However, the account opening is subject to the client’s completion of all KYC checks.

The company intends to soon launch the platform in Ireland and the UK and make it available globally by the end of this year.

The newly launched digital banking platform, according to the company, will do away with the need for asset managers, SPVs, family offices, corporate firms, trusts and UHNWIs to provide physical document copies.

It will also remove the need for them to send information via mail. The platform will allow the company to challenge traditional bank onboarding processes via a fully digitised method.
