Xapien integrates AsiaVerify registry data into its due diligence reports.

Xapien integrates AsiaVerify registry data into its due diligence reports. 14th Aug 2026 AsiaVerify and Xapien have partnered: AsiaVerify is powering Xapien's dynamic due diligence platform with Asian company, shareholder, ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO), and sanctions data. For any company operating in Asia, analysts now can access and see the official filed record, without a separate search and manual reconciliation, helping compliance, research and onboarding teams work faster where their exposure crosses borders. Finding accurate ownership information takes local knowledge, particularly across Asia, where public records are uneven and access to official company data varies by jurisdiction. A single company can appear under its native-script name and several English spellings of it, and the shareholder named on its filing is often another company registered somewhere else, with the person in control three or four layers further up. Analysts close those gaps by hand, and the completeness of the file comes down to the time available. Through this partnership, Xapien users gain access to more than 450M+ entities across 11 Asian markets, taken directly from government registries. Each search runs against the native-script registered name alongside the English form, so a Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Vietnamese company can be matched to its own filing however its name has been spelled. Xapien handles the local language and the local registry, and the team reads one report. "Verified company and ownership information is the foundation of any credible risk decision, and across Asia that information sits with each market's own registry. We built AsiaVerify to make those records accessible at scale in the languages they are filed in. Working with Xapien brings them to the compliance and research teams who depend on them daily and we are delighted to be partnering with the Xapien team on this." - Adam Graham, Head of Commercial at AsiaVerify "Reliable due diligence comes from triangulating the full span of data available on a subject, and a gap in one set weakens everything read against it. AsiaVerify extends Xapien reports into registries that are hard to reach, so a search on an Asian company returns the filed record on the first pass and the analyst's time goes into the decision itself, not digging up registry data." - Zach Rothstein, Chief Strategy & Partnerships Officer at Xapien About AsiaVerify AsiaVerify is the corporate verification and risk intelligence layer for cross-border commerce in Asia, delivering trusted company, ownership, and risk insights from real-time registry data through to decision-ready assessment for global organisations. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Singapore, AsiaVerify is ISO 27001:2022 certified and was named in the Chartis RiskTech100 2026. About Xapien Xapien is setting a new standard in enterprise due diligence in today's evolving risk landscape.

Diligencia partners with Xapien to address growing demand for risk visibility in complex markets.

Diligencia partners with Xapien to address growing demand for risk visibility in complex markets. 12th Aug 2026 Organisations face increasing pressure to assess third-party risk quickly and accurately, particularly in regions where fragmented public records and inconsistent access to official company information make due diligence more challenging. These issues can slow onboarding, increase investigation costs and make it harder for risk, compliance and research teams to build a complete view of their counterparties. To help address this need, Diligencia, a specialist provider of due diligence and corporate intelligence solutions across the wider Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Xapien, a dynamic due diligence platform, have partnered to integrate Diligencia's proprietary company data into Xapien's platform. The integration gives Xapien users access to Diligencia's growing database of more than 29 million entities and direct shareholder information across 73 MEA countries, including markets where public registries are limited or closed. This helps organisations run due diligence, research, risk and onboarding processes more efficiently, particularly for teams with cross-border exposure. The partnership gives risk and compliance teams clear visibility of third-party risk across even the most complex markets - combining Diligencia's trusted regional data with Xapien's AI-powered research to accelerate confident decisions at scale. "Reliable corporate information is essential for understanding risk, particularly in markets where official company data can be difficult to access. By integrating Diligencia's verified corporate intelligence with Xapien's AI-driven research capabilities, organisations will be able to assess risk more quickly and comprehensively. We are delighted to be working with Xapien on this initiative," - Nouri Bakkali, Founder and CEO of Diligencia "Fragmented datasets don't just slow teams down, they carry more risk. By bringing Diligencia's specialist MEA coverage into Xapien, our users get richer, more locally accurate corporate data built into every report, so they can make faster, better-informed decisions on counterparties and clients, and focus their attention where the risk lies." - Chris Green, CEO, Xapien About Diligencia Diligencia is a trusted provider of corporate intelligence and due diligence solutions, with deep expertise across the wider Middle East and Africa. Since 2008, the company has delivered reliable, primary-source business information to help clients manage compliance, assess counterparty risk, and shape effective market strategies.

Certa and Xapien partner to deliver world-class automated due diligence.

Certa and Xapien partner to deliver world-class automated due diligence. 11th Aug 2026 By embedding Xapien's AI-powered background research directly into Certa's leading Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) platform, compliance and procurement teams can now fully understand every counterparty in minutes, replacing manual background checks with comprehensive, automated intelligence at scale. Certa, a named Leader in the 2026 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for Third-Party Risk Management Tools for Assurance Leaders, and Xapien, the London-based AI-native enhanced due diligence platform today announced a strategic partnership to bring together best-in-class enhanced due diligence and intelligent compliance orchestration for enterprise third party management. Through this integration, Certa customers can now trigger, analyse, and absorb Xapien's comprehensive background reports directly within the Certa platform, accelerating onboarding cycles from days to minutes. As modern organisations face exponentially complex regulatory landscapes, global conflicts, and reputational risks, compliance and procurement leaders must move beyond basic database checks. True risk mitigation demands deep-dive background intelligence covering ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO), politically exposed persons (PEPs), sanctions, adverse media, and corporate structures. The Certa-Xapien integration eliminates traditional friction, enabling organisations to seamlessly initiate extensive due diligence and continuous reputational tracking within existing third-party onboarding, procurement, and risk governance workflows. This milestone announcement occurs at a pivotal time for global corporate compliance. Enterprises are grappling with a surge in sophisticated financial crime, constantly evolving global sanctions regimes, and intensifying ESG and supply chain visibility mandates. Historically, deep-dive reputational and compliance due diligence required manual web searches, disparate data aggregators, or costly third-party investigative firms - siloed processes that delay critical business operations and risk oversight. For forward-thinking compliance executives, automating intelligence gathering at the point of choice is a foundational operational requirement to ensure enterprise integrity. More broadly, the collaboration reflects a structural evolution in enterprise risk architecture. Organisations are aggressively shifting away from disconnected legacy platforms toward integrated, intelligent operating systems that deliver comprehensive visibility in real time. By unifying Certa's agile workflow orchestration with Xapien's sophisticated application of AI and advanced entity resolution, the joint offering delivers greater transparency across compliance, risk, and legal teams globally. "Third-party risk doesn't wait for your annual review anymore. Vendor exposure moves in real time and is front-page news. Partnering with Xapien gives our clients a deeper layer of background intelligence, matched to that speed. By combining Certa's native AI TPRM orchestration with Xapien's automated research, we're replacing slow, manual investigations with the kind of real-time decision trust boards are now demanding." - Jag Lamba, CEO and Founder of Certa "Compliance, risk and procurement teams shouldn't have to leave the tools they already use to get a clear picture of third-party risk. By embedding Xapien natively in Certa, that's exactly what they get - full visibility on third-party risk, without switching platforms or slowing down. Due diligence stops being a bottleneck and starts helping teams make faster, better-informed decisions." - Chris Green, CEO, Xapien Through this integration, highly regulated organisations and those with complex and cascading third-party supply chains can benefit from a unified, frictionless experience that bridges supplier onboarding, compliance validation, and continuous risk monitoring. Xapien's AI-driven, comprehensive, source-linked due diligence reports are presented natively within Certa's user-friendly dashboards, enabling professionals to act on clear, risk signals immediately. This supports rigorous compliance and faster decision-making across global enterprises.
