GBG, a global specialist in identity and location intelligence, has partnered with Moody’s, a leader in third-party risk management and compliance, to enhance business onboarding and Know Your Business (KYB) compliance through advanced identity verification technology.
The partnership sees GBG’s global identity data and document verification capabilities integrated into Moody’s Maxsight platform for unified risk management.
This combined offering will enhance the delivery of a fully configurable, end-to-end solution for creating compliance experiences, increased KYC efficiency, expanded protection against fraud and reduced time-to-revenue across complex supply chains.
By integrating GBG’s capabilities directly into Maxsight™, users can validate company directors and Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) within a single system—an essential component for KYB compliance.
The solution enables identity data checks from trusted sources across 50 countries, access to a global document library with more than 8,500 ID templates from 195 countries, and the use of consortium-based analytics to flag suspicious activity. The platform also offers flexibility to adapt identity checks to various regulatory environments and is backed by GBG’s three decades of experience in identity verification.
GBG managing director – identity fraud Gus Tomlinson said, “KYC checks are more than verifying consumers – they’re an essential part of the customer due diligence when onboarding new business customers. Fraud is committed by people, not companies, and identity verification is fundamental to understanding and trusting the individuals behind businesses.
“Our partnership with Moody’s will not only further simplify compliance processes and enhances fraud protection for customers but empowers businesses to grow securely and confidently on a global scale, without adding unnecessary complexity.”
Moody’s senior director, partnerships & acquisitions Alex Pillow said, “In today’s business environment, onboarding customers, suppliers, and other third parties is a critical moment for risk assessment. By embedding GBG’s identity verification, biometric, and fraud analytics into Moody’s Maxsight™ platform, customers receive the very best of Moody’s entity verification and risk insights and the very best of GBG’s identity solutions in a single platform.”
