Search Global Sanctions, PEP, Financial & Regulatory Data. Instantly.
Our HUNT (IaaS) platform was purpose-built to fill critical voids in the diligence space, serving the AML and counter intelligence markets.
Global coverage from our highly curated dataset includes:
Our Data
Orca AI focuses exclusively on authoritative data from official primary sources and guides the user to the parent directories of search term locations. This means our users’ information supply chain is “farm to table” from the world’s governments and quasi-governmental authorities to your desktop.
Global Coverage: Our jurisdictions are organized under ISO 3166 country codes and then augmented as necessary.
- All 193 UN Member States and four sovereign or quasi-sovereign non-member states (Kosovo, Palestinian Territories, Taiwan, Vatican) 22 Semi-autonomous overseas territories
- 40 multinational, transnational, and international political-economic organizations and most of the world’s securities and commodities markets
Sanctions, Embargos, Exclusions, Suspensions & Debarments
- Not all jurisdictions maintain sanction regimes, and many enforce multination sanctions like the UN or EU. Orca AI has painstakingly determined which jurisdictions conform to what sanctions programs and developed sophisticated country-specific filtering options for our users.
- Includes all sanctions lists for the European Union (EU), the United Nations (UN), and all Five Eyes countries. These are refreshed daily.
Wanted Fugitives & Persons of Interest
- Data also includes notices from about 50 other governmental authorities around the world including INTERPOL Red Notices (refreshed daily).
Criminal Litigation, Civil Litigation & Arbitration
- While many jurisdictions have monetized their court records, many have not. Years of investigative experience have revealed that the is no single source solution to performing criminal background checks or litigation checks. Orca AI focuses on collecting foreign court records.
- Almost 1,000 data sets of civil and criminal court records from more than 100 countries and international organizations.
Patents, Trademarks & Intellectual Property
- Patent and Trademarks data from 140 governmental authorities around the world.
Professional Associations, Registrations & Licenses
- This data category is focused on non-derogatory information published by financial authorities and other organizations. If the subject of your research claims to be a licensed FOREX broker in six Caribbean nations, this is where to either validate or call into question those claims.
- Containing over 2,000 data sets from around the world.
Political Exposure
- Financial Action Task Force (FATF) compliant definition of Politically Exposed Person (PEP) used to populate Tier 1-3 data.
- Orca AI analysts have assessed that recruiting (witting and unwitting) and corruption at the sub-national level are keys to conducting effective malign influence and have expanded the definitional scope (and supporting data) of political exposure to support customers with counterintelligence missions. Customers purely focused on AML compliance can easily bypass this expanded data using our filtering technology.
- In some cases (e.g., the world’s royal family members), the quality of official reporting did not meet our standards, and in these cases Orca AI provides internally generated organic data based on expert research.
Financial Regulatory Authority Enforcement Actions & Records
- Orca AI analysts struggled to make third-party enforcement data aggregators useful in investigations, because ultimately, we need to read the complaint and assess risk. This data category is a key pillar for Orca and will always take the user to the primary source material.
- This data category has almost 1,800 data sets from over 160 countries or international organizations.
Tax Delinquency, Bankruptcies, Liens & Judgements
- Nearly 100 data sets.
Non-profit Affiliations
- More than 100 data sets of registered non-profit organizations, aid and development organizations, and charities from around the world.
Tangible Assets
- This is a new data category for us and is currently sparsely populated. This includes beneficial ownership of aircraft, vessels, real estate, etc.
We do not acquire data from third parties.
Global Coverage: Our jurisdictions are organized under ISO 3166 country codes and then augmented as necessary.
- Our data comes straight from the source, free from the biases of secondary or tertiary reporting. It’s unfiltered, and not subject to advertising algorithms.
- The integrity of your data analysis is only as good as the data it's based on. With ORCA AI, that foundation is rock-solid.
- We connect you directly to the source, reducing the risk of misinterpretation and ensuring that the data you receive is as it was meant to be seen and understood.
