Compliance

When did you first become aware of this?

That question — from a regulator, an auditor, or internal review — is the one your AML programme needs to answer confidently.

Opoint delivers the adverse media signals compliance teams need: earlier, cleaner, and in more languages than any single-feed solution.

The compliance gap isn’t your process. It’s your signals.

Most AML and KYC programmes are well-designed on paper. The problem is upstream: adverse media that arrives too late, alerts that fire on yesterday’s information, and coverage that stops at English-language sources — leaving entire regions of risk invisible to your screening tools.

EMEA enforcement penalties surged 767% in 2025. Regulators are no longer asking whether firms have controls. They’re asking whether those controls are proportionate to actual risk exposure. Language coverage, signal timing, and deduplication quality are now part of that answer.

Adverse Media Detection, Earlier

Opoint indexes over 3.5 million articles a day, often surfacing stories in local and regional outlets before they reach mainstream sources. When a counterparty appears in an investigative report or regulatory notice, your team sees it at first mention, not days later.

Financial crime rarely breaks in English first. Opoint monitors 250,000+ sources across 135 languages and 230 jurisdictions, including the non-English regional press and niche trade publications that standard adverse media feeds routinely miss. Because the signal that matters most often surfaces in a language your current stack isn’t listening to.

Every article arrives with entity tags, LEI and FIGI identifiers, IPTC topic classification, sentiment scoring, and deduplication; so your screening tools and case management systems receive a clean, audit-ready signal rather than a wall of unstructured text.

How Quantifind uses Opoint to power risk intelligence at scale

Quantifind’s Graphyte™ platform serves tier-1 and tier-2 banks, fintechs, and government agencies running AML, KYC, sanctions, and investigation workflows. Before integrating Opoint, their customers were hitting consistent gaps: stories missing from non-English sources, latency between first mention and alert delivery, and duplication creating noise that buried genuine signals.

With Opoint’s multilingual news feed embedded as Graphyte’s external signal layer, risk and compliance teams now surface adverse media at first mention — across local, regional, and long-tail sources that standard feeds miss.

The integration of Opoint’s comprehensive news data with Quantifind’s AI-driven insights significantly enhances our ability to provide clients with timely and actionable intelligence.
