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

The deal adds 70 specialists and secures partnerships with MOM, ECDA, and NTU.

Background verification company Risk Management Intelligence (RMI) has been acquired by global workplace trust firm Veremark as part of its international expansion, the companies said on 26 February 2026.

The acquisition brings RMI’s team of 70 specialists into Veremark and strengthens partnerships with Singapore institutions including the Ministry of Manpower, the Early Childhood Development Agency, and Nanyang Technological University.

Founded in 2012 by recruitment veteran Matthew Beath, RMI provides background screening across the Asia-Pacific region, working with university registrars, student and employment record teams, and local business registration authorities.

The company uses public records, sanctions and watchlists to provide comprehensive verification services.

The deal also follows Veremark’s $26m Series B funding round and its acquisition of Agenda Screening Services, a specialist background screening firm.

Veremark said the investment will expand its screening capabilities in Singapore, including government visa checks, and provide organisations with compliant end-to-end screening solutions across the region.

Daniel Callaghan, CEO and co-founder of Veremark, said the acquisition allows the company to strengthen its international capabilities and scale background screening for employers worldwide.

Mervyn Ho, general manager of RMI, said operations for customers and partners would continue as usual and that the partnership would enhance the company’s capabilities and global offering.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
