Our take
The Know Your Customer (KYC) process is vital to any modern business, but ensuring KYC compliance can be challenging, especially at scale. Encompass solves this problem with its automated KYC regulation platform.
Encompass's platform helps companies to prevent fraud and financial crime, while also saving them time and money. It primarily targets banks and financial institutions that have to comply with a multitude of regulations. Since launching in 2012, Encompass has opened offices in seven global locations, testament to its value and growth potential.
The need for KYC automation is rising rapidly, and Encompass, which raised an impressive $33M in funding in 2022, is poised to take advantage of this demand.
