Orbital, a leading global platform for stablecoin and traditional cross-border payments, has announced a strategic partnership with Know Your Customer, an award-winning provider of digital onboarding and KYB please automation solutions. This collaboration significantly enhances Orbital's compliance framework, streamlining client onboarding while reinforcing security, transparency, and efficiency in cross-border transactions.

As stablecoins gain mainstream adoption, regulatory scrutiny is increasing, making seamless, compliant onboarding essential for businesses operating at the intersection of stablecoin and traditional payments. Know Your Customer specialises in real-time business verification and registry data streamlining compliance, onboarding, and risk monitoring. Orbital recognised Know Your Customer's unparalleled access to registries across 140 countries. This extensive coverage, coupled with the requirement for official documentary evidence, was a key factor in choosing them as a partner.

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.

By leveraging Know Your Customer's advanced compliance technology, Orbital reduces onboarding time while maintaining the highest standards of integrity.

"With Know Your Customer now part of our compliance stack, we are setting a new benchmark for secure and seamless cross-border transactions."
