Rock Stable Unveils its Integration of Shufti Pro’s IDV Solutions | A Strategic Move to Prevent Crypto Fraud

Initially Published on PR Log 

London, UK – March 13, 2023 – Rock Stable, a company that introduced its stablecoin known as ROKS in the world of crypto, announces its partnership with Shufti Pro to strengthen its identity verification system along with successful compliance with KYC & AML regulations. 

Rock Stable is a cross-border money transfer company that allows recipients to receive a USD-equivalent stablecoin directly into their virtual wallets. Recipients who prefer to receive USD rather than local currency can do so via stablecoin ROKS that can be converted to local currency at the tap of a button on the wallet app at any time. Local currency can then be picked up from a pawnshop, deposited either into e-wallets, or deposited into a bank account. 

Although crypto has become part of the mainstream, it is still accompanied by many risks, such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and identity theft. To detect such criminal acts beforehand, RockStable has partnered up with Shufti Pro to utilise its IDV solutions to combat these threats.

Shufti Pro, one of the leading identity verification solution providers, has been serving companies operating in various industries since it was established in 2017. From preventing financial crimes to providing companies with useful strategies to comply with global KYC, KYB, AML, and CDD regulations, Shufti Pro has got everything an organisation would need to solidify its IDV procedures. 

Carlos Tapang, the CEO of Rock Stable shared his views on the partnership by saying “Cryptocurrency is currently a tough business to be in, but we see recent events as part of the “cleansing phase” within the overall process of cryptocurrency adoption. There is room for decentralised finance (DeFi), but there is also room for compliance. The world cannot switch over in one fell swoop because nature does not like discontinuities. We at Rock Stable straddle between DeFi and TradFi and we will do this successfully with the right partners. On the compliant, TradFi side, we have partnered with Shufti Pro. The Shufti Pro system is designed from the ground up to make it easy for users to be compliant. We are very happy to belong to the Shufti Pro family.”

“Preventing financial crimes and identity theft from fintech markets is what we focus on. We will provide Rock Stable with our best IDV services to help them improve their digital onboarding & customer experience,” said Victor Fredung, the CEO of Shufti Pro.

Initially Published on PR Log

London, UK – March 10, 2023 – A firm with an unorthodox business model of lending loans against NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) as collateral, Kairos announces its partnership with Shufti Pro, one of the leading IDV solution providers, to leave no room for attempted fraud whilst meeting global KYC & AML regulations.  

Kairos makes it possible for customers to take out an instant loan with the best LTV on the market while maintaining the asset’s utility. Capital efficient for liquidity providers and with the best user experience possible for borrowers, the protocol will be multi-chain and targets mainly PFPs and video game assets. 

However, with such an amazing model, Kairos Loan still requires effective AML strategies to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. In fact, NFTs or any digital asset related to web 3 is quite vulnerable in terms of being used by criminals.

“Helping companies prevent fraudulent attacks and comply with KYC & AML regulations is what we are fond of. We will play all our cards to make Kairos fulfill its goals, ” commented Victor Fredung, the CEO of Shufti Pro.

Originally published on Businesswire

London, UK – Feb 8, 2023 – Pioneer of first-ever on-premises identity verification solutions, Shufti Pro, has announced the launch of its risk assessment and eIDV services to help global businesses fight identity fraud and financial crimes, and meet the ever-evolving KYC/AML regulatory landscape.

Risk assessment procedures are purposely built tools to help businesses identify risks associated with their globally diverse client base. On the other hand, online ID checks are required of businesses liable for compliance under the KYC & AML regimes, as countries have started to introduce national electronic verification systems eliminating the need for data entry. 

Risk Assessment Solution: Shufti Pro’s custom-built risk-scoring solution adapts to the interests of organisations whilst addressing every possible risk factor to safeguard businesses from financial crimes, reputational damages, and regulatory sanctions. It ensures enterprises make informed decisions by evaluating customer risk factors through custom questionnaires and fraud prevention data points, further examined by the Shufti Pro’s risk intelligence profiling engines (a database of over 10 billion ID elements). 

eIDV Service: Electronic identity verification (eIDV) is the process of verifying customers through a government-issued unique identifier number. eIDV works similar to the KYC process, asides from the requirement of paper-based document uploads provided by the customer. Shufti Pro’s eIDV matches the clients’ data, such as name, DoB, social security number, and address, against multiple databases and provides unparalleled security. The digitisation of the modern world shows us to be moving away from paper IDs towards completely electronic forms due to enhanced privacy, fraud prevention and the elevation of user experience. Such changes will ensure customer onboarding will be easier, more accurate, cater to global customers and effectively reduce customer abandonment rates. 

