Exceed customer expectations with automated identity verification and KYC compliance

Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures are crucial for commercial and investment banks to assess customer risk accurately and prevent financial crime. Without the right technology, these processes can become burdensome, leading to inefficiencies and regulatory risks.

The Encompass corporate digital identity (CDI) platform revolutionizes KYC compliance through advanced automation across the customer lifecycle. Our powerful technology streamlines ongoing monitoring and strengthens KYC, Customer Identification Programs (CIP), Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance programs. We collate public data and documents with private customer information to deliver a single source of truth that empowers banks to navigate regulatory landscapes with ease.

We understand your challenges in commercial banking

  • Customer satisfaction is falling behind the competition

    Commercial customers increasingly expect seamless, automated self-service journeys. To remain competitive, offering a predictable, self-service onboarding process is crucial.

  • Manual, time-consuming KYC means teams can’t keep up with high volumes of requests

    Manual, time-consuming KYC processes create bottlenecks, delays and internal friction as teams struggle to handle high volumes of requests efficiently while meeting stringent KYC requirements. These inefficiencies can expose financial institutions to regulatory risks due to human errors and incomplete KYC and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) investigations.

  • High abandonment rates and lost revenue

    The highly competitive nature of the commercial banking sector means many customers apply to multiple banks at once, which leads to high abandonment rates and significant losses in potential revenue.

  • Exposure to regulatory risk

    Due to highly manual processes, too many human errors and inconsistencies occur, KYC investigations are often incomplete and require rework, and audit issues are raised due to missing documentation. This puts the organization at risk of fines and reputational damage, impacting overall risk management strategies.
