Built for the firms the big vendors quote and never call back.
Frodiq is compliance software made in Bahrain for licensees who carry a real regulatory obligation and do not have a compliance department of thirty people.
Why this exists
The enterprise AML platforms are built for banks with implementation budgets. A small exchange house or SME licensee carries much the same obligation and gets quoted a price that assumes a team to run it — so most of them end up monitoring transactions in a spreadsheet and hoping the folder of screenshots holds up.
That is a tooling gap, not a diligence gap. The people doing this work are careful; what they lack is software that produces evidence as a side effect of the work rather than as a separate chore afterwards.
Frodiq is built for the reality of that job: an Arabic-speaking compliance officer, a book of a few thousand customers, and an inspection that will ask them to reconstruct a decision they made eight months ago.
What we hold to
- Evidence as a by-product
- The record a regulator asks for should fall out of doing the work, not be assembled afterwards from memory.
- Arabic is not a translation layer
- Both languages are acceptance criteria for every screen we ship, and right-to-left is a genuine mirror rather than a flipped layout.
- State what is not covered
- The product says where its coverage ends — no PEP or adverse-media data, screening that is a check and not a clearance — in the places a user would otherwise assume otherwise.
- Decisions belong to people
- Every consequential action is taken and recorded by a named person in the customer's organisation. The software does not decide anything.

Frodiq supplies software to regulated firms. It is not itself a licensed financial institution, it carries on no regulated financial activity, and it is not approved, certified, endorsed, sponsored or procured by the Central Bank of Bahrain.
- Built in Bahrain for regulated firms
Designed and built here, for the rulebook that applies here — not a global product with a Bahrain toggle.
- Arabic and English across the product
Every surface exists in both languages and both themes, right-to-left as a genuine mirror rather than a flipped layout. Gates measure it on the rendered page, not in the string files.
- Monitor available today; Screen in controlled beta; Train in pilot
Monitor is available today. Screen is in controlled beta and Train is in pilot — both are usable and both are labelled that way here and inside the product. Assist is in development and is not in the module switch.