“As a global IDV service provider, Shufti Pro continuously innovates to meet an increasingly varied and diverse range of regulatory compliance requirements  for our customers,” said Victor Fredung, CEO of Shufti Pro. “We are dedicated to providing solutions that address the changing needs of our global clientele and the wider general market – both at the point of onboarding and beyond, and I am pleased to share that risk assessment and eIDV services do just that.”

Shufti Pro recently introduced an array of new features, such as SSO implementation, duplicate account verification, and more to strengthen the suite of its identity verification products. Last year, the company secured $20 Million in Series A funding to accelerate its international expansion, enhance its IDV solutions and expand its compliance suite. Staying true to its word, the company is launching new IDV products to fulfil its vision of building a future where fraud prevention is cost-effective and accessible to every size of business. 

Global organisations looking for an IDV partner can contact Shufti Pro here.

As the increase in financial crime occurs at an alarming rate, companies need to anticipate fraudulent activities by implementing robust risk assessment procedures to detect and mitigate fraud. Risk assessment is a key component of a company’s internal protocols, controls, and strategies to manage fraud risk and control failures.

Shufti Pro offers a highly customisable risk-scoring solution best fitted to the interests of various industries whilst addressing every possible risk factor to safeguard businesses from financial crimes, reputational damages, and regulatory sanctions. The company’s solution will help enterprises establish trust by evaluating customer risk factors through custom questionnaires and fraud prevention data points. 

Here’s How Shufti Pro’s Customer Risk Solution Works

  1. Initialise Risk Assessment: The compliance officer sets criteria to calculate customer risk based on industry.
  2. Configure Risk Ranges & Scores: Risk ranges (low, medium, high, prohibited) are set based on your custom criteria.
  3. Set Fraud Prevention Rules: Fraud prevention rules are created through email, IP, phone number, and velocity.
  4. Assign Weightage: Weightage is assigned to each constraint based on your business requirements.
  5. Create Questionnaires: MLRO creates custom questionnaires to get detailed information to evaluate risk.
  6. Set Risk Scores: Each answer element in the questionnaire is assigned a risk score.
  7. Develop a Risk Assessment Journey: Creates a custom risk assessment journey based on selected risk levels.

“As it is said, prevention is better than cure, that is why we are assisting businesses to create their customer risk profiling beforehand and reduce the chances of identity fraud and regulatory fines,” said Victor Fredung, CEO of Shufti Pro. “By running your own risk assessment model, businesses can determine a risk rating and risk range for their clients, judging if they are low, medium or high for money laundering. This risk-based approach will help firms nurture business relationships with legal clients and lower their overall risk of violating AML regulations.”

Originally Published on PR Log

London, UK – Jan 31, 2023 – An Italian company with a vision of creating ease in Italy’s used cars and motorcycles market by eliminating transactional fraud, Owny announced its alliance with Shufti Pro to strengthen its IDV process while meeting global KYC & AML regulations across the country.

Owny exists with the purpose of protecting both the buyer and the seller during the process of buying or selling a vehicle. The company’s targeted market includes mainly private individuals and independent companies. At the moment, Owny is only operating with Italian-registered vehicles that will remain registered in the country once they are sold.

Shufti Pro, one of the leading identity verification solution providers, aims to create ease for businesses by eradicating operational inefficiencies. The company’s robust IDV solutions have proven to be reliable and highly accurate in terms of detecting identity theft and making them capable enough to secure customer transactions. 

Fraudulent activities in the automobile industry occur in terms of transactions as if the buyer is in possession of both; the money & vehicle, and the seller ends up receiving no payment in return. It can also go vice versa. Moreover, in the standardised ways of conducting a transaction through banks while buying and selling used cars, customers also face the same teething troubles along with delays. To help its customers avoid such risks, Owny took the initiative to integrate Shufti Pro’s identity verification solutions into its web platform, which will help it to combat transactional fraud while meeting AML, KYC, and CFT regulations across the country.

While sharing views on this partnership, Giacomo Raimondi, the CEO of Owny, said: “I am proud to announce the partnership with Shufti Pro LTD. Having a serious and solid company alongside Owny is a fundamental strategic choice. This partnership allows Owny to be compliant with European regulations and is, above all, essential for the protection of our customers, which is what Owny and Shufti Pro care about the most.”  

“Helping companies combat fraudulent individuals in the markets while making them meet global KYC & AML regulations is what we are concerned about. And that is what we are planning to do for Owny,” said Victor Fredung, the CEO of Shufti Pro.  

About Owny 

Owny is currently operating in Italy with the aim of securing buyers and sellers while trading used cars or motorcycles. Its targeted audience includes private individuals and independent companies, and the whole business model revolves around Italian-registered vehicles.
