Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer procedures are essential elements of financial and legal transactions, but currently require an exorbitant amount of human and material resources to perform. Blockchain unleashes new solutions for a more affordable, one stop shop verification process and less on-boarding hassles for users.
