Thomson Reuters Marketplace Selects iComply as a KYB, KYC, and AML Partner

Thomson Reuters Marketplace Selects iComply as a KYB, KYC, and AML Partner

New Thomson Reuters Marketplace Selects iComplyKYC as a Digital Identity and KYC Partner

Thomson Reuters has launched its Marketplace, featuring a curated selection of software solutions for law firms, corporate law offices, and tax and accounting professionals

Vancouver, B.C. – April 27, 2021 – iComply Investor Services (“iComply”), a global compliance software provider, is announcing that the company has partnered with Thomson Reuters to distribute its iComplyKYC platform through the Thomson Reuters Marketplace. 

iComplyKYC gives businesses access to a turnkey, world-class know your customer (KYC), anti-money laundering (AML), and identity access management (IAM) solution that can be quickly embedded into any digital experience. 

The Thomson Reuters Marketplace is an online store that showcases a wide range of solutions offered by Thomson Reuters, as well as its trusted and tested vendors such as iComply. 

“With the pandemic driving business more online, financial processes that used to require face-to-face interaction are becoming digital,” said Matthew Unger, CEO of iComply. “The internet was developed to transfer information and so the policies of user identification and identity access management have followed internet industry standards. As more banks digitize, new fintechs emerge, and major tech companies enter financial services, these internet standards fall short of the regulatory requirements. iComplyKYC solves this by combining “banking grade” KYC portals with your existing identity access management, single sign-on, or digital identity management solutions.”

Existing digital solutions force users to submit their most personal details into a web form for user identification or authentication, with API-based solutions relaying this information to third-party data processors and sub-processors that are often international and could retain control of the data. Other existing alternatives to these API-based solutions require significant resources to implement and maintain, such as custom software development.

“iComplyKYC helps businesses securely and digitally collect, verify, screen, and maintain data and documents for both natural persons and legal entities,” said Matthew Unger, CEO of iComply Investor Services.

“Unlike existing digital KYC solutions, the platform uses edge computing and artificial intelligence to process sensitive user data locally, before it leaves the user’s device, which helps organizations comply with local data privacy laws across jurisdictions.”

iComplyKYC is a next-generation, web3 ready, KYC solution that is built from the ground up to support true data privacy and can be deployed within minutes. All of this is designed to save clients money on implementation and ongoing maintenance while allowing operations teams to gain a 360-degree view of identity resolution, KYC and AML compliance, and ongoing access management.

iComply Launches Digital Compliance Administration Platform for $181 Billion KYC and AML Market

iComply Launches Digital Compliance Administration Platform for the $181 Billion KYC and AML market

The updated iComplyKYC platform leverages edge computing and AI to support onboarding and identify verification for legal entities and natural persons

Vancouver, B.C. – December 15, 2020 – iComply Investor Services (“iComply”), a global compliance software provider, is announcing that it is launching an updated version of its iComplyKYC platform for digital compliance administration that now supports the onboarding and authentication of legal entities and natural persons as a part of its all-in-one compliance solution.

Unlike existing electronic identification (e-ID) solutions that require tools from multiple vendors and manual processing for B2C and B2B customer due diligence, iComplyKYC offers a standalone system to manage the full lifecycle of KYC and AML administration for each client.

Globally, AML spend by financial services providers grew to over $181B USD a year in 2019, according to a 2020 report from Compliance Week.

“The latest directives from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) have broadened AML requirements to include law firms, accounting, eCommerce, luxury sales and M&A transactions,” said Matthew Unger, CEO of iComply. “Further, new requirements for work-from-home have complicated the day-to-day compliance operations of most of the market, and ‘digital first’ is no longer a nice-to-have, but a necessity.”

Remote workforces and lockdowns have forced businesses to implement digital solutions for client onboarding, identification, and AML risk management.  iComplyKYC can service law firms, accounting firms, eCommerce platforms, mortgage brokers, and other industries regulated by the AML-5 directive. iComply estimates the global AML spend will exceed $300B USD by 2022.

The platform leverages edge computing for GDPR, PIPA, PPIA, and CCPA risk management. This means that the updated iComplyKYC platform enables companies to gather, authenticate, and encrypt user data via dynamic KYC Portals before that data leaves the user’s device. 

KYC services on the platform also include AI-enabled identity verification, biometric authentication, DUNS, and GLEI validation, supporting document workflows, and AML screening across 150 million daily sources. Compliance teams can access all results in a single dashboard to make better decisions, quickly manage issues, and generate reports.

“Integrating edge computing and artificial intelligence into the KYC portal reduces the total cost of compliance and improves user privacy, cybersecurity, and straight-through processing capabilities,” added Unger. “Businesses can no longer afford to mess with half a dozen onboarding tools and APIS, the market needs a banking grade digital identity and risk management solution that can be set up in hours.”

iComply Investor Services Inc. (“iComply”) is a Regtech company that provides fully-digital KYC and AML compliance solutions for non-face-to-face financial and legal interactions. iComply enables financial services providers to reduce costs, risk, and complexity and improve staff capacity, effectiveness, and customer experience.
