Middesk Agents (KYB investigation agents for OFAC false positives, ownership, address and merchant risk)

What it does

Middesk adds an investigation layer of specialised agents on top of its US business-identity data. Per Middesk, the agents research, verify and resolve the CIP, CDD, EDD and merchant-risk work that compliance teams run today: they investigate each OFAC screening match and deliver a decision with full reasoning, cross-reference sources to resolve address discrepancies, trace and verify beneficial ownership across complex structures, assess flagged litigation for materiality, confirm operating status from Secretary of State, web-presence and activity signals, and monitor merchant portfolios continuously, flagging and escalating what needs attention. An orchestration layer coordinates the agents. Findings arrive with evidence, sourcing and reasoning for audit, and the customer's team makes the final call. Delivery is through the Middesk platform and API. False-positive and hours statistics on the page are vendor claims. Pricing is not published.
