In an effort to enhance its online security procedures UK e-money firm MoneyNetint has selected Onfido‘s biometric selfie and document verification solution to improve its KYC processes and better navigate the complexities of global regulation. MoneyNetint provides cross-border money transfers and exchange services for corporate clients.

According to the announcement, Onfido’s expertise in artificial intelligence and facial recognition will help MoneyNetint deliver a frictionless online experience while also improving the onboarding experience and operational efficiency.
