To keep abreast with its rapidly growing global community, cryptocurrency exchange Coinut will be utilizing the eKYC onboarding process, anti-money laundering, and global compliance monitoring solutions of Advance.Ai.
SINGAPORE, 31 August 2022 - Coinut (Coin Ultimate Trading) is a web and mobile app cryptocurrency exchange based in Singapore and Toronto. Started in 2013, the exchange offers secure transactions with an offline wallet; an easy, fast, and user-friendly interface; and the lowest fees for fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-crypto deposits and withdrawals and currently has 1.3M global active users on the platform. Coinut supports Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin exchanges exchanges with fiat currencies Singapore Dollar and Canadian Dollar.
As its number of global users grow, Coinut is making it a top priority to safely and securely onboard new customers anywhere in the world through a fast and frictionless onboarding journey before they can start trading. When it comes to digital assets, it is also essential for Coinut to have a partner that can automate and simplify solutions to combat fraud and identity theft, while also meeting strict global compliance and AML (anti-money laundering) screening standards.
While a survey by Milieu research earlier this year said almost one-third of Singaporeans own a cryptocurrency, with the majority of them holding on to it for trading and investment, the Monetary Authority of Singapore also said it plans to broaden crypto regulations in July this year with the focus on money laundering and terrorism financing risks.
Coinut decided to partner with Singapore-headquartered AI company, ADVANCE.AI to power its customer onboarding journey via its One-Stop Platform, which allows for easy configuration and customisation. Through this partnership, Coinut users will be able to quickly complete efficient and accurate eKYC processes, enjoy fast approval and better authentication for account opening and high-risk digital payment transactions such as withdrawals and deposits. The process includes the use of video eKYC for remote onboarding, advanced facial recognition and ID document recognition technology for customers in over 200+ countries (including in Asia, Africa and Latin America).
Xinxi Wang, Founder & CEO of Coinut said: “As a financial entity regulated under Ontario Securities Commission of Canada and an exempt financial entity under the Payment Services Act in Singapore, the safety and security of our global customer base and transactions on our platform is extremely critical. Thanks to ADVANCE.AI, our eKYC onboarding process is not just quick and user-friendly, but also seamless and secure. Compliance is also key for us as we scale our business globally so we look forward to growing our partnership with ADVANCE.AI and rely on their experience and expertise, especially in AML and compliance monitoring.”
