Why choose identity verification from LexisNexis Risk Solutions?
Streamlining KYC and AML processes
“IDU provides us with an ability to electronically verify customer’s identities and addresses at the onboarding stage. Importantly, it also provides us with the ability to electronically identify any changes, which reduces the likelihood of losing touch with our customers.”
Merlyn Thomas, Head of Risk and Compliance
Reliance Bank
95% pass first time
“We now have a 95% first-time pass rate, and that is testament to the quality of data. Using IDU has helped to reduce the number of man hours spent on KYC by two to three hours.”
Abbas Kanani, Director and Pharmacist
Chemist Click
97% pass first time
