The partnership will see the integration of Arachnys’ Enterprise Risk Platform with FICO Siron KYC solutions to improve customer lifecycle management.

Arachnys’ cloud-native solutions offer around 23,000 curated data sources to ensure enhanced due diligence and simplify on-boarding.

The integration will allow FICO Siron KYC solution to leverage this data to manage the customer lifecycle and improve risk scoring. The combination will also enable FICO in assisting its clients with regulatory compliance.

Furthermore, the collaboration is expected to reduce costs, boost operational efficiency and lower false-positive rates.

Arachnys CEO David Buxton said: “The open architecture, risk knowledge management and comprehensive capabilities of the Arachnys platform provide effective solutions for a wide variety of customer risk evaluation use cases.
