Primasia digitises client onboarding in corporate services

Hong Kong, 22 June 2021 – Primasia Corporate Services Limited have announced that award-winning RegTech company Know Your Customer is the technology partner behind the digitisation of their client onboarding and KYC/AML process across the APAC region.

Headquartered in Hong Kong and with overseas offices in Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou, Primasia are a leading corporate services group, supporting clients’ Hong Kong and China operations since 1987. The organisation specialises in incorporation, accounting, tax, payroll, visa, and trade/shipping documentation support with an experienced multi-lingual team working in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Established in 2015, Know Your Customer specialises in next-generation digital onboarding solutions for regulated organisations around the world. By providing a single source of truth, Know Your Customer helps clients reduce KYC and AML risks, streamline their processes through agile automation, improve data accuracy and associated analytics, and comply with internal, board and regulatory reporting demands.

In March 2018 new anti-money laundering rules were introduced in Hong Kong, extending compliance requirements for corporate services providers based on recommendations from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Industry practitioners set up new internal controls to perform periodic reports and on-going monitoring, resulting in an increase in resources allocation.

By partnering with Know Your Customer, Primasia was able to replace time-consuming and disconnected manual steps with a more automated and digitised process. The new approach to digital onboarding and on-going monitoring succeeds in exceeding customers’ expectations and meeting regulators’ demands.

John Barclay, Director of Primasia, commented:
“We are constantly looking for innovative solutions to provide the most efficient and seamless experience to our vast range of clients looking to expand and grow across Asian markets. Through the Know Your Customer platform, we can streamline the entire AML process. An intelligent use of automation helps us ensure that no important information or required steps are overlooked and that our efficiency and accuracy are maximised.”

Claus Christensen, CEO of Know Your Customer, added:
“Over the past few years, we have witnessed a decisive increase in the scope and depth of AML requirements in corporate services. By proactively embracing digitisation and intelligent automation, Primasia can bring their vision for on-going compliance and frictionless digital onboarding to life. We are delighted to be their RegTech partner of choice in this exciting journey.”

Know Your Customer has equipped Primasia with a comprehensive compliance platform which includes extensive KYC case management and workflow capabilities, as well as on-going monitoring for live AML updates and automated periodic reviews.
