About ComplyAdvantage

About ComplyAdvantage

ComplyAdvantage's Mesh engine screens customers and transactions against sanctions lists, PEP databases, watchlists, and adverse media, with ongoing monitoring as those lists change. It sells the detection, not the workspace: every alert still needs someone to review it, escalate it, or clear it, with a record of who did what. Forest is that workspace. The two run on the same case: ComplyAdvantage raises the alert, Forest routes it, logs the decision, and keeps the audit trail a regulator can read.

Why ComplyAdvantage and Forest

Why ComplyAdvantage and Forest

ComplyAdvantage sells the detection. Someone still has to act on it.

Every sanctions hit, every PEP match, every adverse-media flag needs a reviewer, a decision, and a reason on file. ComplyAdvantage stops at the alert. Forest is where that alert becomes a case someone actually works.

The watchlists change daily. The review process should not have to.

Ongoing monitoring means new alerts on customers already onboarded, not just new applicants. Forest routes those the same way it routes everything else, so the team is not learning a new tool every time a list updates.

One detection engine, one operational record.

A screening hit sitting in a separate console is one more place an analyst has to check. The same hit landing next to the customer's KYC status and transaction history is one thing to review, not three.

Sanctions and PEP screening produce more alerts than almost any other AML control.

That volume is exactly what breaks a spreadsheet or an inbox. Forest's routing, escalation, and audit trail are built to hold up as the alert count grows, not just at pilot scale.

Frequently asked questions

What does ComplyAdvantage screen for?

Sanctions lists, PEP databases, watchlists, and adverse media, plus ongoing monitoring as those lists change, across both customers and transactions, in real time.

Does ComplyAdvantage replace the review workflow?

No. ComplyAdvantage generates the alert. Someone still has to review it, escalate it, or clear it, with a record of the decision; that part is not what ComplyAdvantage sells.

Is there a native Forest connector for ComplyAdvantage?

Not yet. ComplyAdvantage is API-first through its Mesh platform; a Forest custom action calling that API is the current integration path, until a packaged connector ships.

What happens to a ComplyAdvantage alert once it reaches Forest?

It becomes a case: routed to the right reviewer, escalated if it needs a second opinion, resolved with a decision and a rationale, and logged on the audit trail.

Why not just use ComplyAdvantage's own case management?

You can. Forest is for teams who want that alert sitting next to the rest of their operational data, KYC status, transactions, other vendor outputs, in one reviewable workspace instead of a separate tool.
