amlr.io vs ComplyAdvantage
ComplyAdvantage sells you screening data. It does not give you a compliance department. Here is where the line falls.
amlr.io saves you money by cutting compliance staff costs and compliance tool costs — it runs the whole compliance department of a crypto company, not the screening feed behind it.
ComplyAdvantage is a data company. amlr.io is an operations company. Their database is a real advantage we will not pretend away — but data alone is not a case file, an approval, a register or an audit trail, and an inspection asks for those.
Screening is one step; the obligation runs all year. Collection, collaboration, approval, review and the evidence an auditor asks for are the actual work — and they are what amlr.io carries.
