#### _Introduced at Hong Kong FinTech Week, KY-AI™ brings a structured approach to AI oversight, aligned with the accountability, resilience and trust principles of the HKMA’s ART Framework._

HONG KONG SAR – [Media OutReach Newswire](https://www.media-outreach.com/) – 2 November
2026 – iCOMPASS, the developer of ULTRA™, an AI-powered Compliance Operating System,
today introduced KY-AI™ (Know Your Artificial Intelligence) to the Hong Kong market
at Hong Kong FinTech Week 2026. The announcement follows the Hong Kong Monetary 
Authority’s (HKMA) introduction of its ART Framework on 15 October, sharpening attention
on how banks establish accountability, operational resilience and trust as artificial
intelligence becomes more autonomous.

 Financial institutions are moving beyond AI experiments towards tools that analyse
sensitive data, recommend decisions and increasingly act across connected systems.
Yet a basic governance question remains: can an institution identify where AI is
operating, what it is permitted to do, who is accountable and whether its behaviour
remains acceptable over time?

 KY-AI™ turns these questions into a continuous, evidence-based governance process.
Built around its **Know–Approve–Test–Watch** lifecycle, the solution enables financial
institutions to identify and understand the AI systems they use, including third-
party tools, assess their risks and potential impact, establish clear ownership 
and accountability, and ensure appropriate approvals and ongoing monitoring are 
in place.

 As AI systems evolve, KY-AI™ enables institutions to track material changes, detect
emerging risks and intervene when necessary. This transforms AI oversight from a
one-time assessment into a **continuous, evidence****–****based governance process
that strengthens accountability and builds lasting trust in AI outcomes**.

 “The question is no longer simply whether a financial institution uses AI, but 
whether management truly understands what each AI system does, the risks involved,
who is accountable and when intervention is needed,” said Raymond Moh, CEO of iCOMPASS.“
With KY-AI™, we are applying the same discipline of knowing your customer to knowing
your artificial intelligence. By making AI oversight an ongoing, documented process
rather than a one-off exercise, we help financial institutions build greater confidence
and trust in how AI is used and the outcomes it delivers.”

 The introduction builds on iCOMPASS’ 6-in-1 ULTRA KYC™ solution, which brings onboarding&
identity verification, screening, customer due diligence, risk assessment, ongoing
monitoring and change management into a connected, evidence-linked AML/KYC workflow.
Having focused on making customer-risk decisions traceable, iCOMPASS is extending
the same emphasis on clear ownership, documented decisions and lifecycle monitoring
to AI governance.

 Alongside the KY-AI™ introduction, iCOMPASS is collaborating with Cambridge Advisers
Hong Kong under a Memorandum of Understanding to deliver digital compliance training
through UltraLearn™. Cambridge Advisers Hong Kong provides regulatory training content
while iCOMPASS supplies the learning platform powered by AI, including training 
records, assessments, reminders and CPT tracking. Courses cover areas including 
AML, cybersecurity, data protection and professional conduct.

 iCOMPASS serves more than 100 financial institutions across the region and holds
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and a SOC 2 Type II attestation covering all five
Trust Services Criteria.
