Background
GMO-Z.com recently announced a new prime-of-prime brokerage service, offered to regulated brokers, hedge fund and asset managers, private banks and proprietary traders. Clients will benefit from curated liquidity pools and gain direct access to optimised FX, precious metals, commodities, and equity indices markets.
Anticipating a fast-growing customer base, GMO-Z.com recognised they needed a seamless and complete digital onboarding experience to meet customer expectations for FX trading whilst delivering regulatory compliance.

The challenge
Needed a digital solution that managed the complexity of KYC onboarding.
The compliance requirements and verification that GMO-Z.COM needed to fulfil as part of its onboarding and trading processes were highly complex and resource-hungry.
GMO-Z.com needed to verify the identity of individuals and corporate entities to ensure Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance obligations were met, and to perform robust client classification, suitability, and appropriateness assessments on their clients so their users can begin trading with a range of global financial products, whilst ensuring compliance with MiFID II and other global regulations.
At scale, this was shown to be very ineffective for growth, and GMO-Z.com questioned its ability to meet future customer demand. GMO-Z.com required a digital solution that managed the complexity of KYC onboarding across different international markets, along with automated client suitability and appropriateness assessment to facilitate compliant trading.
