Veremark acquires Singapore-based Risk Management Intelligence to strengthen Asia-Pacific presence
Singapore, 26 February 2026: Veremark, the global workplace trust company, has acquired Singapore-based Risk Management Intelligence (RMI), a background verification company, as part of its international expansion strategy.
This acquisition expands Veremark’s Asia-Pacific operations, bringing RMI’s team of 70 specialists into the business and strengthening partnerships with key regional institutions including Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower (MOM), Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA), and Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
Founded in 2012 by Recruitment industry veteran Matthew Beath, RMI offers a highly personalised and comprehensive background screening service for APAC and beyond, with a focus on high touch candidate and client experience. The company works closely with university registrars, student and employment record teams, and local business registration authorities, using public records, global sanctions, enforcement and watchlists to provide the most accurate and comprehensive screenings.
Daniel Callaghan, CEO and Co-Founder of Veremark, said: “As global hiring and workforce mobility continue to accelerate, the capabilities and reach of background screening need to stay one step ahead. RMI’s regional expertise and partnerships with key government and educational institutions allow us to strengthen our international capabilities and double down on our workplace trust offerings. Together, we can ensure that employers can implement thorough background screening at scale anywhere in the world”
The acquisition follows Veremark’s recent $26 million Series B funding round and its acquisition of Agenda Screening Services, a specialist background screening firm. This latest investment in RMI strengthens Veremark’s screening capabilities in the region, expanding its expertise in government visa checks for the Singapore market while providing organisations with access to fully compliant, end-to-end screening solutions across the region.
Mervyn Ho, General Manager of Risk Management Intelligence, said: “Veremark is the perfect fit for our next chapter. For our customers and partners, business will continue as usual, and with the backing of Veremark, we can enhance our capabilities and global offering. We are excited about this next era for RMI.”

FAQs
This depends on the industry and type of role you are recruiting for. To determine whether you need reference checks, identity checks, bankruptcy checks, civil background checks, credit checks for employment or any of the other background checks we offer, chat to our team of dedicated account managers.
Many industries have compliance-related employment check requirements. And even if your industry doesn’t, remember that your staff have access to assets and data that must be protected. When you employ a new staff member you need to be certain that they have the best interests of your business at heart. Carrying out comprehensive background checking helps mitigate risk and ensures a safer hiring decision.
Again, this depends on the type of checks you need. Simple identity checks can be carried out in as little as a few hours but a worldwide criminal background check for instance might take several weeks. A simple pre-employment check package takes around a week. Our account managers are specialists and can provide detailed information into which checks you need and how long they will take.
All Veremark checks are carried out online and digitally. This eliminates the need to collect, store and manage paper documents and information making the process faster, more efficient and ensures complete safety of candidate data and documents.
In a competitive marketplace, making the right hiring decisions is key to the success of your company. Employment background checks enables you to understand more about your candidates before making crucial decisions which can have either beneficial or catastrophic effects on your business.
Background checks not only provide useful insights into a candidate’s work history, skills and education, but they can also offer richer detail into someone’s personality and character traits. This gives you a huge advantage when considering who to hire. Background checking also ensures that candidates are legally allowed to carry out certain roles, failed criminal and credit checks could prevent them from working with vulnerable people or in a financial function.
