AML Compliance Buyer’s Guide for Finance 2026

Practical guide for financial service compliance managers evaluating KYC, screening, and transaction monitoring vendors

Picking an AML vendor takes longer than it should. Most of them sound the same in demos, but the differences often show up after you've signed.

We've put together a buyer's guide for financial services to help you ask better questions before making a decision.

What's in the guide:

  • 100+ questions to ask vendors across KYC, KYB, screening, transaction monitoring, and fraud prevention
  • What good answers look like
  • A checklist for building your compliance program
  • Pricing traps to watch for

The guide covers neobanks, payment apps, BNPL providers, remittance services, and lending platforms. Each has different risks, after all - your vendor should know the difference.
