutions, serving organisations across financial services and beyond. CleverChain, meanwhile, uses artificial intelligence, advanced analytics and global business network mapping to uncover hidden relationships and deliver regulatory intelligence across multiple risk categories.
Through the collaboration, clients will gain access to contextual insights spanning ethical, operational, reputational and financial risk indicators. These capabilities aim to identify high-risk links, suspicious behaviour and concealed activities, while improving control frameworks and enhancing customer journeys through automation.
The partnership comes as organisations seek ways to accelerate risk checks, improve precision and lower the cost of compliance. The companies highlighted that highly automated due diligence workflows can help convert extensive reviews from days to minutes.
Paul Weathersby, Experian UK&I chief product officer for identity & fraud said, “This partnership sets a new standard for global due diligence, a vital component in KYB processes and the fight against financial crime. By leveraging automation, businesses can accelerate complex compliance workflows from days to minutes, strengthen risk controls and deliver greater customer value. The result is a streamlined experience that enables organisations to operate confidently in an increasingly interconnected world.”
CleverChain CEO and co-founder Daniele Azzaro said, “By combining our global data intelligence with Experian’s expertise in data, analytics and technology, we are delivering a game-changing solution that strengthens financial institutions’ ability to detect and prevent financial crime while simplifying compliance around the world. Together, we turn complex data into actionable insights, enabling faster, smarter and more effective risk management.”
