Success Stories

How we helped our clients unlock their potential

  • KYC project for a tier-1 bank

    The project addressed both mandatory regulatory requirements and the reduction of reputational risks for the bank. The client decreased onboarding time by up to 70% and eliminated a significant amount of manual work. The solution was integrated via API with the bank’s systems to support the onboarding of all new customers.

How does KYC work?

Main features

KYC More includes an embedded workflow engine that allows workloads to be assigned across different teams and to manage hierarchal authorization.

The built-in decision engine allows the definition of processes and rules based on parameters and the client’s internal policies, such as customer type, country, additional risk factors, etc.

KYC More provides an aggregate AML and reputational risk score based on a broad set of information and indicators, enabling the definition of risk thresholds and providing evidence of cases that require further investigation.

All actions and documentation retrieval are tracked and time-stamped in KYC More to allow auditing by regulators and internal accountability.

KYC More supports the uploading of first-party documents and customer-provided information, available for onboarding decisions and later review.
KYC More is available via web interface (webUI), API, and bulk upload, with different available features.
WebUI users can access a comprehensive set of features including workflow management, decision-making tools, and user-friendly working environment.
API users can seamlessly integrate KYC More data into their internal systems, enabling automated data ingestion and updates.
