Building a Secure Financial Ecosystem

How platform providers and trust services work together to build digital trust in the financial industry. Includes two use cases for KYC and digital fraud prevention. 

Trust in finance, from its inception, was established by proximity and the absence of intermediaries. In today's changing world, however, most financial operations cannot be conducted through personal interactions and confirmed by handshakes, signatures, or wax seals.

Technological advancements empower finance to be fast, seamless, and borderless. Therefore, there is a need for an ecosystem to create trust when parties never meet physically and transactions occur across vast distances in milliseconds. Those new mechanisms are fully explored in the material we prepared.

Building Trust in a Borderless Financial World

As finance embraces instant payments, buy now, pay later in B2C, remote onboarding, and AI-driven platforms, legacy systems and fragmented processes are clear liabilities. To operationalize digital trust at scale, institutions need multi-layered, interoperable controls. From identity verification and risk scoring to real-time fraud prevention, these tools are essential for protecting users and ensuring compliance, without compromising the user experience.
