By Dominic Sow · 15 December 2025

Signicat partners with Markaaz to enhance global KYB, onboarding, and fraud prevention, with Pinar Alpay of Signicat and Lansing Gatrell of Markaaz leading the strategic collaboration.
Signicat, Europe’s leading provider of digital identity and fraud prevention solutions, and Markaaz, the leading global business identity and intelligence platform, today announced a strategic partnership to enhance Signicat’s Digital Identity and Orchestration Platform with the most complete and continuously verified global business identity intelligence available. The collaboration extends Signicat’s orchestration capabilities across Know-Your-Business (KYB), onboarding, and continuous monitoring workflows globally. By integrating Markaaz’s advanced business intelligence and proprietary entity data into Signicat’s compliance orchestration layer, the partnership accelerates decisioning and streamlines compliance operations for enterprises and financial institutions. Through this partnership, Signicat incorporates Markaaz’s verified global business database, which includes detailed entity profiles, ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) data, and firmographic insights, directly into its Digital Identity platform. Signicat automates KYB verification, streamlines business onboarding, and enables dynamic risk monitoring for its customers across international markets and this combination strengthens this capability. The collaboration allows financial institutions to:
  • Reduce onboarding delays through pre-verified Markaaz data integrated into Signicat’s InstantKYB workflows.
  • Enable risk-based decisioning powered by automated UBO identification and continual data refresh.
  • Improve fraud and AML compliance by combining Signicat’s orchestration engine with Markaaz’s real-time, global entity data.
This move positions Signicat as a more comprehensive global KYB solution provider while expanding Markaaz’s footprint in enterprise-grade compliance ecosystems. It complements Signicat’s mission to provide a unified decisioning layer for both individual and business identities, delivering a faster, more accurate, and trusted onboarding experience worldwide. “Integrating Markaaz into Signicat extends our vision of complete, orchestrated identity and risk management,” said Pinar Alpay,  CPO of Signicat. “Our platform gives enterprises a unified decisioning layer for both individuals and businesses, and Markaaz’s verified global business intelligence strengthens that foundation. Together, we’re enabling organizations to onboard and monitor businesses with unmatched accuracy, speed, and confidence.” “Signicat shares our dedication to trust, accuracy, and AI-driven decisioning,” said Lansing Gatrell, EVP of Business Development & Strategic Partnerships at Markaaz. “Integrating Markaaz directly into Signicat’s orchestration workflows expands our global reach across the supply-chain ecosystem and strengthens the full lifecycle of business decisioning for Signicat customers—from onboarding through continuous monitoring. Together, we can deliver verified business intelligence in ways that significantly amplify the value we provide to customers.” With Markaaz embedded directly into Signicat’s orchestration workflow, customers gain a more comprehensive 360-degree view of both business and individual identities—allowing them to automate KYB processes, strengthen due diligence, and reduce fraud exposure, all within a single platform.
