Global Data Consortium Partners with Boku to Bring Mobile Network Data to Compliant Customer Onboarding

By AIT News Desk On Jan 15, 2021

Boku Inc., the world’s leading provider of mobile payment and identity solutions, and Global Data Consortium (GDC), the industry leader in electronic identity verification, announced a new partnership to streamline AML and KYC compliant customer onboarding for billions of consumers.

The agreement integrates Boku’s mobile identity matching product into the GDC platform to verify consumers’ name, address, date of birth and mobile phone number as part of Know Your Customer (KYC) onboarding. Boku’s mobile network data is a unique addition that will fortify the electronic identity verification process at the time of account creation.

The enhanced product enables businesses to ensure new customer accounts are created in compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations and other compliance use cases without requiring the use of more expensive or cumbersome processes. Businesses can now feel confident that in addition to meeting compliance requirements, fraudsters will now face more roadblocks than ever before stealing or disrupting business for legitimate users.
