Our take
In recent years, there has been an enormous shift towards online banking, a trend that’s unlikely to turn around with surveys showing that more than half of US banking customers don’t intend to return to branches in person. The rise in digital onboarding has aroused concern about both the speed and labour of ID verification, as well as fraud potential. Alloy was built to help connect banks and fintech companies to more sources of KYC, AML and other compliance data.
The company's single API identity verification platform allows financial institutions to secure against the risk of fraud and misjudged risk decisions when onboarding new customers online. Alloy also helps to improve customer conversion through the compliance funnel and speed up previously manual back-office processes.
The company serves the burgeoning fintech market, a lucrative market with a 25% annual growth rate and already has notable clients in the form of Radius Bank and Aspiration. Alloy's main competition in the future will likely come from financial institutions themselves, who will have to decide on buying the company's solution or building their own in-house. Regardless, Alloy's global expansion efforts have created substantial growth opportunity.
