Scaling Prosper's Compliance Processes with Comply Advantage: A Case Study

by Prosper

As the world of digital currencies continues to grow, so does the need for secure and compliant payment solutions. At Prosper, we specialize in providing a crypto to fiat payment solution that ensures our clients are able to conduct transactions with ease and peace of mind.

To further strengthen our compliance processes, we decided to work with Comply Advantage, a leading provider of anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) solutions. Here is a case study of our experience working with Comply Advantage.

The Challenge

As a provider of crypto to fiat payment solutions, our clients require us to comply with a complex and ever-evolving set of regulatory requirements. We needed to ensure that we were adhering to AML and KYC guidelines to avoid regulatory issues and maintain our clients' trust.

We were also facing a challenge in scaling our compliance processes to keep up with the growing demand for our services. Manual AML and KYC checks were time-consuming, and we needed a more efficient solution.

The Solution

After conducting extensive research, we decided to partner with Comply Advantage. Their AML and KYC solutions offered the following benefits:

  1. Real-time monitoring: Comply Advantage's technology enabled us to perform real-time checks on individuals and entities, ensuring we were up-to-date with any changes in their risk profile.

  2. Comprehensive global coverage: Comply Advantage provided us with access to an extensive global database of sanctions, watchlists, and politically exposed persons (PEPs), ensuring we were able to identify and flag any high-risk entities or individuals.

  3. Automated processes: Comply Advantage's technology allowed us to automate many of our compliance processes, freeing up time and resources to focus on other areas of our business.

The Result

Working with Comply Advantage enabled us to streamline our compliance processes and reduce the risk of regulatory issues. We were able to scale our business and onboard new clients more quickly, without compromising on our compliance obligations.

Thanks to Comply Advantage's real-time monitoring and comprehensive coverage, we were able to identify and flag potential risks quickly and efficiently, allowing us to take appropriate action and avoid any issues.

Conclusion

As the regulatory landscape for digital currencies continues to evolve, it's essential that companies like Prosper take their compliance obligations seriously. By partnering with Comply Advantage, we were able to ensure we were meeting our regulatory requirements while also streamlining our processes and scaling our business.

If you're looking for a reliable and efficient AML and KYC solution, we highly recommend working with Comply Advantage. Their technology and expertise are second to none, and they have been instrumental in our success at Prosper.
