The United Kingdom is less than a month away from a major shift in how it handles director and beneficial owner identity verification. Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, new requirements will soon make it mandatory for company directors, Persons with Significant Control (PSCs), and anyone filing with Companies House to verify their identity. These changes aim to bring greater transparency to corporate structures and reduce the risk of fraud. They also introduce new pressures for compliance teams, legal advisers, and company secretaries—especially those still relying on outdated onboarding methods.
Who Must Verify
Starting in autumn 2025, the following individuals must complete identity verification:
All new and existing company directors
Persons with Significant Control (PSCs)
Individuals submitting filings on behalf of a UK-registered company
This applies to all companies, LLPs, and relevant legal entities registered with Companies House. Existing directors and PSCs will have a 12-month transition window. For new incorporations, identity verification must be completed before the appointment is confirmed.
How Identity Can Be Verified
There are three official routes for identity verification:
GOV.UK One Login This is the UK government’s centralised digital identity platform. Users scan an RFID-enabled document (such as a passport or biometric residence permit) and complete a face match using biometric liveness detection. However, this system has lost its DIATF certification and has raised concerns regarding centralised data storage, tracking, and security.
In-Person Verification at Post Office Branches An option for those who cannot complete digital verification. Requires manual face-to-face inspection of documents.
Via an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) Trusted firms such as law firms, accounting providers, and compliance vendors can verify identity on behalf of Companies House using approved methods.
iComply’s Verified and Audit-Ready Method iComply offers a decentralized, privacy-first alternative to One Login. Using a combination of advanced document authentication, active and passive liveness detection, and secure 3-dimensional biometric face matching – all processed on-device via edge computing. This method exceeds the technical standards required by Companies House and supports global onboarding with full audit trails, real-time risk screening, and integrated KYB workflows.
What Happens if You Don’t Comply
Failure to comply with the new identity verification obligations will prevent new appointments from being registered. Existing directors or PSCs who do not verify within the designated transition period may face legal and financial penalties. In some cases, this may also result in being barred from holding a directorship or filing on behalf of a UK company.
Beyond the legal risks, there are reputational implications for firms that cannot prove the integrity of their leadership or onboarding processes. As identity verification becomes the new foundation of trust in UK company law, firms that fall behind will find it harder to attract capital, open accounts, and retain credibility.
How to Prepare Your Business
If you’re onboarding new directors or updating company filings this summer, the time to act is now. Here’s how to get ahead:
Encourage early verification: Don’t wait for the deadline. Begin verifying existing directors and PSCs now through iComply or your preferred ACSP.
Modernize your process: If you’re still manually collecting ID documents by email or storing PDFs in shared drives, now is the time to upgrade to a platform with real-time audit logs and secure data handling.
Avoid relying on unproven systems: With One Login’s certification issues and surveillance concerns, companies should carefully evaluate what method aligns best with privacy obligations and risk posture.
Train your teams: Ensure legal, compliance, and onboarding personnel are briefed on the new requirements and understand how to trigger verification workflows in your internal systems.
Centralize KYB and KYC: Director verification doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Integrating this into a broader KYB process will improve efficiency, oversight, and your ability to handle future regulatory changes.
Why It Matters
Identity is more than a checkbox. For compliance teams and operations professionals, it’s the first gate of trust. Getting it right not only satisfies Companies House—it protects your business, your directors, and your clients from exposure, fraud, and reputational harm. These new requirements aren’t just about control. They’re about clarity. And clarity, when delivered through systems like iComply, means less friction, less stress, and fewer late-night compliance fire drills.
One Month Left
The countdown is on. In one month, director identity verification in the UK becomes mandatory. You can choose to rely on a centralized system or you can empower your firm with a trusted identity verification solution that puts security, privacy, and accountability at the core.

Canadian credit unions face increasing pressure to modernize KYC and AML practices while respecting member privacy and regional data laws. This article explores how edge computing and modular compliance solutions like iComply can help credit unions deliver secure, effective onboarding and continuous monitoring without driving up costs or complexity.
