Customer and document verification processes are outdated, manual and overly complex

Time-consuming

Onboarding and risk assessment tend to be manual and involve multiple stakeholders, data sources, and systems.

In financial services, typically 40% of onboarding time is spent on customer due diligence.

Costly

Implementing, maintaining and orchestrating data sources and providers requires considerable resources, technologies and personnel.

This results in manual processes, unnecessary operational costs and increasing technical debt all whilst increasing friction with customers.

Prone to error

Customer verification requires complex reconciliation across multiple data sources to ensure information is accurate and up-to-date.

Manual processes are prone to error, leading to missed opportunities and costly mistakes.

At Sikoia, we want to change this​
