KYC-Chain: New features, KYC for PSPs and Crypto Wealth Funds

This monthly update covers some of our new upgrades, KYC for crypto wealth funds and PSPs:

Upgrade to Version 5.3.0

KYC-Chain continues its rollout of new features with Version 5.3.0 – our most advanced, efficient and comprehensive onboarding system to date. This upgrade includes the following new features:

• Manager fill – Compliance managers can now collect documents from applicants manually (for example through email or posted, physical documents) and upload them to our system. These are then run through our automated Identity Verification (IDV) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening checks.
• Xmass tree corporate structure chart creation – Version 5.3.0 comes with our new instant company structure visualization tool that automatically presents corporate ownership structures, points of overlap and UBO data.
• Data control – Managers can now delete KYC applications and data permanently from the platform when a user requests that their data is deleted, which is a key factor for companies seeking compliance with GDPR regulations.
• And many more billing, audit trail and risk scoring improvements.