Credit unions play a vital role in Canada’s financial landscape, offering personalized, community-focused alternatives to large financial institutions. But they face the same or higher regulatory scrutiny as big banks when it comes to anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) compliance. As of 2025, that scrutiny is only growing, with increased audits, tighter expectations around beneficial ownership and transaction monitoring, and evolving guidance from FINTRAC and OSFI.
The challenge? Unlike the Big Five banks, most credit unions operate with lean compliance teams, modest IT budgets, and a strong cultural emphasis on privacy and trust. That makes the question of how to modernize KYC and AML workflows without compromising member experience – or exposing the organization to regulatory risk – more urgent than ever.
Why Now: The Shifting Regulatory Landscape
In 2024, FINTRAC signalled a shift toward more robust enforcement, especially targeting smaller financial institutions that rely heavily on manual processes or outdated vendor stacks. This trend is expected to continue in 2025 and beyond, with Canadian credit unions expected to:
Validate and periodically reverify natural person identity (members, directors, beneficial owners)
Maintain accurate KYB records for business accounts, including UBO checks
Perform risk-based AML screening and reporting
Comply with provincial privacy and data residency obligations
Adding to the complexity, credit unions in BC, Ontario, and Quebec must align with provincial regulatory bodies (like BCFSA) while also complying with federal AML obligations.
Key Compliance Challenges for Credit Unions
1. Manual Onboarding Processes
Most credit unions still rely on paper forms or fragmented digital intake processes that result in delays, errors, and member frustration.
2. Legacy Vendor Ecosystems
It’s not uncommon for credit unions to patch together four to six vendors for ID verification, AML screening, document collection, and reporting—creating siloed workflows and duplicated costs.
3. Data Privacy & Sovereignty Concerns
Many compliance tools rely on international cloud providers or offshore processors, making it difficult to meet Canadian data localization and privacy requirements.
4. Staff Bandwidth and Training
Lean compliance teams must juggle onboarding, investigations, reporting, and audits, leaving little time for process improvement or technology migration.
How iComply Solves These Problems
iComply’s platform was built with credit unions in mind—specifically their need for secure, efficient, and locally compliant solutions. Here’s how:
1. Edge-Based Identity Verification
iComply uses proprietary edge computing technology to process sensitive KYC data on the member’s device, not in the cloud. That means:
PII never leaves the device until it’s encrypted
Credit unions retain full control over where and how data is stored
Compliance with PIPEDA, BCFSA, and GDPR standards is built-in
2. Modular Platform with Full Coverage
Whether you need KYC for natural persons, KYB for business accounts, or full AML monitoring, iComply’s modules work independently or together to streamline your compliance lifecycle.
3. Automated Workflows and Triggers
Automate identity checks, document collection, and AML screening based on risk levels, client type, or regulatory timelines. Eliminate manual follow-ups while enhancing audit readiness.
4. Canadian Data Residency and Localization
Choose from deployment options that ensure your data stays in Canada, including on-premise or private cloud configurations tailored to provincial regulations.
5. White-Label Portals that Respect the Member Experience
Deliver a seamless digital onboarding experience with your brand front and centre—while ensuring security and compliance in the background.
Real-World Results
One Ontario-based credit union using iComply’s platform reduced average onboarding time from 45 minutes to under 8 minutes, while eliminating three third-party vendors from their stack. The result: improved compliance confidence, member satisfaction, and cost efficiency.
Another institution in British Columbia used iComply to automate UBO discovery and PEP screening for business accounts, significantly reducing staff hours spent on complex onboarding cases.
What to Watch in 2025
Provincial Regulator Expectations: BCFSA and FSRA are expected to release enhanced AML guidelines specific to credit unions, with more emphasis on continuous screening and data traceability.
E-Signature and ID Verification Standards: New frameworks for verifying digital identity and electronic consent may further accelerate the move away from paper-based compliance.
Cooperative AML Risk Pools: Some provinces are exploring shared-service models for smaller credit unions to pool compliance resources—modular platforms like iComply are well suited to support such models.
Take Action
Credit unions can no longer afford to delay modernization of their KYC and AML systems. The cost of non-compliance—financial, operational, reputational—is rising. But so is the opportunity to lead with a privacy-first, efficiency-driven approach that earns member trust and regulatory goodwill.

