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.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
