The Challenge
CoinPayments faced a crucial challenge that demanded an innovative solution. The challenge revolved around the intricate process of onboarding merchants while simultaneously upholding stringent compliance measures mandated by the regulatory landscape. This complex dance of acquiring comprehensive merchant information and ensuring their legitimacy was burdened with operational complexities, particularly given the high number of monthly onboarding requests, totalling 1,000 per month.
This high number of onboarding requests presented the team at CoinPayments with a significant operational challenge. CoinPayments needed a solution that would not only streamline these processes but also maintain operational efficiency without compromising on compliance integrity.
Operating across diverse sectors, including iGaming and Forex, CoinPayments had a vested interest in safeguarding its reputation and financial ecosystem from potentially fraudulent activities, money laundering, and other illicit transactions. As the stakes were high, the company recognised the urgency of addressing these issues to maintain market credibility and regulatory adherence.
CoinPayment's Requirements
- Market-leading compliance solution: The challenges CoinPayments faced in terms of compliance were multifaceted. As a player in the cryptocurrency payment industry, the company needed a compliance solution that was not just adequate, but market-leading. The solution had to provide robust compliance checks, including sanctions screening and comprehensive due diligence, ensuring the organisation’s adherence to regulatory standards.
- Ease of use for CoinPayments’ clients: CoinPayments recognised the importance of providing an easy and convenient experience for their clients during the onboarding process. The complexities of information gathering and verification had previously created friction in this process. Therefore, the chosen solution needed to be user-friendly, allowing clients to provide the required information seamlessly.
- Ease of use for CoinPayments’ compliance team: In addition to client ease of use, CoinPayments also considered the user experience for their Compliance team. The manual tasks involved in verifying merchant information had previously proven to be intricate and time-consuming. A user-friendly interface that simplified these tasks was a critical requirement, allowing the Compliance team to work efficiently and effectively.
- Easy deployment of software: CoinPayments valued a seamless integration process for the chosen solution.
