C6 Intelligence

What C6 Intelligence does

C6 Intelligence, operating commercially as KYC6, is an AML and KYC compliance data and screening provider serving financial institutions, corporates, gaming operators and consulting partners across 230+ jurisdictions. The platform delivers real-time coverage of global sanctions lists (UN, EU, US OFAC, UK OFSI), global PEP databases, more than 1,000 regulatory and enforcement watchlists, and local-language adverse media monitoring of financial crime and AML predicate offenses. It is complemented by human-augmented Enhanced Due Diligence reports with multilingual delivery and customizable templates, and by Cybercheck, a credential breach monitoring service covering over 185 billion compromised records refreshed from 2,000+ sources.

The underlying technology is a cloud-native data delivery platform that exposes screening and monitoring data via JSON lines-format feeds with customizable delta access frequencies, designed for scalable, high-volume consumption by enterprise AML, fraud and case management systems. The company is a service within ION Analytics, the financial data and analytics arm of ION Group, and is distributed primarily through ION's enterprise sales infrastructure, the ionanalytics.com website, and a partner/reseller channel of consulting firms and system integrators.

Revenue is generated through recurring subscriptions to compliance data feeds (sanctions, PEP, watchlist, adverse media), on-demand Enhanced Due Diligence reports, and data monetisation via Cybercheck credential breach access. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with an enterprise sales motion targeting risk and compliance professionals. The company reports 51–100 employees and is privately held under ION Group ownership.
