RegTech AML solutions provider, Kompli-Global has announced a partnership with Yoti, a digital identity and credential management platform in a bid to boost its fight against fraudsters and money launderers. Yoti offers verification services and conducts authentications through a selfie.

Kompli-Global CEO, Jane Jee, said, “Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing criminal activities, so it is vital to be able to verify that potential new clients are who they say they are. Being able to offer Yoti’s innovative proof of identity and verification system is excellent news for our new platform but extremely bad news for fraudsters and money launderers. The way it should be.”

Kompli-Global states that Yoti will verify the identity of each individual, authenticate a trusted identity document and verify the individual it belongs to. The system will then check the integrity of the security features on the document for authenticity and expiration date. Finally, Kompli-Global will save the image of the ID document as well as the selfie for future remediation purpose. Yoti is the latest addition to the company’s Kompli-QED remote corporate platform.

Kompli-QED can perform other checks including identity verification, age and mortality, identity document authentication, digital image and video capture, flag and alert risk indicators, secure document and file transfer and more. The platform is also capable of incorporating its existing Kompli-IQ and IQ plus for performing real-time searches of the web, deep web and global government, regulatory and institutional databases. This is expected to identify any adverse information on new and existing customers that could link them with financial crime.

Gareth Narinesingh, Commercial Director – Financial Services at Yoti, said, “We’re thrilled to partner with Kompli-Global who share our passion and commitment to tackling fraud. We combine robust security with a privacy-preserving approach to personal data, which makes Yoti the perfect partner for businesses seeking results and regulatory compliance.”

Recently, Kompli-Global and ComplyAdvantage announced their partnership intending to combat fraud and money laundering.

Jane Jee added, “Yoti shares our approach of employing leading-edge RegTech, letting augmented intelligence do the heavy lifting and using human expertise at the right time. Criminals and money launderers are not slow to use technology to steal or create fake identities. Our partnership is an illustration of how technology is now working against them, which has to be good news.”
