Crypto Platform Keeps Bad Actors Out While Offering World-Class Onboarding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bitbuy, one of Canada\u2019s fastest growing crypto platforms, faced the hurdle of providing the best possible digital experience for customers while complying with evolving regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulations, administered by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) for virtual currency dealers, involve requirements around Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe strive to provide a fully digital experience that is safe, convenient and offers minimal friction while users onboard onto the Bitbuy platform,\u201d Michael Arbus said during his tenure as Bitbuy CEO. \u201cAt the same time, we ensure this process complies with all the strict regulations for KYC and KYB<\/a> administered by FINTRAC, while keeping up with all the ongoing regulatory updates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitbuy, since 2020, has been registered as a dealer in virtual currencies with FINTRAC. Prior to that, the company voluntarily adhered to guidelines and regulations by observing the initiatives fintech companies outside of crypto followed for compliance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering the global surge in digital decentralized virtual currencies, regulators around the world have pushed for crypto platforms to take steps to detect and deter money laundering, terrorism financing and other financial crimes. In light of that, Bitbuy partnered with Trulioo to remain compliant and establish stringent identity verification by automating manual processes and defending against fraud during onboarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen navigating a new industry like crypto,\u201d Arbus said, \u201cwhere there are still so many unknowns and risks, it\u2019s crucial to rely on the best solution in the market, and we felt that Trulioo was the best choice for Bitbuy\u2019s identity verification process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verifying People<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trulioo is a key component of Bitbuy\u2019s onboarding process. Once customers have verified their email address, they provide further information, which is verified through Trulioo Person Match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are then three basic phases to verify a customer\u2019s identity to a level that satisfies Bitbuy\u2019s best practices for compliance. Upon final verification, customers may open an account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, if the identity information failed the initial verification check, Bitbuy would manually review additional information, such as ID documents or a utility bill. Through Trulioo, though, much of the manual verification is reduced, allowing Bitbuy\u2019s customer success teams to focus on improving other areas of the business and improve the customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verifying Organizations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bitbuy customers can fund, trade and hold assets in either personal or business accounts, and Trulioo has been instrumental in the successful roll-out of the exchange\u2019s corporate verification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitbuy uses Trulioo Business Verification services to ensure corporate accounts are verified and compliant. Those services help Bitbuy verify data points such as business registration documentation, Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO), business name, address and jurisdiction of incorporation to ensure the business profiles meet regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitbuy is increasing its focus on those accounts and striving for a high rate of business verification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our primary growth area for clients,\u201d Arbus said, \u201cand we anticipate it becoming really important to verify as many as possible in a compliant way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High Onboarding Rates for People and Businesses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bitbuy\u2019s partnership with Trulioo allows the platform to take a risk-based approach for identity verification during onboarding. That approach enables Bitbuy to adjust the level of verification to match the risk associated with a client or transaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Trulioo identifies inconsistencies through cross-referencing more than 450 global data sources, they can be flagged for Bitbuy\u2019s compliance and review teams for further due diligence. That allows Bitbuy\u2019s compliance efforts to be more thorough and focused on specific areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That has improved Bitbuy\u2019s efficiency, approval times and client satisfaction. Using a risk-based layered approach to identity verification has helped prevent fraud and ensure compliance while building trust and confidence among users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Successfully managing a regulated crypto platform means running efficient and accurate identity verification from the start of the customer journey. Since Bitbuy integrated Trulioo into the platform, alongside other tools to improve accuracy and efficiency, the match rate for applicants has increased substantially, and the time it takes to complete the process has fallen significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
