- What can you tell us about your company and your products & services?
Our company is focused on delivering business benefit through automation of processes. We focus mainly on AML and due diligence services. Our flagship product is KYC Portal and has become the main focus of the entire team.
- How did you come up with the idea and what drives you?
Client feedback drives us as a business development team and also our dev teams. The reaction we get on demos and at conferences is one of the biggest rewards. The idea had stemmed from a client of ours within the financial industry. He had approached us just before the 4th AML directive was imposed (it was still in draft back then) and had said a comment in passing that we should look into creating something that automated the obligation as it would be a nightmare to manage manually.
- What is it that makes your company different from others?
KYC Portal is the only tool that gives full control to the client in managing and creating due diligence processes from scratch. Allowing them to be able to tweak the full regulatory process based on market happenings and regulation changes. Without the need to get into costly development exercises, KYC Portal allows for such changes, instantly reflecting into a real time view across the data.
