Identity, compliance-state evaluation, and AI governance for regulated financial institutions.

Zekret provides a unified identity, compliance, and AI decisioning infrastructure for banks, fintechs, payments providers, and financial institutions requiring deterministic controls, privacy-preserving verification, and consistent sanctions/eligibility enforcement.

Zero-retention identity and attestations

Deterministic sanctions and eligibility enforcement

Explainable AI inside bank perimeter

Sovereign deployment: VPC, on-prem, air-gapped

Executive Overview

Banks face increasing regulatory pressure, fragmented legacy systems, and rising operational costs for KYC, sanctions screening, eligibility assessment, and transaction oversight.

Zekret delivers a single trust layer that integrates identity, attestations, risk intelligence, and AI governance into onboarding, account management, transactions, access control, operational approvals, and eligibility workflows—removing fragmentation and improving resilience while keeping sensitive data inside the bank perimeter.
