Five reasons why Payment Service Providers choose Owlin for KYC
Payment Service Providers (PSPs) are regulated entities and must comply with rules set out by regulators that ensure they complete comprehensive due diligence to mitigate the risk of financial fraud. Also, PSPs underwrite merchants and, therefore, always look for ways to reduce the risk of their merchant portfolio.
Owlin for KYC offers PSP’s the option to combine complying with rules set out by regulators while minimizing risk. Want to know more about how we do that? This blog shares five reasons Payment Service Providers choose Owlin for onboarding!
1. Combine different datasets (and reduce manual labor)
PSPs must understand the risk of the merchants they are onboarding but often struggle with fragmented and manual onboarding processes in which entities or individuals are manually identified and screened against different risk data sources. With Owlin, PSPs can access a single solution that helps KYC Specialists automize and combine their Client Identification Program and Customer Due Diligence processes.
More specifically, Owlin helps Payment Service Providers check merchants against all relevant databases at once by setting up personalized queries on the entire Owlin database, including:
- Adverse Media Data
- Chamber of Commerce Data
- Sanctions Data
- Political Exposed Persons (PEP) Data
- State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Data
- Black- and Warning lists
- Consumer Reviews
- PDF documents
- Alternative Data (e.g., Consumer Reviews)
2. Get access to excellent adverse media data (with guaranteed coverage of non-listed entities)
Are you onboarding a smaller company that does not make the news often? With Owlin, you’ll be sure to get access to non-listed and listed entities. Moreover, you will be ensured of getting relevant insights. Owlin utilizes NLP and AI technology to obtain real-time insights into trends and what’s happening with merchants across languages and geographies (we cover 16 languages and over 3 million sources).
