Reserve your early access to the free trial of Babel Street Match, coming soon
In identity, compliance, and risk workflows, precision isn’t a nice-to-have — it's a requirement.
Yet, most identity systems today are outdated, rules-based, and prone to the same costly failures: false positives, missed threats, and manual review that drags down the entire workflow.
According to a study conducted by Fenergo, “KYC is a major component of compliance spend, representing 31-40% of the total compliance budget for almost one third of banks that took part in the survey. For one fifth of firms, KYC spend is even higher at 41%-50% of the compliance budget. No firm is spending less than 10% of their compliance budget on KYC.”[1]
That’s because KYC remains a people-driven, manual operation, with a third of banks employing 1,001 to 1,500 full time employees (FTEs) just to manage KYC, while the largest firms employ up to 3,000 FTEs for KYC.[2]
Babel Street Match is the critical component that fixes what your current system gets wrong. Match handles global name variations with ease, integrates seamlessly into your existing stack, and nearly eliminates false positives—dropping them by at least 90%.
Seeing is believing when it comes to identity matching accuracy with your unique data. And that’s why we’re giving you a way to try it for yourself, with your own data, in your own workflows.
A smarter component, not a full platform
We’re not offering another bloated identity platform. We’re offering the precision upgrade your current system needs — one that drops into existing infrastructure (Elastic, OpenSearch, Solr, or internal tools) and immediately improves performance, confidence, and speed.
Unlike traditional rules-based systems, our AI-driven technology learns from patterns across multiple global identities to recognize variations that exact-match systems miss. Our matching engine understands how names change across borders, cultures, and transliteration systems — something traditional fuzzy matching can’t achieve.
A leading global financial services provider uses Babel Street Match as the name matching engine for its premier KYC screening and due diligence products. Through this service, Match performs one billion name matches each day.
