Streamlining Compliance: How One Fintech Consolidated 8+ Vendors with iComply

by Jan 7, 2025

Meet Eric—a compliance manager at a Nasdaq-listed fintech managing billions of dollars in transactions annually. With growth came complexity, and Eric’s compliance operations were tangled in a web of third-party tools.

For every KYC, KYB, and AML task, there was a separate vendor:

  1. KYC identity verification platform.
  2. KYB corporate document collection.
  3. Sanctions and PEP screening.
  4. Adverse media monitoring.
  5. Passport and ID authentication.
  6. Biometric identity access management.
  7. An audit trail and reporting system.
  8. API integrations to stitch it all together.
  9. Secure document collection for corporate accounts.

The result? Nine disconnected silos, growing costs, and a frustrated team. Manual case management and their homegrown transaction monitoring system only added to the inefficiencies. Eric knew they needed a change—and fast.

The Challenge: A Disjointed Compliance Stack

Every customer onboarding journey felt like running a relay race between platforms. Each handoff slowed down processes, increased the risk of errors, and frustrated internal teams. Regulatory audits became chaotic as reports had to be cobbled together from multiple systems.

Eric’s team spent more time navigating software than assessing actual compliance risks. Meanwhile, costs ballooned as vendor licenses stacked up.

The Solution: iComply’s End-to-End Platform

Eric found iComply—a modular, all-in-one platform for KYC, KYB, and AML that integrated seamlessly with their existing systems. With iComply, Eric’s team consolidated nine compliance vendors into just three core systems:

  1. iComply’s Platform for KYC, KYB, AML, and case management.
  2. Their in-house transaction monitoring system.
  3. A CRM for client relationship management.

Everything else? Eliminated.

  2. Cost Savings: Consolidating vendors significantly reduced licensing fees, integration costs, and maintenance overhead.
  3. Faster Onboarding: Automated document authentication, PEP and sanctions screening, and real-time biometric checks cut onboarding time from days to minutes.
