we believe the best decisions are made when people understand the full picture

Encompass is the creator of Know Your Customer (KYC) automation for major financial and professional service firms globally.

Through personal experience, we know that access to the full picture can empower businesses to fight global financial crime. Following the successful exit of their big data visualisation company, our founders, Wayne Johnson and Roger Carson, became investors themselves. One of those investments proved very costly when they became victims of financial crime. Frustratingly, information on the parties involved that would have flagged this risk was available, but inefficient, manual processes meant it was overlooked. With the full picture, Wayne and Roger would have walked away from the deal.

This experience led them to set up Encompass with the mission of enabling regulated firms to comprehensively detect and prevent financial crime and reduce regulatory risk.

We are the only provider of simultaneous, real-time access to multiple sources of global company, registry and person data. By using robotic search to discover everything your KYC policy demands, Encompass delivers more efficient processes and faster, safer regulatory compliance, resulting in lower costs and superior risk management.

Encompass robotically searches structured and unstructured information sources to automate your KYC, AML and EDD policies. Key elements including UBOs, PEPs, sanctions and adverse media are all identified, visualised and verified in seconds. Whether it’s one, or one thousand customers, enhanced risk assessment, monitoring and remediation can now be achieved at scale through the power of automation.
