Sample data. Every decision is logged with its reviewer and evidence.

Controls from first application to last transaction.

One system covers onboarding, screening, monitoring and disputes, so every decision has the full context behind it.

KYB onboarding

Verify companies, directors and beneficial owners with document checks and registry data, and keep cases in one place.

Sanctions and PEP screening

Screen clients, owners and counterparties at onboarding and continuously afterwards.

Transaction monitoring

Rules and behavioural models flag unusual activity across fiat and digital-asset flows.

Fraud prevention

Device, velocity, BIN and behavioural signals are evaluated before a payment reaches an acquirer.

Disputes

Chargeback alerts, evidence collection and representment, tracked against scheme thresholds.

Audit trail

Every decision, reviewer and piece of evidence is recorded and exportable.

How it works

A single, continuous control loop.

  1. Onboard

    Verify the business and the people behind it.

  2. Screen

    Check against sanctions and PEP lists, then keep checking.

  3. Monitor

    Score transactions and flag what does not fit.

  4. Act

    Investigate, decide, report and record.

Questions about Risk & Compliance.

Can we use the tooling for our own customers?
Yes. Clients can run onboarding, screening and monitoring for their own customers through Lyria, configured to their risk appetite.
Does this make Lyria our compliance officer?
No. The tooling supports your program, but your business remains responsible for its own obligations.
How are false positives handled?
Alerts go to case management, where they are reviewed, decided and documented. Tuning is reviewed regularly.
Can auditors access the records?
Yes. Cases, decisions and evidence can be exported for internal audit, partners and regulators.
