complead

complead (formerly Sanction Scanner) builds AI-native risk infrastructure for fraud and financial crime compliance. The company was founded in 2020 and rebranded from Sanction Scanner to complead in 2026 as its product grew from sanctions screening into a full compliance platform.

complead runs sanctions and PEP screening, adverse media, KYC, KYB and UBO verification, transaction monitoring and fraud prevention on one engine, complead Fusion. Each customer has one record and one explainable risk score shared across all of these checks, so compliance teams do not reconcile results between separate tools.

More than 800 institutions in 80+ countries use complead, including banks, payment and e-money institutions, fintechs, insurers, crypto exchanges, money transfer, leasing and factoring companies. The company has offices in London, New York and Istanbul.
