December 10, 2025

PwC Middle East, a leading regional professional services provider, has entered a strategic partnership with KYC Portal CLM, the automation-driven client lifecycle management platform, to deliver enhanced compliance solutions across the Middle East.

The collaboration comes as regulated organisations face increasing pressure to modernise KYC, AML and due diligence processes.

KYC Portal CLM, trusted by financial institutions, law firms and regulated businesses in more than 25 jurisdictions, supports full AML and KYC automation from onboarding to continuous monitoring.

The joint offering combines PwC’s expertise in financial crime, regulatory transformation and process optimisation with KYCP’s automation engine. Through the partnership, clients can deploy scalable compliance systems, enhance real-time risk assessments, improve audit readiness and respond faster to evolving regulatory obligations.

Additional benefits promoted under the partnership include the ability to reduce manual processes, support long-term strategic compliance goals and build a more efficient operational environment. Both organisations stated that the collaboration reflects their shared vision of advancing compliance maturity across the region’s financial and corporate ecosystems.

KYC Portal CLM CEO Kristoff Zammit Ciantar said, “KYC Portal CLM is proud to join forces with PwC to deliver seamless, automated customer lifecycle management for clients in the Middle East region.

“Our platform adapts to each client’s needs, enabling rapid onboarding, real-time risk scoring, and continuous compliance. This collaboration allows organisations to focus on growth, not just regulation.”

PwC Middle East partner, deals and financial services leader Mahmoud Al Salah said, “Our collaboration with KYCP is rooted in a shared commitment to help institutions across the Middle East thrive.

“By combining human expertise with next-generation technology, we are enabling our clients to turn regulatory challenges into strategic advantages, enhance productivity, and build a reputation that stands strong in an increasingly complex world.”
