Blockchain HELIX –
a game changer for KYC-processes
In many industries but especially in the finance industry legal obligations require comprehensive validation of user identities before being able to provide a service.
This process requires a discontinuity in media as users are required wait for a validation through slow postal services-based identification. This reduces potential conversion rates of online services. Additionally the user must undergo a tedious process.
However, the cost of onboarding new customers through means of comprehensive KYC processes is also high for companies and institutions. KYC-processes have produced approx. costs of US$18 bn in 2014. Most of this unnecessarily as these processes are repeated over and over again – by other companies.
Blockchain HELIX fundamentally changes this by utilising Blockchain technology to allow institutions and companies to share verified data – while being fully complient and under full customer control over the data.
Blockchain HELIX –
Covering the 10 commandments of digital identities
Existence
Users have an independent existence — they are never wholly digital
Self determination
Users must have access and control to their own data — no gatekeepers, nothing hidden
Persistence
Identities must last for as long as the user wishes
Transparency
Transparent and open systems and algorithms
Interoperability
Identities should be as widely usable as possible; e.g. cross borders
Portability
Information and services about identity must be transportable by the user – no platform lock
Consent
Users must freely agree to how their identity information will be used
Minimalization
Only the minimum amount of personal data needed should be granted
Protection
The rights of individual users must be protected
Right to be Forgotten
An individual has the right to demand that data controller erases any or all data held about an individual by that controller

Data you can rely on –
the Trust Provider Network
KYC processes are undergone by customers multiple times when they want to open an financial account. This is an ordeal for customers and hampers the growth in innovative Fintech services.
Additionally validated fully compliant user data is expensive to acquire for companies as well in regards to manpower and necessary monitoring.
Reducing cost of KYC processes to a minimum
Blockchain HELIX uses Blockchain to allow institutions and banks to safely share validated data in an near instant process dramatically increasing the speed of KYC processes while hughly decreasing the cost of onboarding.
This system is called Trust Provider Network. Basically this network connects many different institutions in a standardized platform, allowing them to share work force, increase data quality, streamline processes and optimize costs. The platform is totally compliant with data protection regulations, once users are the only ones that can grant access to trust providers and trust takers.
“We believe blockchain has the opportunity to streamline and potentially transform anti-money laundering (AML) compliance procedures. “
