Using ComplyCube

12 - Operations, Product Managers, Software Engineers, Compliance Officer
ComplyCube is a SaaS solution. So we do not need in-house support. Our support needs are met by the ComplyCube team.
  • Speed up the account opening process
  • Fraud detection and prevention
  • Comply with AML regulations across a number of countries.
  • We initially wanted to integrate ComplyCube into our back-office compliance CRM system. However, we also found that by integrating ComplyCube into our customer onboarding process, we were able to enhance the customer experience, reduce the time required for identity verification, and reduce the back-office workload.
  • One area where we believe ComplyCube could be particularly useful is in compliance monitoring. By using ComplyCube to continuously monitor our customers' identities and activity, we could more quickly identify and mitigate compliance risks and ensure ongoing compliance with regulations.
Met all our requirements and the customer service has been flawless

Evaluating ComplyCube and Competitors

Yes - Prior to adopting ComplyCube, we were using a combination of in-house tools and third-party solutions for identity verification, AML Screening, PEP checks, etc. While these tools were effective to some extent, we found they had several limitations and drawbacks that made them less than ideal for our needs. The biggest issue was that these systems required us to create a complicated integration later, which was costly to build and maintain. Therefore, we decided to look for a platform that could do everything we need in one place.
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
As mentioned earlier, we needed a verification platform that brings all features we need under one roof. We evaluated several third-party solutions, but we found that they were often too narrowly focused on specific use cases or geographies. This made it difficult to achieve a comprehensive and consistent risk profile across all our customers and jurisdictions. Additionally, many of these solutions were costly and difficult to integrate with our existing workflows and systems.
Can't really think of something, as I believe our evaluation process was pretty thorough and involved several PoCs/Pilots with many third-party vendors.

ComplyCube Implementation

Implementation was hassle-free as the API well document and support were on hand.
Change management was a small part of the implementation and was well-handled

ComplyCube Training

  • Online Training
  • In-Person Training
Training was conducted via MS Team, and the instructor was helpful and demonstrated strong knowledge in the AML and platform space.
The training was on point in terms of depth and covered all the aspects we were after. The platform provides a range of resources to help new users get up to speed, including training videos, documentation, and live calls.

Configuring ComplyCube

As well as the web interface, ComplyCube offers an extensive API which makes it highly customizable/configurable. Also, its web portal offers the ability to quickly configure risk thresholds and a number of automation rules. The Mobile and Web SDKs we use are very customizable regarding stages, branding, and checks.
As AML regulations require a risk-based approach, organizations need to configure the tool as per their risk appetite. So your MLRO/Compliance officer should be able to easily configure the platform and ask for ComplyCube's support if you need assistance/advice.
Yes - we have customized the interface extensively - We customized mobile/web SDK to match the branding of our customers.
No - we have not done any custom code

Yes, we've had several instances where ComplyCube provided us with exceptional support for their product. One example that comes to mind is when we were going through a regulatory audit and needed to demonstrate our compliance with the latest KYC regulations. We had some questions and concerns about how to properly configure ComplyCube to meet these requirements, so we reached out to their customer support team for assistance. The ComplyCube team, Katie in particular, was incredibly responsive and helpful, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had the information and guidance we needed. They worked closely with us to understand our specific use case and regulatory requirements, and they provided us with detailed documentation and step-by-step instructions on how to configure our ComplyCube integration to meet those requirements.

Using ComplyCube

We found ComplyCube to be intuitive and user-friendly, with a clean and well-organized interface that makes it easy to navigate and use. The various features and functionality are logically grouped and clearly labeled, and the platform includes helpful tooltips and documentation to guide you through each step. One aspect of ComplyCube's usability that we particularly appreciate is their API documentation and developer resources. We've found their API to be well-documented and easy to use, with a robust set of endpoints and parameters that give us a lot of flexibility in how we integrate their platform with our own systems.
