Blockpass Announces Integration with Hong Kong-based asset manager Legacy Trust
HONG KONG, Feb 28, 2019 - (ACN Newswire) - Digital identity verification solution Blockpass today announced the
integration of its KYC Connect solution into the Legacy Trust customer onboarding procedure.
Forward-thinking trust company Legacy Trust provides custody for crypto and fiat assets for individuals and
institutions. Legacy works with corporate clients, pension funds and private individuals, offering a diverse range of
services and products to retail businesses, ultra-high net-worth individuals and families. By integrating the Blockpass
KYC Connect solution, Legacy is furthering the benefits of its offering to clients by simplifying the painstaking
customer onboarding process.
Blockpass is a digital identity application and service which brings control back to the user. Blockpass provides a
streamlined and cost-effective user onboarding process for regulated industries and any kind of online service. From the
Blockpass Application, users can create, store, and manage data-secure digital identities that can be used for an entire
ecosystem of services or token purchases. The Blockpass KYC Connect solution is an easy-to-integrate solution that plugs
into existing business platforms through the use of an API, and significantly reduces the friction of new customer
onboarding, lowering costs and decreasing the drop-out rate during the onboarding process.
"We're really looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership with Legacy Trust," said Blockpass CEO Adam
Vaziri. "Together, we can aid in simplifying new customer onboarding for Legacy while growing the Blockpass consumer
ecosystem, building the number of users who actively use the application and therefore strengthening the overall
Blockpass proposition."
"KYC is one of the financial sector's most vital activities," said Legacy Trust CEO Vincent Chok. "By integrating
Blockpass, we hope to reduce friction during the client onboarding processes, achieve greater security and ultimately
provide an easier and faster onboarding experience."
Blockpass has continued to expand the number of corporate customers using their platform in recent months, announcing
recently that businesses including Ethfinex, BBFTA, ethecal and Infinito have integrated the KYC Connect solution into
their customer onboarding procedures.