As regulatory scrutiny rises across the UK capital markets sector, firms must implement more robust AML screening protocols. This article explains the evolving expectations of the FCA and implications of MiCA for UK intermediaries, offering actionable insights on how iComply can help automate ongoing monitoring, meet PEP and sanctions requirements, and demonstrate audit-ready compliance.
Capital markets firms in the United Kingdom—from investment banks to securities dealers and private wealth managers—operate under one of the most stringent regulatory frameworks in the world. In 2025, this framework is expanding again, and firms face increased expectations for anti-money laundering (AML) screening, politically exposed person (PEP) monitoring, and transaction risk management.
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has made it clear: compliance isn’t just about onboarding—it’s about continuous monitoring, proactive alert management, and having defensible audit trails.
At the same time, the European Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), while not directly applicable in post-Brexit UK, is setting a high bar across the continent. UK regulators are watching closely and signalling similar expectations, particularly for firms interacting with cryptoassets, cross-border flows, and high-risk jurisdictions.
New AML Challenges for UK Capital Markets in 2025
1. Increased Regulatory Scrutiny The FCA’s updated financial crime guide and Dear CEO letters in 2024 emphasized that firms must:
Demonstrate effective AML policies in practice, not just on paper
Screen customers and counterparties against updated sanctions and PEP lists
Have systems in place for continuous monitoring and adverse media alerts
2. Cross-Border Exposure and MiCA Influence While MiCA is EU law, its implementation is reshaping expectations globally:
Crypto custody, exchange, and tokenization platforms must adopt bank-grade AML processes
UK firms with EU branches or EU clients must match or exceed MiCA standards
Regulatory equivalency will be increasingly important for cross-border capital flows
3. Data Management and Audit-ability Legacy systems often lack clear audit trails, slowing down internal reviews and exposing firms to enforcement risk.
What the FCA Expects
From 2025 onward, UK capital markets firms are expected to:
Conduct real-time sanctions screening across all client relationships
Implement PEP and adverse media monitoring for ongoing due diligence
Automate AML escalation and disposition processes
Maintain complete records of screening decisions and risk scoring logic
Firms that rely on outdated or manual processes will struggle to meet these expectations and may face increased supervisory pressure.
How iComply Helps Firms Stay Ahead
1. Real-Time Global Screening iComply integrates with leading global watchlists to screen entities and individuals for:
Sanctions (UN, OFSI, EU, US, etc.)
Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)
Adverse media and criminal proceedings
2. Risk-Based Workflow Automation Risk scoring and escalation logic can be customized per firm policy, allowing for:
Differentiated workflows by client type or geography
Automated alerts for matches, updates, or changes in status
3. Audit-Ready Reports and Logs All screening activity is logged with timestamps, actions taken, match details, and reviewer notes. These can be exported for internal audits, regulatory exams, or board reporting.
4. Flexible Integration and Deployment Whether firms prefer cloud, on-premise, or hybrid environments, iComply supports secure deployment with UK data residency options and edge encryption.
5. Consolidated Case Management Investigate alerts, assign actions, and document decisions in a unified AML dashboard—streamlining team workflows and reducing missed red flags.
Case Insight: Private Brokerage in London
A London-based investment firm implemented iComply’s AML screening and case management tools across its brokerage and custody divisions. Within 3 months:
Screening false positives dropped by 38%
Review time per flagged entity fell from 2 hours to 15 minutes
The firm passed its next FCA review with zero material findings
What to Watch in 2025
OFSI Sanctions List Expansions: New regimes tied to geopolitical risk will increase screening demands
Crypto-Market Intersections: UK regulators are expected to introduce MiCA-equivalent standards for crypto exchanges and custody providers
Supervisory Tech Expectations: The FCA is pushing for greater use of RegTech to support ongoing compliance
Take Action
Firms operating in UK capital markets can no longer rely on static screening or reactive compliance strategies. The cost of falling behind is not just reputational – it’s regulatory.

