We help protect investors from being misused by financial institutions, financial institutions from being misused by money launderers and terror financers, and the financial system from excessive risk-taking. There are 2 connected problems that we solve. They originate from the fact that financial institutions are required to adhere to strict regulations when onboarding clients. This makes the onboarding journey of a client slow and onerous, and causes many clients to abandon the onboarding process. We call this problem the "Consumer Compliance Conflict". The second problem is that this regulation also makes client onboarding complicated, costly, and prone to human error - and for that reason, many financial institutions simply don't comply, leaving investors and society open to fraud etc. We call this problem the "Cost of Compliance". We solved these two problems by automating the entire client onboarding journey. This makes the process fast and smooth for the client; and also a lot less expensive and complicated for the financial institution - and therefore the level of compliance, and as a result the levels of investor and society protection, significantly increase. It's a win-win-win situation. The investors get more protection; financial institutions get more protection and lower costs; and even compliance officers, which at first fear their jobs are endangered by automation, find out it only takes away the repetitive, error-prone parts, and frees them to do the more interesting parts of their role. We're VERY proud of our product, as it's the only one of its kind, and are thrilled to see our company grow at an amazing rate. We're passionate, highly skilled professionals, and we believe we are changing the world for the better.
