Inside the January Report
  • Financial services firms generate most of their revenue through digital channels, yet inconsistent KYC and KYB results are creating onboarding delays, customer drop-offs and operational strain.
  • More than three-quarters of firms report missed expansion opportunities, with identity breakdowns contributing to billions of dollars in annual revenue losses across the industry.
  • Most institutions rate their current verification tools as adequate or better, even though firms using more advanced global platforms report smoother verification and fewer long-term challenges.