U.S. community banks are under pressure to improve KYB (Know Your Business) compliance for small business accounts, especially in light of evolving FinCEN and OCC guidelines. This article explores how KYB modernization using iComply can help banks uncover risk, automate beneficial ownership discovery, and streamline business account onboarding—without increasing compliance headcou
Community banks are the backbone of American Main Street. They finance local businesses, support job creation, and deliver personalized service in ways that larger institutions often can’t. But in 2025, these same banks face increasing pressure from regulators to modernize their approach to KYB—Know Your Business—especially when onboarding and monitoring small and medium-sized business (SMB) accounts.
The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), and updated FinCEN guidance are reshaping expectations around business verification, beneficial ownership identification, and AML due diligence. For community banks, this means a new era of regulatory scrutiny—with limited resources to meet it.
The Compliance Challenge
Unlike large banks with dedicated compliance divisions and automation budgets, most community banks operate with tight teams and resource constraints. Yet the burden of compliance is growing:
FinCEN’s Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Rule now requires detailed UBO disclosures from most business clients
OCC guidelines emphasize continuous monitoring and risk-based segmentation of commercial clients
SMB clients often have opaque structures—LLCs, trusts, layered ownership—that require more intensive due diligence
Without the right tools, community banks may face:
Slowed onboarding and increased abandonment
Gaps in beneficial ownership data
Difficulty proving compliance during audits
Higher costs and staff burnout
Where Traditional KYB Falls Short
Manual Processes: Many banks still rely on PDFs, in-branch document scans, or email back-and-forths to collect business documents and ownership information. This is time-consuming and error-prone.
Fragmented Vendor Stacks: It’s common to see a mishmash of ID verification tools, AML screeners, and reporting systems that don’t talk to each other.
Reactive Risk Management: Without automated triggers, compliance teams may only discover red flags during periodic reviews or when alerted by third parties.
How iComply Modernizes KYB
iComply’s modular platform enables community banks to take a smarter, proactive approach to KYB with tools designed for the complexity of modern SMB verification.
1. UBO Discovery & Corporate Structure Mapping
Automated workflows parse corporate filings, shareholder data, and registry sources to:
Identify direct and indirect beneficial owners
Connect ownership chains and nominee relationships
Flag high-risk jurisdictions and complex structures
2. Smart Document Collection
Customizable white-label portals guide businesses through document uploads (e.g., Articles of Incorporation, licenses, shareholder agreements) using a risk-based logic tree.
3. Ongoing Risk Monitoring
Integrate AML watchlists, PEP screening, and adverse media scanning into the KYB lifecycle. Set triggers based on changes in ownership, risk score, or business activity.
4. Edge Computing for Privacy Compliance
Sensitive data—like passports or ID documents of directors—is processed locally on the user’s device before encryption and transfer, supporting data sovereignty and reducing breach risk.
5. Ready-to-Audit Records
Every onboarding and refresh event is logged with full audit trails, timestamps, and linked source documents—streamlining exam prep and reducing regulatory friction.
Case Study: Midwestern Community Bank
A regional bank serving agricultural and construction businesses implemented iComply’s KYB module to address onboarding delays and incomplete BO data. The result:
Reduced average onboarding time from 5 days to less than 24 hours
Increased accuracy of UBO records by 60%
Passed a FinCEN audit with zero deficiencies
Regulatory Outlook for 2025
CTA Enforcement: As FinCEN begins enforcing penalties for BOI non-compliance, banks will need stronger controls to validate and monitor client-provided data.
OCC AML Exam Priorities: Community banks should expect increased examiner focus on KYB workflows, documentation, and UBO verification methods.
Technology Standards: There’s growing regulatory support for adopting centralized platforms that reduce fragmentation in compliance operations.
Recommendations
Community banks should:
Review and update KYB policies to reflect CTA and FinCEN rule changes
Replace manual and fragmented vendor processes with centralized, automated workflows
Prioritize edge-secure solutions that support privacy, security, and audit readiness

Why Centralized Systems Like Gov.UK’s One Login, India’s Aadhaar, and Singapore’s Singpass Raise Global Privacy Alarms
Centralized digital identity systems—such as the UK’s One Login, India’s Aadhaar, and Singapore’s Singpass—are facing mounting scrutiny over risks to user privacy, system security, and surveillance overreach. These platforms often rely on architectures that report back to central authorities every time an identity is used—a phenomenon now widely referred to as “ID phone home.” In contrast, privacy-first identity verification solutions like iComply enable secure, compliant onboarding while keeping individuals in control of their data.
