The challenge

Move fast — but stay compliant.

REGULATION

Tightening rules

VARA, MiCA, FATF and the Travel Rule now expect exchanges and wallets to verify users and counterparties — not just collect an email.

FRAUD

Sophisticated fraud

Synthetic identities, deepfakes and account-takeover attempts target crypto platforms harder than almost anywhere.

CONVERSION

Conversion-sensitive users

Crypto users abandon slow KYC instantly — a clunky flow sends them straight to a competitor.

How it works

One flow, end to end.

01

Sign up

A new user starts onboarding on your exchange, wallet or on-ramp.

02

Verify

ID, liveness and face match confirm a real, unique person.

03

Screen

Sanctions, PEP and watchlist screening with ongoing monitoring.

04

Enable

Approve trading or withdrawals instantly, with a full audit trail.
