Purpose-built.
From day one.
Trade-based money laundering needed its own technology. Not a module bolted onto existing AML systems. A dedicated platform, built from scratch for the complexity of global trade. That conviction became AKS iQ.
Mission & Vision
Banks spend billions on compliance. Too much of it goes to manual processes that catch too little, too late. We build AI-powered platforms that change that equation: purpose-built technology that detects what manual processes miss, deployed in weeks, not years.
Our solutions are trusted by 19+ banks across 12+ countries, processing trade transactions and flagging risks that traditional systems overlook.
We see a future where compliance teams don't just react to risk. They anticipate it. Where AI strengthens human judgment instead of replacing it. Where regulatory technology accelerates business instead of slowing it down.
From trade-based money laundering detection to supply chain financing, we are building the intelligent infrastructure that the next generation of banking needs.
The code we live by.
We build compliance technology. We hold ourselves to the same standards we help our clients meet. In this industry, there is no grey area.
When no one was building dedicated TBML technology, we did. That conviction drives every product decision: if the market won't solve it, we will.
We don't ship software and walk away. We embed with compliance teams, learn their workflows, and build solutions that survive real-world pressure.
Born from one of the world's most demanding compliance environments. Now deployed across 12+ countries on 5 continents, protecting the integrity of international trade.
