Fenergo and Moody’s Partner to Accelerate Perpetual KYC

Published Date

New York — 20th November 2025 – Fenergo, the leading provider of AI-powered Client Lifecycle Management (CLM), Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) transaction monitoring solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Moody’s Corporation (NYSE: MCO) to integrate Moody’s Entity Verification API into Fenergo’s FinCrime OS. 

The partnership combines Fenergo’s market-leading CLM and KYC capabilities with Moody’s industry-leading entity data and risk intelligence. Together, the firms aim to help financial institutions improve operational efficiency, accelerate straight-through processing and focus analyst resources on higher-risk cases in an event-driven, risk-based approach to compliance.

Tackling the perpetual KYC challenge 

Traditional periodic KYC reviews are costly, time-intensive and disruptive to client relationships. Fenergo’s agentic AI-driven approach enables financial institutions to transition from retrospective, batch-based reviews to continuous monitoring, where client records are dynamically updated as new data emerges. By integrating Moody’s Entity Verification capabilities, compliance teams can directly access real-time registry data, curated entity details and a comprehensive risk database covering over 600 million companies and 1.7 billion ownership links across 200+ jurisdictions.

Delivering measurable benefits 

The collaboration represents Fenergo’s commitment to investing in strategic data integrations within the FinCrime ecosystem, bringing together Moody’s data to create a unified, configurable solution for financial institutions. The integration delivers: 

  • Perpetual KYC enablement – Event-driven updates eliminate reliance on periodic reviews, so that client records remain accurate and up to date 
  • Operational efficiency – Automated data sourcing reduces manual intervention, freeing compliance teams to focus on high-value investigative work 
  • Enhanced customer experience – Fewer disruptions to clients during KYC processes through straight-through processing
  • Risk-based prioritization – Analysts can direct attention toward higher-risk entities while low-risk cases are expedited

Matt Edwards, Global VP Partnerships and Alliances, Fenergo, said: 

“Our strategic alliance with Moody’s represents a major step forward in delivering perpetual KYC at scale. By embedding Moody’s market-leading entity verification data into FinCrime OS, we’re enabling clients to achieve faster decision-making, more accurate risk assessments and a frictionless customer experience.” 

Ana Meauta, Managing Director of Channel Sales Partnerships at Moody’s, said:

“Partnering with Fenergo allows us to bring our trusted data and risk insights directly into financial institutions’ compliance workflows. Together, we’re helping firms reduce manual inefficiencies, improve accuracy and take a more proactive approach to fighting financial crime.”
