Veremark acquires RMI to power Singapore’s government and academic screening

Veremark, a global workplace trust company, has acquired background verification company Risk Management Intelligence (RMI), strengthening its footprint in Singapore and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

The deal brings RMI’s 70 specialists into Veremark and deepens partnerships with key Singapore institutions, including the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA), and Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

Founded in 2012 by recruitment veteran Matthew Beath, RMI delivers background screening services across Asia-Pacific, working closely with university registrars, student and employment record teams, and local business registration authorities. The firm leverages public records, sanctions databases, and watchlists to provide end-to-end verification.

The acquisition follows Veremark’s $26 million Series B funding round and its earlier purchase of Agenda Screening Services, signalling an accelerated global expansion strategy.

Veremark said the move will enhance its screening capabilities in Singapore, including government visa checks, while enabling organisations to access compliant, end-to-end screening solutions across the region.

Daniel Callaghan, CEO and co-founder of Veremark, said the acquisition strengthens the company’s international capabilities and supports its ambition to scale background screening for employers worldwide.

Mervyn Ho, general manager of RMI, added that operations for customers and partners will continue as usual, noting that the partnership is expected to broaden RMI’s capabilities and global reach.
