Industry challenges

High growth shouldn’t mean high risk

It’s tough to keep a user-experience edge in banking. Digital transformation has swept the industry — which means best-in-class digital experiences are table stakes, especially at onboarding. But at the same time, KYC and compliance are non-negotiable, and identity fraud is getting smarter. You need a scalable way to know your customer in seconds, without relying on manual processes.
