Our mission

Every screening decision should be fast enough for a payment in flight, accurate enough to trust, and clear enough to explain to an auditor years later.

Fast.

Under 250 ms at p99 for a payment in flight, and 3M+ records against 5M+ list entities in 4 hours overnight.

  • p99 < 250 ms
  • 3M+ / 4 h

Accurate.

Names are normalised and transliterated across scripts, scored in stages, then checked against your own rules to cut false positives.

  • Multi-script
  • Damerau-Levenshtein
  • Rules

Explainable.

TreeSHAP reasons and a 7-part version vector on every decision, so any past decision can be reproduced exactly.

  • TreeSHAP
  • 7-part vector
  • 100% reproducible
Who we are

The team behind WICS.

Compliance specialists and engineers, working on one product for the institutions that move money.

Built for

  • Banks
  • Payment providers
  • Fintechs

Compliance expertise

Built by people who have run sanctions and AML screening inside financial institutions and know what examiners ask for.

Engineering depth

A platform engineered for measurable service levels, reproducible decisions and deployment on the infrastructure you choose.

Long-term partnership

We work alongside compliance and technology teams from integration through tuning, audits and regulatory change.

Principles

Six rules we build by.

They shape every screen and every release — including what WICS will never do on its own.

01

WICS warns. It never moves money.

When a deadline passes, WICS warns and marks the case overdue. It never releases or cancels a payment by itself — a person decides.

02

Four eyes on every sensitive change

Case decisions, workflows, rules and mappings go to a second person before they take effect.

03

Explainable and reproducible

Each decision keeps its reasons and the exact versions behind it, so it can be replayed and explained later.

04

Your data stays where you decide

Run WICS on your own Kubernetes, in our cloud, or across both. On-premises is a full option, not an exception.

05

Built for many banks, many countries

Workflows, statuses, calendars, units and permissions are set by each bank — nothing is written for one country.

06

Three languages from day one

The whole application in English, French and Arabic, with Arabic fully right-to-left.
