SentiLink has launched a customer identification platform that combines fraud intelligence with compliance requirements, using automation built on human research and expertise to deliver signals designed to help compliance teams meet regulatory requirements and detect fraud.
The solution verifies identities using data from SentiLink’s network and sources including credit bureaus, telecommunications, utilities and public records. Features include granular matching of identity components, a fuzzy scoring system that differentiates between legitimate variations and potential fraud indicators, automated CIP decisions, sanctions list screening and a dashboard for BSA/AML officers and compliance analysts to inspect individual cases. SentiLink, headquartered in San Francisco, was founded in 2017 and has raised $85M from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Craft Ventures and NYCA Partners.
“Our deep understanding of fraud and identity is what allowed us to build a differentiated CIP solution,” Naftali Harris, co-founder and CEO of SentiLink, said in a news release. “We understand the nuances of nicknames, typos, address matching — how real people use and misuse PII. That insight lets us deliver a product that helps financial institutions stay compliant while approving as many legitimate applicants as possible.”
