The very best audit-ready, regulation-compliant KYB/AML customer due diligence needs two things working together: trusted, accurate, timely global business verification data, and the right SaaS platform to act on it in real time.
That is exactly what this partnership brings together.
Worldbox Business Intelligence, headquartered in Switzerland and trusted globally for standardised, API-first company data, operates one of the largest global business databases in the world, covering over 500 million business entities across 243 countries. Worldbox can now provide the cross-border data enabling customer due diligence within Simple KYC’s verification and decisioning platform, along with an international "as filed" registry document service delivering original PDF filings
For Simple KYC's clients across financial services, government, and multinational sectors, this means faster, more complete, access to global verified business data, including Financial Crime (UBO) analysis, company risk assessments, credit and resilience risk scoring, enhanced due diligence (EDD), PEPs, sanctions, and adverse media screening. All of this is delivered through the same automated, full customer lifecycle workflow that has already helped major banks achieve over 50% straight-through processing on business onboarding.
The combined, complementary strengths of Worldbox and Simple KYC allow clients to manage their entire customer portfolio, from onboarding through ongoing relationship verification, using Simple KYC's digital intelligent process automation alongside Worldbox's global business database. This joining of forces, delivered through a single managed, automated workflow, allows clients to make rapid, responsible customer relationship decisions, now backed by access to global business verification checks, risk assessments, credit histories, financial crime analysis with ultimate beneficial ownership, and watch list screening checks.
Adrian Ashurst, CEO and Founder of Worldbox Business Intelligence, commented: "Global cross-border data is a game changer given the ever-increasing complexity of managing an international client portfolio. Our partnership with Simple KYC will allow clients to quickly conduct company due diligence checks to identify and verify any business, anywhere in the world, all available within Simple KYC's market-leading customer onboarding lifecycle software."
Neil Smith, CEO of Simple KYC, added: "We are excited to be working with Worldbox Business Intelligence to provide a truly global business dataset. Through the Simple KYC software, we can now offer super-fast access to official, global registry-sourced business data, enabling accurate verification and discovery of shareholders, directors, UBOs, and other key financial crime data points. This empowers our clients to make the very best onboarding decisions, while remaining compliant with the regulator."
