About Us
Identitii is on a mission to improve financial inclusion and eliminate financial crime
Identitii was founded in 2014 to bridge the gap between the increasing demand from regulators and customers for more information on financial transactions, and the legacy technology systems that make it difficult to identify and share that information.
Know Your Transaction is the idea that KYC is no longer enough to prevent money laundering.
Easier access and securely share the information needed to perform financial crime due diligence internally and for regulators, without needing to upgrade existing systems, is helping our customers simplify financial crime compliance and ultimately do more business.
