Finance automation

KYC Verification

Collects ID documents, selfies and proof of address digitally, verifies them with OCR and biometric checks, screens against watchlists and routes uncertain cases to a compliance officer.

The business problem

Manual KYC checks are slow and costly, and they frustrate new customers during onboarding. Inconsistent reviews increase compliance and fraud risk. Records are hard to retrieve for audits.

The manual process today

Where the time goes before automation:

  1. Ask customers to send ID copies by email
  2. Check documents visually
  3. Search sanctions lists manually
  4. Store copies in shared folders
