Solarisbank provides a multitude of digital identification service components via RESTful APIs. Its KYC platform is fully compliant with anti-money laundering laws and can be adapted to the specific needs of a company. In addition to standard methods such as video identification, Coinbase also leverages the innovative Bankident solution developed by Solarisbank.
Since Bankident does not require any face-to-face interaction with a physical agent, it enables a faster and unlimited scalable identification process while still being fully compliant with German money laundering regulations. It’s fully digital and available around the clock, allowing customers to identify themselves wherever they are.
The expertise in the area of compliance and the highly efficient KYC platform convinced us to choose Solarisbank as our partner. Through a single API, we were able to integrate different services in a very short time and can now offer a flexible onboarding experience to our customers in GermanySascha Rangoonwala, Coinbase’s Country Manager for Germany
