Detected Ltd raises £856.6k for global KYB and KYC compliance platform

Automating the lifecycle of business onboarding and identity verification is the core focus of Detected Ltd, which has recently secured an estimated £856.6k in new funding. The London-based company provides a unified platform for Know Your Business (KYB) and Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance, covering screening, monitoring, decisioning, and reporting.

Founded in 2020, Detected Ltd developed its AI-based platform to solve the complexities of customer onboarding for businesses operating across more than 190 jurisdictions. The software consolidates individual identity verification, AML screening, and compliance workflows into a single system. Current clients using the platform include Thomson Reuters, Weatherbys Bank, Zelis, and Currencies Direct.

This latest capital injection follows a series of funding rounds over the last five years. The company previously raised £392.4k in January 2024 and £1.6m in February 2023. Earlier documentation shows a £1.1m round in January 2022 which placed the company at a £12.3m valuation. Prior to that, the business was valued at £8.5m in September 2021 following a £341.7k round, and £8m in March 2021 after a £495k investment. The company's earliest funding includes two rounds in November 2020 totaling over £677k, with valuations ranging from £2.2m to £3.9m at that time.

The recent funding was recorded with an allotment date in October 2025 and a subsequent filing in November 2025. Financial records for the year ended 31 December 2024 show the company employed 12 people, though current LinkedIn data indicates the headcount has since grown to approximately 35 employees.

Detected Ltd remains headquartered in London, focusing on the software development industry and the provision of automated compliance infrastructure for global financial services. Its platform is designed to provide ongoing monitoring and business verification for firms requiring high-volume, cross-border onboarding solutions.
