FTS.Money Partners With KYB, AML Watcher, and Facia for Enhanced Onboarding Checks

HONG KONG, October 19, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- FTS.Money, a provider of cloud-based payment software and integration infrastructure, has entered into strategic partnerships with The KYB, AML Watcher, and Facia to enhance its offerings in business verification, financial crime screening, and identity checks. This collaboration aims to streamline the onboarding process for businesses by integrating these essential checks directly into payment processes.

The KYB, known for its business verification and corporate due diligence services, will provide registry and ownership evidence. AML Watcher, which specializes in sanctions, PEP, watchlist, and adverse media risk intelligence, will offer risk assessment tools. Facia, focusing on liveness detection, face matching, and deepfake-aware identity assurance, will ensure robust identity verification. Customers can choose which checks to use, making the process highly customizable.

FTS.Money’s platform, which includes services like veraf.ai and Trust Anchor Service (TAS), now offers a modular approach to onboarding. Organisations can select specific checks for merchant, supplier, or partner onboarding, ensuring that they meet their unique needs. Users can also opt to use veraf.ai directly, specifying the checks they require and paying only for those services. veraf.ai generates a source-cited report, with material findings subject to human review.

For cases requiring stronger evidence, TAS can bind approved records to an organisation’s identity, making any subsequent alterations detectable. This feature can be used independently or in conjunction with FTS.Money, depending on the specific deployment requirements.

Initial use cases for this partnership include merchant onboarding, supplier due diligence, identity assurance, and UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) review, as well as sanctions and PEP (Politically Exposed Person) screening. The availability of these services depends on jurisdiction, data rights, and service agreements.

Samuel highlighted the flexibility of the partnership, allowing businesses to tailor their onboarding processes to their specific needs.

This collaboration underscores the growing importance of robust identity and risk management in the financial sector, particularly as businesses expand their operations and engage with a broader range of partners and customers.

The partnership between FTS.Money and its new partners is designed to address the increasing complexity of financial crime screening and identity verification. By integrating these essential services into the onboarding process, the company aims to provide a comprehensive solution that enhances security and compliance while streamlining operations for its clients.
