Napier AI and Delta Capita have formed a partnership that combines client onboarding and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes with anti-money laundering (AML) screening and transaction monitoring.
The companies will connect Delta Capita’s Karbon client lifecycle management platform with Napier AI Continuum. Napier’s contribution covers client screening, transaction monitoring and transaction screening. Delta Capita will provide KYC technology, advisory expertise and managed services.
The combined proposition is intended to support financial institutions from initial onboarding through ongoing monitoring and investigation. It targets a common operational problem: KYC and AML functions often rely on separate systems, teams and processes, creating manual handovers and duplicated work.
According to the announcement, connecting these functions could reduce onboarding delays and investigation volumes. The companies also expect the partnership to help institutions lower false positives, establish more consistent processes and maintain clearer audit trails. The release does not provide performance data or implementation examples supporting these expected benefits.
Greg Watson, chief executive officer of Napier AI, said: “Financial institutions are under pressure to manage increasingly complex fincrime risks while simultaneously deliver faster, more accurate and seamless experiences for customers. Our partnership with Delta Capita brings together complementary technology and expertise to give institutions a more connected approach across the compliance lifecycle. By reducing manual handovers, this enables institutions to focus their resources on genuine risk, meaning they can achieve stronger customer, operational and regulatory outcomes.”
The partnership also gives institutions the option to combine technology with advisory and outsourced operational support, rather than procuring each component separately. The companies said this would allow firms to adapt the service to their operating requirements.
Sean Vickers, CLM Chief Commercial Officer and Global Head of CLM advisory at Delta Capita, said “Institutions crucially must understand who their customers are and maintain this understanding as relationships and risks evolve. Through our partnership with Napier AI, combining Continuum with our Karbon platform, we’re able to create a compelling offering for institutions to transform both their systems and operating models, simplifying complex processes, improving processes and building compliance operations that are more efficient, accountable and scalable.”
