About us

We build generative AI assistants that help banks and fintechs automate and upgrade their KYC/AML operations. Our AI agents plug directly into existing workflows and handle work that normally slows teams down — from sanctions/PEP/adverse-media alert reviews to deep online due-diligence checks during onboarding and investigations. The result: faster decisions, fewer false positives, and compliance teams that can focus on the cases that actually matter.

    Diligent just raised $2.5M to empower KYC and anti-money-laundering teams with AI agents. AML teams are under more pressure than ever. Fraud is scaling. Sanctions are expanding. Volumes keep growing. Yet most compliance work is still manual and repetitive. Founders Edoardo Maschio and Ahmed Gaber set out to build autonomous AI analysts that reason and investigate through alerts, customer onboardings, and risk reviews. Their AI agents review SMB risk profiles, resolve sanctions and PEP alerts, and analyze adverse media, turning hours of manual work into structured, consistent investigations. Already deployed at S&P 500 companies, global fintechs, and banks, Diligent is helping compliance teams cut manual queues, improve decision quality, and move from data processing to real judgment. Congrats to the team on the round! https://lnkd.in/gNFwCKXa

    I'm thrilled to share that Scalapay has partnered with Diligent 🎉 Scalapay supports thousands of merchants and 11M+ consumers across Europe and uses Diligent AI to automate and enhance merchant KYC/AML operations. In the first year together, we delivered: → 65% of manual risk reviews eliminated → 6,000 hours saved from manual case work → Double-digit % drop in merchant fraud rates → Live in under 1 month Yet another demonstration that purpose-built AI shines even in regulated environments: automating repetitive investigations, elevating analysts to controllers instead of data processors, and leaving them in control of decisions and complex cases. The result is more consistent controls, faster onboarding, and better protection for Scalapay customers. Big thanks to the team (Gabriele Alessi, Matteo Licari, Luca Scelsa, Federica Luciani, Albert Ziko) for the trust and collaboration 🧡 Full case study in the first comment 👇

    Why maintain something forever when it's not even part of your product? Diligent automates due diligence for fintechs. But their engineering team was burning hours on social media scrapers instead of building core features - and still only reaching ~80% reliability. Ahmed Gaber explains how they moved from internal scrapers to Actors from Apify Store, and why the trade-off finally made sense. 🎥 Watch the full story.

  • We are super excited to be partnering with Alma It shows what agentic AI is actually good at today: taking repetitive risk and compliance work off teams’ plates, keeping humans in control, and raising the bar on investigation quality. Faster onboarding, stronger controls, better merchant experience. More to come 👀👀 #KYC #AML #Fincrime #Risk

    I'm thrilled to share that Alma has partnered with Diligent 🎉 Alma supports 23,000+ merchants and 9M+ consumers across Europe. That growth comes with challenges: move fast, offer great customer experience without compromising risk, fraud, and compliance. Together we focused on removing manual merchant onboarding risk reviews while improving investigation quality. This is a great example of where agentic AI works well today: automating repetitive work while keeping humans in control of decisions and complex cases. The result is more consistent controls, faster onboarding, and a better merchant experience, without compromising regulatory standards. Big thanks to the Alma team (Maureen Gorman, Florence Aretz , Nicolas Sorton, Romane BOLLOCH, Peter Reichel) for the trust and collaboration 🧡 Full case study in the first comment👇
