Founders & story · from Alloy’s own dossier

Alloy started in 2015 as an identity-decisioning API to help banks and fintechs orchestrate KYC vendors during onboarding. Post-2021 Series C, the company expanded across the customer lifecycle — adding transaction monitoring, perpetual KYC/KYB, and AML case management — repositioning as a full identity/fraud/compliance platform. Its most recent push is embedded finance oversight (giving sponsor banks a dashboard across fintech partners) and agentic AI to automate case review.
