KYC Protect is a KYC/AML compliance platform built specifically for the art market, serving galleries, art and antique dealers, and auction houses across the UK and EU. The art world faces increasingly strict anti-money laundering regulations, particularly in the UK and EU, where businesses are now required to conduct customer due diligence, verify identities, and report suspicious activity for transactions above €10,000. These requirements are still relatively new, and many businesses in the sector are only beginning to understand how to comply effectively. The art market remains uniquely complex: transactions are often high-value, cross-border, and built on trust and discretion. Traditional AML tools are rarely adapted to this context, and only a small number of specialised solutions currently exist. KYC Protect addresses this gap. It provides a simple, intuitive way for art businesses to manage compliance without disrupting their workflow. From onboarding new clients to ongoing monitoring and documentation, the platform is tailored to the realities of how galleries and dealers actually operate. Our goal is to make compliance accessible, efficient, and aligned with the pace and culture of the industry — removing friction rather than adding complexity, helping clients meet regulatory requirements with confidence while maintaining the discretion and personal relationships that define the art market.
