Choosing the right eKYC solution provider can be hard, given that there are so many of them; each offers different features and focuses on different niches.
You may ask “how about developing an eKYC solution myself?”. But, as we have pointed out previously in the article ‘eKYC Solution: a Buy vs. Build Analysis‘
buying a ready-built eKYC solution from an independent provider can be more beneficial and economical than developing one from scratch with your in-house team.
In this article, we discuss the 6 most popular eKYC solution providers. We will not range them by quality since each vendor has its strengths and weaknesses. Instead, we will focus on their unique selling point, so that you can decide which is the one you’re looking for.
