Simplifying Compliance
For Modern Finance
Designing a comprehensive compliance platform for user onboarding & verification, business verification, investor accreditation, and regulatory verification.
Streamlining Identity & Compliance for Global Scale
This project focused on designing a unified compliance platform handling KYC (Know Your Customer), KYB (Know Your Business), AML (Anti-Money Laundering), Investor accreditation, PEPs (Politically Exposed Persons) & Sanctions verification processes across 200+ countries, onboarding trusted users in under 30 seconds.
Regulatory compliance has traditionally been a friction point in financial services. Our mission was to create an experience that guides users through complex verification workflows while maintaining the highest security and compliance standards.
The details at a glance
Building a Single Source of Truth
Design a all-in-one compliance platform that transforms tedious verification processes into guided, intuitive experiences users can complete in minutes.
The platform needed to handle complex regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions while providing clear progress indicators, smart document capture, and instant verification where possible.

Bringing the vision to life
Impact and results
The platform successfully launched and is now used by thousands of users monthly. The compliance team reported significant reduction in manual review time, and user satisfaction scores for the verification process improved dramatically.
What this project taught me
Good compliance UX is invisible; users should feel guided, not interrogated.
This project taught me that the best compliance design is neutrality combined with power. By treating identity as a dynamic, extensible layer rather than a static step, we enabled businesses to adapt to global regulations instantly.
The key insight was that users aren't frustrated by compliance itself; they're frustrated by the lack of clarity and transparency in the process. Clear expectations and visible progress transformed an obligation into a manageable task.
