AXIS KYC screens individuals and companies against global sanctions, PEP, and watchlists — with transparent risk scoring, enhanced due diligence, and beneficial-ownership mapping built in.
Illustrative example
Capture & extract
Passport or Emirates ID — MRZ field extraction
What it does
One platform for the full KYC/AML lifecycle
Identity verification & OCR
Passport and Emirates ID capture with automatic field extraction from the document's own machine-readable zone — reviewed and confirmed by your team before anything is saved to a customer record.
Multi-source screening
Sanctions, PEP, the UAE Local Terrorist List, and adverse media — screened together, with every source's status shown honestly. A source that's off or unavailable is never blended into a false all-clear.
Transparent risk scoring
A weighted risk methodology across sanctions, geography, document validity, age, and adverse media — every Low, Medium, or High rating traceable back to the exact factors that produced it.
Enhanced due diligence
Structured EDD workflows for higher-risk cases — source of funds, source of wealth, purpose of relationship, and supporting documents, requested and reviewed in one place.
Entity & beneficial ownership KYC
Onboard companies, not just individuals. Verify trade licenses, map beneficial owners, and screen each owner individually — without running a second, separate process.
Reporting & audit trail
One-click regulator-ready certificates and exportable audit records, plus a permanent, append-only log of every screening, decision, and review. A pending or failed screening is always shown as exactly that — never as a rating.

Screening & risk scoring
Multi-source screening, transparently scored
Screen every customer against 6 integrated sanctions sources (FBI, NONSDN, OFAC, UAE, UN, INTERPOL), PEP lists, the UAE Local Terrorist List, and adverse media. Every result is honest: a source that's off never blends into a false all-clear. Your risk rating shows exactly which factors drove it and why.
4 integrated screening sources
Sanctions (6 lists: FBI, NONSDN, OFAC, UAE, UN, INTERPOL), PEP, UAE Local Terrorist List, and adverse media — each source's status shown honestly, never blended into a false all-clear.
Transparent 6-factor risk score
Low / Medium / High / Prohibited — every rating fully traceable back to the exact factors that produced it.
UAE Local Terrorist List — official + your own entries
The official list is versioned and previewed before every activation, never edited in place. Add your own additional watchlist entries on top of it — every change recorded to the audit trail.
Identity & workflow
Identity capture and a complete compliance workflow
Upload a passport or Emirates ID — fields extract automatically via MRZ OCR. Then screen, review, decide, and record. Every decision is permanent and traceable. Download a branded certificate your compliance team can stand behind.
MRZ OCR extraction
Name, document number, date of birth, expiry, and nationality auto-filled straight from the document's machine-readable zone.
Cross-document consistency check
Passport and Emirates ID compared automatically on name, date of birth, nationality, and sex — a clear mismatch blocks onboarding until it's resolved.
Append-only audit trail
Every screening, decision, and review recorded permanently — downloadable as a branded, regulator-ready PDF certificate.

Why compliance teams trust us
Built so it can't quietly lie to you
Your data, walled off — even from us
Your customers' KYC data is isolated at the database level. Our own platform administrators have no access to it — not a permissions setting that could be misconfigured, but a wall enforced at the database itself, independently tested to prove it holds.
Never a false all-clear
If a screening source is turned off or unavailable, every affected customer is flagged for mandatory review instead. The system will never show a clean result for a check it didn't actually run.
Bring your KYC and AML screening into one system of record.
