The story

GSS operates as a sanctions screening and financial crime compliance infrastructure provider, primarily serving financial institutions as a data processor. The company has deepened its go-to-market through a strategic Swift partnership, allowing banks already on the Swift network to plug in GSS screening with minimal friction. The ICICI Bank partnership for jeweller loans signals a potential expansion into adjacent lending facilitation use cases in emerging markets.
