About us | Cedar Rose

Turn compliance into confidence. Turn insight into action.

Cedar Rose equips financial institutions to transform regulatory pressure into operational confidence. Our intelligence supports rapid, compliant decision-making, enabling banks to manage risk, activate clients faster, and operate with assurance across high-risk and low-transparency regions worldwide, from onboarding to lending, trade finance, and continuous monitoring. You gain clear, defensible insight that aligns teams across risk, credit, and compliance.

Intelligence That Supports the Full Client Lifecycle

In banking and finance, every client relationship carries exposure and every delay creates lost opportunity. Cedar Rose delivers fast, structured, and verified business intelligence that strengthens onboarding, lending, trade finance, and compliance workflows. Our data reduces uncertainty, cuts manual rechecks, and accelerates client activation in complex or opaque jurisdictions. From standard KYB to deeper integrity checks, we help institutions meet evolving regulatory expectations with confidence.

KYB & Client Onboarding

Verified business identities, ownership structures, and registration details presented in a consistent format that reduces manual review time. This allows compliance and onboarding teams to activate new corporate clients quickly, eliminate documentary gaps, and maintain clear auditability across jurisdictions.

Credit Risk & Trade Exposure Analysis

Comprehensive insight into liquidity, financial stability, and payment performance, supported by independent scoring models. Lending and trade-finance teams can benchmark applicants, adjust exposure, and price facilities accurately, even in fast-changing or opaque markets where traditional data is slow or incomplete.

Sanctions, PEP & AML Screening

Real-time matching against global watchlists, political exposure classifications, and multilingual adverse-media sources. All checks include documented evidence, enabling compliance teams to justify decisions, respond confidently to auditors, and maintain a defensible regulatory posture across all market segments.

Portfolio Monitoring & Alerts

Continuous oversight that surfaces changes in ownership, legal status, credit strength, or compliance posture. Alerts highlight entities needing review, allowing risk and relationship managers to intervene early rather than relying on time-based reassessments that miss fast-moving developments.

MEA Market Expertise

Reliable corporate intelligence sourced from jurisdictions where public records are fragmented, multilingual, or inconsistent. Regional specialists validate key information and resolve gaps, providing financial institutions with confidence when evaluating counterparties in the Middle East, Africa, and frontier economies.

API Integration & Data Delivery

Flexible digital delivery that feeds structured intelligence directly into onboarding platforms, CRM systems, compliance tools, and scoring engines. APIs, batch files, and custom formats support automated workflows, reduce manual re-keying, and ensure rapid access to verified business data at scale.

Enhanced Integrity Due Diligence

Human-led investigations that uncover deeper insights into reputation, political exposure, litigation, source-of-wealth indicators, and informal market signals. This level of scrutiny helps financial institutions evaluate sensitive relationships, high-value transactions, and complex ownership networks with confidence.

Due Diligence Risk Score

A consolidated rating derived from legal, financial, compliance, and reputational factors. The score helps organisations prioritise reviews, benchmark counterparties, and document risk decisions clearly. It simplifies case management by presenting a single, comparable snapshot of overall exposure and potential vulnerabilities.

Accessible Reporting & Delivery

Reports designed for inclusive consumption, meeting PDF-UA and WCAG standards while maintaining clarity for audit and regulatory review. This ensures cross-department usability, reduces friction for compliance teams, and provides a defensible evidence trail for internal governance and external oversight.

Don’t Let Unreliable Data Derail Your Growth!

Incomplete unreliable data and limited risk visibility don't just slow your company down; they actively sabotage its growth. Without comprehensive standardised, reliable quality data, you expose your business to unnecessary risks which complicate your ability to analyse the market landscape, and develop effective strategies.

Worse yet, compliance missteps, especially in new markets, can lead to costly fines that stifle your growth and tarnish your reputation. All this is also compounded by slow, manual processes that leave you scrambling to keep up, ultimately costing you deals, partnerships, and valuable time.

The thing is, high growth often means high-risk exposure, and the only way to navigate risk is through data. When harnessed correctly, data serves as your north star, guiding you through the maze of growth.
