OpenNeko for KYC · AML · sanctions investigationsOpenNeko investigates KYC and AML cases. You make the final decision.
OpenNeko investigates ownership, sanctions matches, and transaction patterns, then recommends clearing the case, escalating it, or holding the account, with cited evidence. Investigations start from events or schedules. Your compliance officer makes the final decision.
Do you recognise this?
Your systems raise the alert. Your analysts still have to build the case.
Customer records and ownership documents disagree, so your analysts have to reconstruct who owns what before they can assess the risk.
A sanctions alert arrives without the transaction history, policy context, or previous decisions needed to investigate it.
Your analysts read documents, compare entity details, trace transactions, and write the case narrative before an officer can decide.
The decision, approval, and action end up in different places. Reconstructing the case for an audit becomes another investigation.
What OpenNeko does
OpenNeko does the investigation and prepares the recommendation.
Investigate automatically
A screening alert, changed customer record, or scheduled review starts the workflow. OpenNeko gathers the case evidence and delegates ownership research, sanctions checks, and transaction analysis using your connected systems and approved sources.
Work through the evidence
Trace beneficial ownership through documents and company relationships. Compare sanctions matches using names, aliases, and entity identifiers. Analyse transactions against the customer profile, connect related activity, and explain what supports or contradicts the risk assessment.
Deliver a reasoned recommendation
Apply your policies and compare prior case decisions. Recommend clearing the case, escalating it, or holding the account, with the rationale, source citations, and a drafted case narrative. Identify evidence gaps and uncertainty so your officer can make an informed final decision.
Carry out the final decision
Your compliance officer approves or changes the recommendation, or requests further investigation. OpenNeko carries out the authorised case closure, escalation, or account hold through your connected systems, verifies the result, and records the evidence and approval together.

1,248 cases investigated. 37 recommended escalations.
In this illustrative review, the nightly screening batch triggers an OpenNeko workflow. OpenNeko investigates the exceptions and prepares a recommendation for each case, including 37 recommended escalations. Your compliance officer receives the completed investigation, cited evidence, and proposed disposition before market open.
The screening batch starts the investigation automatically. OpenNeko retrieves the records, documents, and transaction history for each affected customer.
For Account 8842, OpenNeko traces the ownership chain and finds a holding company missing from the customer profile. It cites the more recent filing that explains the discrepancy.
OpenNeko compares the flagged alias with registration details and ownership links. It explains the evidence supporting the match, rules out a similarly named entity, and cites the current advisory.
OpenNeko links recent transfers to counterparties in the ownership chain and compares the pattern with the customer’s stated business activity. The brief explains the discrepancy and identifies the transactions behind it.
OpenNeko applies your anti-money-laundering policy to the combined ownership, sanctions, and transaction evidence. It explains why the case warrants escalation and a proposed account hold.
OpenNeko compares similar investigations and prior suspicious activity report rationale, explains where this case differs, and drafts the case narrative with source references.
Recommend 37 escalations and an account hold for Account 8842.
Deliver the recommended disposition for each case, a drafted narrative, source citations, and any remaining uncertainty. Include the exact account and rationale for each proposed hold.
Review the evidence and approve or change each recommendation. Authorise any proposed account hold explicitly. Ask OpenNeko to investigate further where the evidence is insufficient.
Execute authorised changes through your connected systems, check the result, and save the action record with the case evidence and approval.
Update the approved cases with their escalation status and apply only the account holds explicitly authorised under your policy. Keep a traceable record of the evidence, decision, approver, and action result.
Where to start
Start with the review queue that takes the most time.
Customer onboarding and periodic reviews
When a customer record changes or a review falls due, OpenNeko reads the documents, traces beneficial ownership, reconciles conflicting records, and drafts a risk assessment for the final decision.
Sanctions-alert investigation
OpenNeko researches flagged entities, compares aliases and identifiers, checks ownership links, and weighs evidence for and against a match. It recommends a disposition with sources for your officer to assess.
AML transaction investigations
OpenNeko reconstructs the transaction timeline, links related counterparties, and tests the activity against the customer profile and your policies. It drafts the case narrative and recommends whether to close or escalate the case.
Audit evidence preparation
Assemble the supporting records, investigation findings, approvals, and action results so your reviewer can follow how a decision was reached.
Whenever the nightly screening batch completes, investigate each case. Reconcile ownership evidence, assess sanctions matches, and analyse transaction patterns against our policies. Prepare a cited recommendation and case narrative for our compliance officer’s final decision.
