About Perseus Compliance

Perseus Compliance specialises in independent Due Diligence, KYC Reviews and Reputation Assessments.

Using specialised screening tools and extensive banking compliance expertise, we help financial institutions, family offices, professional intermediaries, businesses and private clients obtain reliable intelligence on individuals and legal entities, identify potential regulatory, reputational and financial crime risks, and make informed decisions with confidence.

Our services are primarily delivered across Monaco, Switzerland and Europe, while also supporting international matters in FATF-compliant jurisdictions worldwide.

Unlike automated screening platforms, Perseus Compliance combines advanced screening tools with human analysis, professional judgement and practical banking compliance experience.
