Parcha
Compliance agents for banks and fintechs that run know your customer, know your business, and anti money laundering due diligence, researching and risk rating entities in minutes.
Parcha builds artificial intelligence agents that do the manual work of financial compliance. Founded in 2020 and based in San Francisco, the company has partnered with fast growing fintech and crypto firms including Airwallex, Flutterwave, Pipe, and Bridge, which was acquired by Stripe. Where compliance teams once spent hours reading corporate documents, mapping ownership, and writing risk rationales by hand, Parcha's agents conduct know your customer, know your business, anti money laundering, and enhanced due diligence reviews autonomously, reaching a risk rating in minutes rather than hours.
The agents combine current large language models with chain of thought reasoning and multimodal input to run deep research across thousands of datapoints. They scan a company's online footprint and business directories, validate documents like articles of incorporation, ownership records, and source of funds statements with fraud detection, map beneficial ownership chains, and screen against sanctions lists, watchlists, politically exposed persons, and adverse media across more than a hundred and ninety countries. Customers report accuracy from ninety five to nearly one hundred percent, with one production deployment at Flutterwave measured at 99.7 percent.
Agent Hub lets a compliance team assemble its own agents in minutes from ready made templates for know your customer and business checks, enhanced due diligence, anti money laundering screening, document verification, and vendor due diligence. Each template is fully customizable, so an institution can replicate its exact standard operating procedures, risk tolerance, and internal policies inside the agent and get consistent results across languages and jurisdictions. A team can stay in control of how the agent handles every step, keeping humans on the cases that need judgment.
Parcha is built to slot into an existing compliance stack rather than replace it. It works as a solutions partner inside platforms like Alloy, powering ongoing perpetual reviews that re run whenever customer information changes or suspicious activity appears, not just at onboarding. Every determination arrives with detailed source documentation and a complete audit trail, which matters in a domain where a regulator can ask an institution to show exactly why a customer was approved, denied, or escalated.

Use cases & customers
In practice
A crypto exchange must onboard a business customer fast without missing a sanctions hit. Parcha's due diligence agent researches the entity, verifies its documents, screens global watchlists, and returns a risk rating in minutes with full source documentation.
A fintech's compliance team is buried in routine Level 1 reviews. Parcha automates them so analysts move to high impact investigations, denying businesses that fail anti money laundering requirements ninety percent faster without adding headcount.
A bank needs continuous monitoring, not just onboarding checks. Running inside Alloy, Parcha re runs due diligence whenever a customer's information changes or suspicious activity appears, keeping the risk picture current across the customer lifecycle.
