As the industry matures and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, businesses need seamless, secure, and scalable compliance frameworks that do not compromise speed or efficiency.

‍

At Orbital, where we bridge stablecoin and traditional finance, strong Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) processes are central to our operations. To reinforce these safeguards, we have partnered with Know Your Customer, a leading provider specialising in real-time business verification and registry data across over 140 countries, ensuring that every transaction meets the highest standards of integrity and transparency. 

‍

Why KYB is Essential to Secure Payments

“Compliance isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about ensuring the businesses we work with are legitimate and trustworthy,” says Gary Mushrow, Head of Compliance Product at Orbital.

‍

The ability to verify business partners quickly without sacrificing security is crucial in a fast-moving financial landscape. Know Your Customer enables us to do this through:

• Faster Onboarding, Less Friction Real-time access to global registry data means fewer manual document requests, expediting verification.
• Live Data Retrieval Unlike providers that rely on outdated registry snapshots, Know Your Customer delivers up-to-the-minute business data.
• Global Reach Access to open, semi-open, and closed registries worldwide allows efficient verification across multiple jurisdictions.
• Scalability & Cost Efficiency Advanced compliance tools ensure secure growth without adding unnecessary overheads

‍

“Orbital’s forward-thinking approach to stablecoin and traditional cross-border transactions aligns perfectly with our mission of empowering businesses through best-in-class KYC/AML compliance technology. By integrating our advanced business verification and automation solutions, we’re confident that together we’ll set a new benchmark for frictionless, secure global payments that can meet—and exceed—regulatory expectations worldwide,” said Claus Christensen, CEO and Co-Founder of Know Your Customer.

Strengthening Orbital’s Compliance Framework

Operating at the intersection of stablecoin and traditional payments requires a compliance-first approach. By integrating Know Your Customer into our AML (Anti-Money Laundering) framework, we enhance security, reduce risk, and improve operational efficiency.

‍

How This Strengthens Our Platform:

• Continuous Risk Monitoring Real-time KYB and KYC checks help detect and mitigate suspicious activity early, enabling a perpetual KYC (p-KYC) model.
• Accelerated Onboarding Automated verification reduces wait times, allowing businesses to access payment services faster.
• Balancing Speed and Security Advanced tools ensure legitimate businesses are onboarded quickly while effectively screening out high-risk entities.

‍

A Compliance-First Approach That Benefits Clients

For businesses using the Orbital platform, compliance is more than a regulatory necessity—it is a signal of trust. “Businesses want assurance that the companies they transact with are properly vetted,” says Mushrow. “By leveraging real-time KYB and p-KYC, we create a secure and reliable payments environment that protects our customers.”

‍

What This Means for Clients:

• Faster Access to Payment Services – Automated registry data retrieval means fewer manual checks and a smoother onboarding experience.
• Fraud Prevention – A robust KYB process reduces exposure to bad actors and financial crime.
• Stronger Transaction Integrity – Every business on our platform meets strict compliance standards, reinforcing trust and transparency.

‍

Compliance is No Longer Optional

Regulators are tightening controls across the stablecoin and traditional payments industries, increasing penalties for compliance failures. Weak KYC and KYB frameworks can lead to heavy fines, operational disruptions, and reputational damage—risks no business can afford.

‍

At Orbital, compliance is proactive, not reactive. We have integrated Know Your Customer into our risk framework, ensuring real-time verification and ongoing due diligence. Instead of relying on static registry snapshots, we pull live, accurate data, allowing us to detect and help mitigate risks instantly.

‍
