The demand for digital identities, Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) solutions are structurally growing in Europe, driven by increased regulation that is becoming more stringent. These solutions are primarily used to access online services, to sign documents electronically and to onboard customers. As companies face a more complicated regulatory environment, they require streamlined and simplified tools to support their processes.
Tommy Jarnemark, CEO of Verified commented: “We are eager to work alongside Verdane, a firm that has a strong track record scaling SaaS companies, to power our growth across Europe. We’re also looking forward to working with the fantastic team at Assently; as well as being a great fit with Verified, acquiring Assently helps us in our goal to become a ‘one stop shop’ full-service provider for customers’ AML and KYC needs.
