If you remove crimes of passion, every other crime on Earth is about money.
An FBI agent told me that years ago, and it changed everything. Today, a $3 trillion shadow economy washes and reintegrates illicit funds back into the global financial system.
We can't arrest every criminal. But when we stop money laundering, we directly starve the real-world crimes that depend on it. From corruption to human trafficking.
I founded AuditKey to move financial defense away from reactive paperwork and into real-time prevention. If you cut off the money, you stop the crime.
Luciano Juvinski, Founder of AuditKeyFrom research to production infrastructure
What we have built and validated.
Research at Duke University
The entity classification and behavioral database methodology underlying AuditKey's screening engine was developed through research at Duke University.
DTCC AI Hackathon
AuditKey's prototype won the DTCC AI Hackathon, the primary applied AI competition for US financial market infrastructure. It demonstrated compliance at institutional scale.
OpenAML at Linux Foundation FINOS
We contribute to the open anti-money-laundering standard hosted at a foundation whose members include major banks and financial institutions.
Why we build in the open.
Proprietary where it counts
The behavioral entity database and the screening engine are proprietary. The data format that ties them to every other compliance system in the industry does not need to be.
OpenAML at Linux Foundation FINOS
AuditKey contributes to OpenAML because the value of a compliance attestation, a risk score, or a SAR format scales with the number of institutions that can read and verify it.
Infrastructure over lock-in
A proprietary standard is a data moat. An open standard is infrastructure. We are building toward the latter because that is what the market needs, and because being the team that defines the standard is a more durable position than being the team that locks customers into a format.
If you are building compliance infrastructure for the stablecoin era, we should talk.
Whether you are a potential pilot customer, an institution exploring Privacy Pool Management, or someone who wants to contribute to OpenAML, the right next step is a conversation.
