What is a KYC screening platform?

A KYC screening platform is a compliance solution that helps financial institutions and regulated firms verify client identities and screen them against global risk databases. It flags individuals and entities that appear on sanctions lists, PEP registries, or in adverse media sources, ensuring you meet anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations.

KYC Screening Platform Built for Real-World Compliance

Cascade is a purpose-built KYC screening platform that goes far beyond basic checks. Designed for financial institutions, law firms, fund administrators, and corporate service providers, it delivers a fully automated, end-to-end solution for client screening and risk management.

With daily, inbuilt screening against global sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEPs), and adverse media databases, Cascade helps you stay ahead of regulatory expectations without drowning in false positives or fragmented workflows.

At the core of Cascade is a smart risk engine that adapts screening protocols based on your business’s risk appetite, jurisdiction, and the profile of each client. Unlike tools that stop at onboarding, Cascade continuously monitors every relationship.

You’ll receive real-time alerts when new risks arise, documents expire, or high-risk thresholds are crossed, keeping your files clean and your team informed at all times.

Key capabilities of Cascade’s KYC screening platform include:

• Seamless integrations with KYC6 (Acuris Risk Intelligence), LSEG World-Check, and Dow Jones for global screening coverage
• Customizable rules for screening, alert management, and follow-up workflows
• Live dashboards showing screening status, document health, and client risk profiles
• Full audit trails and downloadable compliance logs for internal and external reporting