Understanding the “ID Phone Home” Phenomenon
The term “ID phone home” describes a systemic flaw in many centralized identity verification solutions: every time you use your ID—whether to log in, verify age, or sign a contract—your interaction is logged and relayed back to a centralized server, often a government authority or state-approved vendor. Over time, these interactions form a persistent behavioural profile: where you were, what you accessed, when, and how often.
This model creates a digital paper trail of your identity across services, locations, and platforms—often without explicit consent or meaningful control. It shifts identity from something you own into something you borrow from a system that watches while you use it.
Global Case Studies: The Privacy Risks of Centralized Identity Systems
🇬🇧 United Kingdom: One Login’s Security Shortcomings
The UK government’s One Login platform was designed to streamline access to more than 50 public services with a single verified digital identity. But in May 2025, the platform lost its Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF) certification after its biometric vendor, iProov, failed to meet compliance standards.
This lapse followed a series of security warnings:
A red teaming exercise revealed that privileged system access could be compromised without triggering monitoring alerts.
One Login meets just 21 of 39 outcomes in the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC) Cyber Assessment Framework.
As of today, One Login remains uncertified, raising questions about its reliability as the government’s “gold standard” for digital ID.
Privacy advocates are particularly concerned that One Login enables real-time tracking of users whenever their ID is used to access services, submit filings, or verify identity—making it an archetype of the “ID phone home” problem.
🇮🇳 India: Aadhaar’s Surveillance Legacy
Aadhaar, the world’s largest biometric ID system, was rolled out to bring universal digital identity access to more than a billion people. But over the past decade, Aadhaar has been plagued by controversy:
Data breaches have exposed the personal information of millions, with unauthorized access being sold online for pennies.
The Supreme Court of India ruled that linking Aadhaar to every service, from SIM cards to bank accounts, posed an unacceptable risk of state surveillance.
India’s digital privacy laws remain fragmented, with weak enforcement mechanisms for data misuse.
Aadhaar is often cited by digital rights groups as a case study in how centralized digital identity, when deployed at scale, can unintentionally lead to systemic risk.
🇸🇬 Singapore: Singpass and Consent Concerns
Singpass, Singapore’s national digital identity platform, is widely used to access both government and commercial services. Its integration with facial recognition and passive verification has raised serious concerns:
Leaked Singpass credentials have been found on the dark web, increasing fraud and impersonation risks.
Critics argue that consent mechanisms are insufficient, as users are forced to interact with a platform that tracks behaviour but lacks transparent opt-outs.
Privacy International and other watchdogs warn that Singpass enables “continuous, ambient surveillance” across multiple service channels.
The Singpass model underscores the trade-off between convenience and control—one that many users may not fully understand until their data is compromised
mDLs: Mobile Convenience, Structural Risk
The rise of mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) has been positioned as the next leap in digital identity verification. Apple’s big announcement last week will allow users to store and present official ID from their phones. However, most mDL implementations rely on proprietary apps that phone home to validate identity with issuing authorities or third-party servers. Given Apple’s historical posture on privacy, it will be worth watching how the navigate the security concerns surrounding mDLs.
This means:
Each time you prove your age, sign a rental agreement, or board a flight, your identity data may be pinged and stored centrally.
Even metadata—such as location, timestamp, or IP address—can be enough to build a user profile.
Unlike a physical ID, most mDLs offer no real-time visibility into how, where, or when your identity is being logged.
In practice, mDLs risk turning your phone into a live identity beacon – with few safeguards and little recourse.
Take Action: No Phone Home Petition
A rapidly growing global movement call “No Phone Home” has raised concerns over surveillance risks and single points of failure/control within each of the above solutions. The truth of the matter is that “Phone Home” identity systems are built to protect the interests of the legacy verification service providers. As a signatory on the No Phone Home Petition, we invite you to also sign the petition by clicking here: https://nophonehome.com/
The Case for Decentralized, Privacy-First Identity Verification
Decentralizing the very act of ID verification and authentication avoids these pitfalls entirely. Instead of requiring cloud-based validation every time an ID is used, these systems process and encrypt sensitive data on the user’s device, using edge computing and zero-knowledge architecture.
