SmartSearch has fast in its DNA — 2 second KYC, ~2 minute KYB, and nightly sanctions/PEP monitoring. For businesses with growing pains of lots of manual lookups, SmartSearch is a tidy one-stop-shop lift, that marries off the market leading data providers (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, Dow Jones, Companies House, LSEG). The two recent announcements of an Iress integration with SmartSearch, and the acquisition of Credas, is an indication of forward motion. Currently strongest in the UK, but international coverage is as wide or narrow as the data sources available to you.

iThink of it as a temperature gauge for trust: the higher the number, the warmer the welcome you can extend to a provider handling your customer data and regulatory peace of mind.
- Onboarding Speed90/100 AmazingKYC in ~2 seconds; KYB in ~2 minutes. One platform replaces many searches.
- Due Diligence Depth82/100 Very goodSanctions, PEP/RCA, adverse media, and nightly Dow Jones watchlist monitoring with alerts.
- Integrations & Scale80/100 Very goodAPI/integration posture plus fresh partnerships (Iress) and expansion via Credas deal.
Best for
- Very fast checks — KYC in seconds; KYB in minutes—built for high-volume onboarding.
- Serious data coverage — Multi-bureau and registry partners; UK pass rate up to 97% claimed.
- Ongoing monitoring baked-in — Nightly screening against updated sanctions/PEP lists with alerting.
Think twice if
- Pricing not published — No public pricing page; procurement requires a sales path.
- UK-weighted strength — Emphasis on UK data (and match-rate claim) suggests non-UK performance may vary.
- Adverse-media specifics are light — Site outlines coverage but lacks transparent source detail beyond Dow Jones watchlist.
