About ARGOS is an AI-powered identity verification and workflow automation platform that helps businesses securely verify individuals and organizations worldwide. Our mission is to create a safer digital ecosystem by enabling companies to identify anyone, anywhere, at any time. ARGOS ID Check provides fast, seamless remote identity verification for fintech, gaming, virtual assets, e-commerce, telecommunications, and other regulated or high-risk industries. Supporting identity documents from more than 200 countries, it combines document verification, facial recognition, selfie verification, liveness detection, AML screening, age verification, and fraud prevention in one platform. Its modular design allows businesses to customize each verification workflow based on their risk, compliance, and customer experience requirements. ARGOS helps detect forged documents, deepfakes, duplicate accounts, bots, VPNs, and other suspicious activity while reducing friction during onboarding. ARGOS Omni extends these capabilities to KYB and general workflow automation. It helps businesses streamline document collection and data extraction, business registry searches, ownership and UBO identification, AML screening, and case review. Customizable workflows, decision rules, and detailed audit trails reduce manual work and create a more consistent, scalable compliance process. Together, ARGOS ID Check and Omni help organizations onboard customers and businesses faster, reduce operational costs, prevent fraud, and manage compliance more effectively.		About SmartSearch is here to make AML, KYC and Identity Verification compliance easy. The most comprehensive features from an AML Provider. By simply entering the individual’s name, address and date of birth, SmartSearch will complete a full AML/KYC check - including automatic worldwide Sanction and PEP screening - giving you a clear pass or refer result in a matter of seconds. International verification is challenging due to regulatory, cultural and technological differences between countries. But thanks to our unique ability to integrate multiple data sources, we can verify international individuals and businesses. After initial AML/KYC checks have been completed, we continue to monitor all clients daily, alerting you if their Sanctions or PEP status changes. We can also complete retrospective checks on clients to ensure your firm remains compliant at all times.
