Cascade makes screening seamless; no dev time required

Tired of jumping between systems for client checks? Cascade helps you integrate KYC screening directly into your onboarding and monitoring workflows with real-time alerts, automated reviews, and a fully audit-ready trail.

Why integration matters

Sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media checks are no longer optional.
Regulators expect ongoing, real-time screening, not one-time lookups.

But without integration, firms face the following:

Disconnected systems and manual re-entry
Screening gaps and inconsistent tracking
Delays in reviewing high-risk hits
Weak audit trails and regulatory risk

Cascade solves this with built-in, automated screening tools or by connecting your existing provider in minutes.
