FTS.Money Partners With The KYB, AML Watcher and Facia to Unite Business, Risk and Identity Checks

The partnership brings registry, sanctions and identity checks into payment onboarding. Each provider keeps a distinct role and customers choose their checks.

HONG KONG, October 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — FTS.Money today announced partnerships with The KYB, AML Watcher and Facia, bringing business verification, financial crime screening and identity checks to customers across its portfolio, including veraf.ai and Trust Anchor Service (TAS). Each partner keeps a distinct role: The KYB provides registry and ownership evidence, AML Watcher provides risk intelligence, and Facia provides liveness and deepfake aware identity checks.

The collaboration is modular: customers decide which providers and checks to use. Organisations can build specialist checks into payment, merchant or partner onboarding. Separately, any eligible user with a legitimate purpose can use veraf.ai directly: state the check, see the cost and pay only for the checks selected. veraf.ai prepares a source cited report, and material findings remain subject to human review.

Where stronger evidence is needed, TAS can bind an approved record to an organisation identity and make later alteration detectable. TAS can be used independently or with FTS.Money, where a deployment requires it.

Initial use cases include merchant onboarding, supplier due diligence, identity assurance and UBO review, plus sanctions and PEP screening. Availability depends on jurisdiction, data rights and service agreement.

“Trust is the real infrastructure of payments, and it should not belong only to large institutions. With these partners, any eligible organisation can choose its checks and trust the evidence.”
Ajmal Samuel, Founder and CEO, FTS.Money

“Specialist evidence is most useful when it fits how customers already onboard. We are glad to bring business, sanctions and identity checks from The KYB, AML Watcher and Facia into FTS.Money’s customer workflows.”
Khurram A., Founder, AML Watcher
