GBG and Moody’s Partner to Enhance Business Onboarding With Advanced Identity Verification Capabilities

GBG, the global expert in identity and location intelligence, and Moody’s, a leading provider of third-party risk management and compliance solutions, today announced a partnership that integrates GBG’s global identity data and document verification capabilities into Moody’s Maxsight™ platform for unified risk management.

This partnership combines the strengths of both companies to enhance delivery of a fully configurable, end-to-end solution for creating exceptional compliance experiences, increased Know Your Customer (KYC) efficiency, expanded protection against fraud, and reduced time-to-revenue across complex supply chains. 

By integrating GBG’s identity capabilities directly into the platform, Maxsight™ users can seamlessly verify the identity of company directors and Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) in one platform, a critical step in Know Your Business (KYB) compliance.

GBG’s capabilities in the Maxsight™ platform include:

• Trusted identity data sources in 50 countries selected to rigorous standards for identity security, inclusivity and transparency
• Global identity document library with over 8,500 ID templates in 195 countries delivering secure identity document authentication
• Consortium based analytics to help identify potential bad actors
• Flexibility to configure identity data checks for diverse compliance requirements
• Over 30 years’ experience and identity expertise

Gus Tomlinson, Managing Director – Identity Fraud at GBG, said: “KYC checks are more than verifying consumers – they’re an essential part of the customer due diligence when onboarding new business customers. Fraud is committed by people, not companies, and identity verification is fundamental to understanding and trusting the individuals behind businesses.

Our partnership with Moody’s will not only further simplify compliance processes and enhances fraud protection for customers but empowers businesses to grow securely and confidently on a global scale, without adding unnecessary complexity.”

Alex Pillow, Senior Director, Partnerships & Acquisitions at Moody’s, said, “In today’s business environment, onboarding customers, suppliers, and other third parties is a critical moment for risk assessment. By embedding GBG’s identity verification, biometric, and fraud analytics into Moody’s Maxsight™ platform, customers receive the very best of Moody’s entity verification and risk insights and the very best of GBG’s identity solutions in a single platform.”
