PwC Middle East, a leading professional services network in the region, has formed a strategic partnership with KYC Portal CLM, the client lifecycle management and risk orchestration platform, to deliver technology-enabled compliance transformation across the Middle East.
The partnership was launched in response to the growing need among regulated institutions for more scalable, efficient and automation-driven compliance systems.
KYC Portal CLM, trusted by financial institutions, law firms, gaming operators and other regulated entities across more than 25 jurisdictions, streamlines AML and KYC processes from onboarding through to ongoing monitoring.
Through the collaboration, PwC Middle East gains access to KYCP’s no-code configuration engine and dynamic automation functionality to support clients in building stronger, more resilient compliance frameworks.
Together, the firms aim to give organisations a holistic approach to meeting regulatory obligations while reducing manual workloads and enhancing audit readiness.
Additional features of the partnership include the ability to automate KYC, AML and due diligence processes; deploy scalable compliance systems; strengthen real-time risk management; and respond more effectively to rapidly evolving regulatory requirements. The firms stated that the joint solution is designed to help institutions boost operational resilience, improve efficiency and support long-term strategic growth.
The collaboration also underscores the companies’ shared ambition to elevate compliance standards and advance innovation across the region’s financial and corporate ecosystems. KYC Portal CLM noted that it will continue working closely with PwC Middle East to deliver measurable value and transform how risk and compliance are managed across the customer lifecycle.
KYC Portal CLM CEO Kristoff Zammit Ciantar said, “KYC Portal CLM is proud to join forces with PwC to deliver seamless, automated customer lifecycle management for clients in the Middle East region.
“Our platform adapts to each client’s needs, enabling rapid onboarding, real-time risk scoring, and continuous compliance. This collaboration allows organisations to focus on growth, not just regulation.”
PwC Middle East partner, deals and financial services leader Mahmoud Al Salah said, “Our collaboration with KYCP is rooted in a shared commitment to help institutions across the Middle East thrive.
“By combining human expertise with next-generation technology, we are enabling our clients to turn regulatory challenges into strategic advantages, enhance productivity, and build a reputation that stands strong in an increasingly complex world.”
