Onfido, the global leader in automated identity verification, announced the results of its four year partnership with Lemonway, a leading Pan-European payment institution. Since integrating Onfido’s AI-powered identity verification solutions, Lemonway has seen substantial ROI, including a 2X increase in validated identity documents and 2X increase in validated wallets and accounts, resulting in business growth while maintaining regulatory obligations.

Lemonway provides regulated payment services, wallet management, and pay-out for marketplaces such as Decathlon, SNCF Connect, and HelloAsso. To meet the European Economic Area (EEA) regulations regarding Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes, Lemonway required a solution that avoided delays in the user onboarding process and that could verify identity documents (ID) at a global scale. Lemonway also wanted to focus on the overall customer experience and therefore made liveness for customer identification a priority.
