EQ partners with Encompass to bolster KYC offering

EQ (Equiniti), an international technology-led services and payments specialist, is delighted to announce that it has partnered with Encompass to further bolster its KYC proposition. 

EQ will work with Encompass to automate and use artificial intelligence to analyse data that helps build a dynamic picture of a company or individual in just minutes, enhancing EQ’s technological capabilities alongside their fully managed service. 

EQ provides a highly personalised, end-to-end service for customers’ KYC challenges, from customer onboarding and complex due diligence investigations through to large scale remediation projects. The addition of greater automation and data analysis further streamlines the KYC process for EQ’s customers, saving them time and money. 

The partnership will also future proof EQ’s access to third party data sources through universal connectivity and allow for consistent compliance across jurisdictions. 

Together, EQ and Encompass solve many of the critical challenges of KYC corporate onboarding, combining automated data and document discovery, workflow, and client outreach. Combined with EQ’s leading managed KYC service, this proposition revolutionises very complex, costly processes. 

Chris Adams, Head of Product at EQ Digital commented: “We are delighted to announce this partnership with Encompass, who have proven success in delivering greater automation and access to data to their partners within the KYC sector.