Key Benefits of a Privacy-First Approach
User control: You decide who sees your data, for how long, and under what conditions.
No surveillance trail: No unnecessary data transmission to centralized servers.
Compliance without compromise: Fully meets emerging regulations such as the UK Companies House requirements for director identity verification, KYC, and KYB – without trading away privacy.
Audit-ready transparency: Every verification step is logged locally and reportable without exposing the user.
Why iComply Stands Apart
At iComply, we don’t believe trust should be demanded—it should be earned. Our identity verification solution is purpose-built to comply with the UK’s 2025 Companies House reforms, support global KYC/KYB workflows, and protect the one thing no regulation can replace: your identity.
We process:
Document authentication with template matching, OCR extraction, and full spectrum security feature review
Concurrent biometric face match (powered by secure, AI-powered, 3D video sessions)
Hybrid (active and passive) liveness detection
Capturing clear, informed, and revocable consent
All without phoning home or compromising your client’s trust, privacy, or security.
Own Your Identity, Don’t Lease It
The digital identity systems of 2025 are a fork in the road. One path leads to more centralized control, less transparency, and growing behavioural surveillance – and potential for severe government overreach.
The other leads to dignity, discretion, and individual sovereignty.
With iComply, your customer’s identity is more protected than any API or “App-store” based solution can ever deliver.
Start your free trial. Stay compliant. Stay in control.
When it comes to compliance, decentralization is changing the game. As regulations tighten and cyber threats grow, financial institutions are turning to innovations like edge computing, self-sovereign digital identity (SSI), and AI-powered transaction monitoring with blockchain-secured logs to protect sensitive data and streamline KYC, KYB, and AML processes.
These technologies make compliance not only stronger but smarter—here’s how they’re reshaping the future of risk management.
1. Edge Computing: Secure Data at the Source
Traditional compliance systems transmit customer data to multiple cloud servers and subprocessors—introducing risks along the way.
Edge computing eliminates those vulnerabilities by encrypting and verifying data directly on the user’s device or at a local edge node before it’s ever transmitted. This means:
Minimal data exposure: Sensitive information never travels further than it needs to.
Faster processing: Verification happens in real-time, cutting down delays in customer onboarding.
Built-in compliance: Local data processing aligns with regulations like GDPR and CCPA by keeping data within jurisdictional boundaries.
2. Self-Sovereign Digital Identity: Empowering Customers and Reducing Risk
SSI puts customers in control of their own verified identity data. Instead of handing over unnecessary personal information during onboarding, customers share only what’s needed through secure, verifiable credentials.
For compliance teams, this means:
Less liability: No need to store excessive customer data, reducing your exposure in the event of a breach.
Enhanced verification: SSI credentials are cryptographically secure and harder to forge.
Better customer experience: Clients appreciate the transparency and convenience of sharing verified information without repeated forms or unnecessary data requests.
3. AI-Powered Transaction Monitoring and Blockchain-Secured Logs
Blockchain-secured transaction logs provide an immutable, transparent record of transactions, while AI-powered monitoring enhances fraud detection. Instead of static or batch reviews, AI scans blockchain-based records in real-time to:
Identify complex transaction patterns that signal money laundering.
Flag connections to sanctioned individuals or flagged entities.
Analyze historical and current data simultaneously to detect trends, not just single red flags.
The combination of blockchain’s tamper-proof nature and AI’s processing power strengthens audit trails and improves AML screening accuracy without increasing manual workloads.
The Decentralized Advantage
Edge computing ensures that data stays local. SSI reduces your liability footprint by decentralizing identity control. AI-powered monitoring transforms static reports into proactive, real-time risk detection. Together, these innovations make compliance faster, more secure, and more customer-friendly—without compromising on privacy or performance.
Decentralization isn’t just the future of compliance—it’s happening now. With iComply’s platform, you can embrace these innovations to strengthen your KYC, KYB, and AML processes. Let’s lead the way to a more secure, decentralized future.
