Will Charnley, Managing Director at Liminal, is featured in The Paypers’ latest report, ‘Emerging Technologies and Trends in Identity Verification, KYC, and KYB Report 2024,’ published May 2024.
In the report, Charnley discusses the significant challenges businesses face due to rising interest rates, tech sector layoffs, geopolitical tensions, and recession concerns. Combined with generative AI advancements, these factors have increased fraud and cyberattack instances. Regulatory changes like AML, KYC, eIDAS 2.0, and MiCA push compliance leaders toward efficient technological solutions. Additionally, the diversification of payment methods requires faster financial crime prevention systems. Emerging trends like verifiable credentials, digital wallets, passwordless solutions, data analytics, and AI applications are transforming security landscapes.
Amidst these challenges, the industry focuses on four key priorities: expedited customer onboarding, compliance, fraud prevention, and cost reduction. Charnley emphasizes that banks, Fintechs, and regulated entities can tackle these issues by trialing and investing in new tech solutions, partnering with or acquiring expertise, developing in-house products, seeking external assistance, learning from industry peers, and staying informed about regulatory and technological developments.
