Partner Interview - ComplyAdvantage

Article Summary:
Our Solution Partners bring huge value to the Detected platform. We curate the world’s best across data, identity, screenings, and much more. Our Partner Spotlight series gives our partners a chance to share what makes their solution unique, highlight what they do best, and explain how we work together to create market-leading onboarding and monitoring capabilities.
1. What is your name, who do you work for, and what is your role within your organisation?
My name is Amy Sutton, and I look after Strategic Partnerships at ComplyAdvantage.
2. For those who may not be familiar, what does your company do, and what makes your product offering unique?
ComplyAdvantage provides a market-leading, AI-driven anti-money laundering (AML) platform that helps financial institutions (FIs) and regulated businesses detect, prevent, and manage financial crime risk with speed and accuracy.
Our suite of solutions spans real-time sanctions, politically exposed persons (PEPs), and adverse media screening, transaction monitoring, and continuous customer and company screening – all powered by ComplyAdvantage Mesh, our proprietary data and risk intelligence platform. Mesh combines global, real-time risk data with explainable AI to help compliance teams detect and respond to threats faster and with greater precision.
Our customers love our solution for our:
- Real-time, proprietary data, updated in minutes across 60+ global jurisdictions.
- Smarter automation powered by AI, helping reduce false alerts by up to 70 percent and speeding up how quickly teams can act on real risks.
- A scalable, API-first platform, enabling fast, seamless integration and deployment in under two weeks.
- Configurable, no-code tools that empower teams to adapt to evolving risks and regulatory requirements without engineering support.
3. What problems do you help your customers solve, and how do you solve them better than others?
We help our customers replace siloed systems and spreadsheet-based, manual processes with a unified, automated platform that’s built for speed, scale, and accuracy. As regulations evolve and teams face increasing pressure to do more with less, our AI-driven tools reduce false positives, adapt to changing risks, and give leaders the data and control they need to position compliance as an enabler for business growth.
4. What types of businesses or industries benefit most from your solution?
Our solutions are built for regulated businesses worldwide that need to manage financial crime risk at scale, particularly in fast-moving sectors like cross-border payments, banking, and lending.
5. How do you see your offering complementing the Detected platform? Why is our partnership a natural fit?
Detected simplifies how businesses collect and manage KYB information, making onboarding faster and easier for both customers and compliance teams. ComplyAdvantage brings the risk intelligence, screening that data against sanctions, PEPs, adverse media, and more, in real time. Together, we create a seamless, end-to-end process for our customers that replaces spreadsheets and siloed tools with automation and insight. It’s a strong partnership because we’re both focused on helping compliance teams move faster, stay ahead of regulatory change, and make smarter decisions with fewer resources.
6. Can you give a real-world example of how your solution has helped customers in practice- ideally with measurable outcomes?
A strong example is our work with Nissan Financial Services, which operates in 12 global markets and faced rising compliance costs due to fragmented, manual systems. By adopting our Customer Screening and Ongoing Monitoring solutions, the company unified its global compliance operations, reduced risk, and achieved significant cost savings, all while regulatory demands increased.
Implementation was seamless, and Nissan estimated building a comparable in-house solution would have taken 5–7 years. As John Skorup, Global Head of Compliance – Sales Finance, put it:
“Implementation has been seamless and straightforward, and the cost savings that we’ve made over the past three years have been significant. As regulations have increased, we’ve managed to actually decrease the cost of our financial crime compliance program.”
7. In your view, how is the market changing, and how are you staying ahead of those changes?
Global instability and regulatory fragmentation are making it harder for businesses to scale confidently. At the same time, AI is reshaping how FIs manage risk, but too many are still stuck with siloed systems and manual processes that can’t keep up.
By combining real-time, proprietary data with cutting-edge AI, including agentic models for tasks like auto-remediation, we help compliance teams stay ahead of threats and adapt quickly.
8. What should people not misunderstand about what your product or data can do?
Unlike many of our competitors, we provide an end-to-end solution that brings together market-leading proprietary data, configurable tools, and real-time monitoring – all in one place.
9. What has your experience been like working with Detected so far?
We have thoroughly enjoyed our partnership with Detected. Their team has been exceptionally supportive, particularly during enablement sessions and customer meetings, where their expertise and collaboration have made a significant difference. Working closely together, we’ve been able to effectively educate the market on the value of an integrated KYB/KYC solution. We truly appreciate the strong relationship we’ve built and look forward to continued success together.
10. What excites you most about the future of this partnership?
We’re thrilled to be deepening our partnership and expanding into new markets like North America, signing a wide range of high profile customers. Collaborating with the Detected team has been a fantastic experience, and together we’ve already seen great success. We look forward to building on this momentum and achieving even greater results together.
