First AML and Xapien Announce Strategic Global Partnership to Transform AML Compliance and Due Diligence

London – Thursday 12 June 2025

First AML, a leading provider of end-to-end anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) software, and Xapien, an AI-powered due diligence platform, have announced a global partnership that will reshape how organisations approach AML compliance and third-party risk.

The partnership combines First AML’s robust AML/KYC platform, which streamlines onboarding and compliance processes with Xapien’s dynamic due diligence platform. By joining forces, the two companies will offer clients a deeper, more efficient and proactive way to approach risk management.

Michael Sadan, Global Head of Partnerships at First AML, commented: “Our mission is to make AML instant, without compromising on thoroughness or accuracy. This partnership moves us closer to that vision by giving our clients unparalleled access to structured and unstructured insights, without slowing down their onboarding or compliance workflows. Together, we’re offering a faster, smarter way to fight financial crime.”

Zach Rothstein, Head of Growth and Partnerships at Xapien, added: “Today’s risks are not the same as tomorrow’s risks. Organisations can’t rely on static databases alone. They need real-time contextual insights to make confident decisions. Partnering with First AML allows us to bring that clarity to clients in a way that is fast, scalable and easy to use. This is about transforming due diligence from a manual burden into a strategic advantage.”
