First launched in 2016, Beam designs software to help financial services providers, from FinTechs and banks to cryptocurrency firms, stay in compliance with AML and KYC rules, as well as SARs (suspicious activity regulations) around the world.

It mandates ongoing monitoring of suspicious activity, recordkeeping, and submitting suspicious activity reports (SARs) to the government. Ensure proper customer duediligence, including identity verification and risk assessment. The USA Patriot Act lays down which entities are required to do so.
