Our take
The regtech industry, already worth billions, is expected to scale as businesses respond to the growing dynamism of compliance regulation updates. Regtech company Global Screening Services (GSS), established in 2021, helps to enhance compliance and screening processes for financial institutions, with a focus on sanctions screening.
The company's platform takes data provided by its users and returns an alert if there is a match against a sanctions list. What makes GSS stand out is that it also cultivates a community network through which industry players can share and access knowledge, thereby helping to transform how financial crime is addressed.
The company’s leadership team boasts over 100 years of combined industry experience, meaning that GSS is well-positioned to help redefine compliance for the sector. Recent and substantial funding marks the company's transition from development to operational mode, gearing up to go live with its initial clients and expand its global presence.
