The digital economy has erased borders and opened the door for businesses to expand their reach globally.

But the benefits of expansion present new challenges. Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC) and other regulations vary by country, market and industry. There are different formats for names and addresses and different data sources for identity verification.

Managing the complexities of digital identity verification and keeping pace with shifting due diligence regulations around the world can be time-consuming and difficult for businesses.
