Assessment
Strise pulls company registry, ownership and screening data into one onboarding case, so an analyst can see who owns and runs a business before approving it. Use it when business customers are the slow part of onboarding. A firm that also needs transaction monitoring should plan a second system, since Strise centres on customer checks.
Strise is based in Oslo, Norway, and has a UK office in London, England. Customers include BDO, Vipps MobilePay and SpareBank 1 SMN. Norwegian filings show revenue of ~$4.4M for 2025, up from ~$3.4M in 2024, with 29 employees.
It fits a Nordic or UK firm with many business customers to onboard and review each year. It is a weaker fit for a global bank that wants one vendor for screening, monitoring and case work across dozens of countries.
Rating by criterion
Each of the eight criteria below is scored out of 100.
Sector criteria
An onboarding team gets company lookups, beneficial-owner discovery, sanctions and PEP screening and ID verification for individuals in one flow. Check registry coverage for each country where the firm's customers are incorporated.
The risk engine scores each customer from ownership, screening and industry data, and ongoing monitoring flags changes after onboarding. Payment fraud needs another tool.
An analyst works one case per customer, with the evidence and the approval history kept together. That helps when an auditor asks why a company was approved two years earlier.
Strise holds SOC 2 and sells to regulated firms in the Nordics and the UK. Ask which local rules, such as the UK Money Laundering Regulations, its default risk models map to.
Vendor criteria
The product covers onboarding, ownership, screening, risk scoring and periodic review. Revenue grew ~25% in 2025, but the company is still small, so ask about its plans for the buyer's market.
Strise publishes customer stories from BDO and PwC Norway on automating AML work. Ask for a reference in the buyer's own country before signing, since most customers are Nordic.
Pricing is usage-based with no per-seat fee, but no rates are published, so a buyer needs a quote to compare costs.
Contract terms are not public. Ask for the minimum term and how usage is counted before committing.
