About the webinar

Today, domestic business verification mostly runs on its own. The entity matches a Secretary of State record, the owners check out, and the case closes.

International applications are different. A UK company with a Dutch parent has no U.S. record to match, so someone on your team has to find the foreign registry, work through filings that may not be in English, and trace who owns the business. Every new market means more of those complex files.

With verified business data and AI agents that do the investigation, international files can move through review like domestic ones, with a full record of every decision.

In this 30-minute session, Middesk and Sphinx show how verified business identity data and autonomous AI compliance analysts work together to move cross-border applications from queue to decision. No trading rigor for speed, or unexplainable black box processes.

What you'll learn:

  • Why cross-border business verification falls out of straight-through processing, and where your manual queues come from
  • How the work splits between data and agents: authoritative business identity data goes in, and investigated, dispositioned cases come out
  • A workflow walkthrough of a UK parent company opening a U.S. account, from registry check to sanctions, PEP, and beneficial ownership review
  • When an agent should make the decision, and when it should escalate to a human
  • What examiners expect to see behind every automated approval: sources, timestamps, and step-by-step reasoning

Who should attend:

Compliance, BSA/AML, risk, and onboarding leaders at banks and fintechs that are expanding beyond U.S. borders.
