Otta's take

Xav Kearney

CTO of Otta

Historically, KYC tools and technology haven’t been strong enough to fight fraud. While most automated solutions that depend on data sets can help with tick-box compliance and yes/no answers, they don’t provide much insight about the people you are doing business with. Xapien automates the online research process, providing detailed, fully-sources and auditable reports in as little as 10 minutes.

The company’s AI-powered platform creates enhanced due diligence reports using Natural Language Processing, which minimises false flagging with its uniquely accurate contextual understanding. For example, traditional tools could flag the words “criminal, tax evasion, and money laundering”, completely overlooking that the person being researched is actually a prosecutor of such cases.

The fast-growing company is established across the globe in over 100 languages and character sets. By democratising access to high-quality background research and due diligence, the company is well-positioned to see growth as a strong competitor in the field.
