Alloy has recently unveiled a novel perpetual Know Your Business and Customer Risk Assessment (CRA) orchestration solution aimed at the UK and European markets.

This initiative is targeted at financial institutions, including banks, fintech firms, and payment providers, which are experiencing heightened regulatory expectations to continuously monitor their business customers rather than relying on sporadic reviews.

The new solution tackles the complexities of cross-border growth in Europe. Corporate structures, beneficial ownership, and risk profiles can frequently change, making it challenging for many organizations to keep up with these dynamic shifts. Alloy asserts that numerous firms still depend on resource-intensive monitoring programs where analysts manually review registry updates, sanctions alerts, and other pertinent risk signals across various jurisdictions.

Continuous Monitoring and Risk Assessment

Alloy’s perpetual Know Your Business (pKYB) framework centers on event-driven monitoring. It automatically triggers checks whenever relevant changes occur, such as updates to company registries or adverse media findings. This platform reassesses customer risk in response to these events and escalates cases that need further scrutiny.

In instances where a business moves from low-risk to higher-risk categories, the platform routes them into enhanced due diligence processes. Conversely, lower-risk updates can be handled through automated workflows.

Alloy representatives shared that feedback from both UK and European clients highlighted that one-time KYB checks are no longer adequate for regulatory compliance. The company has adapted its existing pKYC infrastructure to support ongoing business monitoring and risk reassessment across different markets.

The launch of this solution coincides with increased scrutiny by regulators across Europe, particularly on neobanks and traditional lenders. Frequent enforcement actions point out deficiencies in anti-money laundering controls. Alloy positions its orchestration layer as a means to enforce consistent policies across jurisdictions while still accommodating local regulatory requirements.

Initial users from the UK who are testing the pKYB and CRA tools report that this platform helps them achieve baseline compliance more swiftly than developing comparable systems in-house. By leveraging third-party orchestration rather than building custom solutions, these firms seek to reduce development costs and manual work while still maintaining oversight of business risk between formal reviews.