We are not an adverse media aggregator. We do not include data from any media outlet - social or otherwise.
While media platforms are indispensable resources, they are subject to editorial control, advertisers, and market dynamics. This creates underlying conditions for bias and slant.
No data from data breaches.
Data extracted from breaches can provide exceptional information, but ORCA AI has no way of validating the authenticity of the data in these breaches. Seeding authentic material with forgeries and disinformation is known adversary tradecraft.

Our Mission
Orca AI’s objective is to establish and execute collection priorities in the global financial system and be the trusted provider of primary source information to support compliance, diligence, investigations, and risk decisions to private companies and governments around the world.
About US
Proudly owned and operated by experienced US and UK professionals, ORCA AI LLC brings unparalleled expertise in commercial investigations, intelligence, finance, risk management, and technology development.
Orca AI LLC was conceived by a team of experienced commercial investigators, guided by anti-money laundering (AML) compliance practitioners, and developed by a team of veteran software engineers and database gurus. Our HUNT product is the result of our dissatisfaction with industry-standard compliance tools applicability to investigations, and frustration with the relevance of AML standards to the modern threat environment.
Customer Testimonials
“Every once in a while, someone comes along and really shakes up the diligence space. This is fantastic.”
“Someone finally pulled all the international data together and indexed it. About time.”
“You did the exact opposite of what the entire industry is doing right now. You minimized the front end user interface functionality and placed primacy on the data and the back end functionality.”
"No one has this data in their search tool. This is a total game-changer."
“Orca has re-defined data categories in ways that have us reconsidering how we’re doing things. The organization of the international space is very thoughtful. This makes it accessible and provides a fresh look at the problem set.”
"It took me and my colleague three whole days of searching to find the results that Orca found in less than five seconds."
Insights
Orca AI founders discuss the insufficiency of FATF’s definition of PEP to address modern geopolitical realities where malign influence intersects with corruption: Are Your Business Counter-parties Politically Exposed Persons?
"Russia and China’s ability to degrade the integrity of Western democratic and financial institutions is almost entirely dependent on their ability to influence a broader spectrum of PEPs than is currently mandated for enhanced diligence."
Orca AI founders discuss How America’s Competitors Privatized Great Power Competition in chapter 3 of this edited volume.
"And now America is losing the information war, turned inward against itself as preexisting political and socio-cultural differences were wedged and levered further apart, first by Russian political warfare operations, and then by US political operatives who had gained a feral understanding of this tradecraft’s effectiveness while they were spectators to it, and then became practitioners."
Orca AI founders and associates discuss using commercial diligence to investigate and attribute adversary activities in the gray zone between peace and war: Commercial Intelligence in the Gray Zone.
"Conversely, hostile foreign powers support their commercial activities in the gray zone with the full complement of instruments of national power. This is the equivalent of a US firm going to market in a foreign country with the support of CIA, NSA, State, Treasury, Justice, and Commerce. Not to put too fine a point on it, but we’re not competing. We’re getting our asses kicked."
Orca AI founders and associates discuss The Commercialization of Influence Operations in chapter 9 of this edited volume.
"While the US birthed many if not most modern commercial influence operation capabilities, as a nation the US lags behind its global competitors in controlling the cognitive high ground in the information battlespace."
Orca AI founders and associates discuss Who are the Great Powers in 2021? In chapter 3 of this edited volume.
"They [China and Russia] know that America in particular draws sharp lines between the military/security/government domains and that of the private sector and civil society, and they ruthlessly exploit that separation to give themselves freedom of action, under the guise of capitalism and private pursuits."
Orca AI founders and associates describe competition below armed conflict as subversion of instruments of national power: Reconsidering Great Power Competition Below Armed Conflict
"Rather than risk direct kinetic conflict to reach the desired endstate, the weapon of choice in this battlespace is subversion. In modern application, subversion is intended to exceed the threshold of ordinary competition, and to destabilize the opposition enough to distract them, turn them inward, and gain room for maneuver."
