High-level overview: Avallone versus Swift

Swift’s KYC Registry is used in the financial sector and offers a standardized way for institutions to exchange basic KYC due diligence information. For many companies, it can be a convenient entry point as their counterparties may be already connected to the Swift network.

However, in our opinion, Swift’s KYC tools remain limited - focused mainly on static templates and manual data handling. Avallone goes further by delivering an AI-powered, flexible platform that supports any KYC request, automates responses, and provides dynamic ownership visibility. For organizations seeking to reduce manual work, improve compliance oversight, and scale efficiently, Avallone offers a fully complete, 360° solution.

Novo Holdings loves the Avallone KYC platform

TRUSTED BY INDUSTRY LEADERS

“We went from a totally analog setup where we had no oversight of our KYC work, to a full overview and audit trail available at any time. It’s a very fast system, and so intuitive.

We used to spend 40 minutes on a typical KYC request, whereas now it can take as little as ten minutes. This means that we’ve gained around three working days per month, which equates to more than 300 hours per year!”

— Mia Bøttzauw-Jørgensen, Head of Investment Operations

Frequently Asked
Questions

What is KYC compliance?

KYC compliance is a structured approach to managing the risks associated with verifying and onboarding customers, counterparties or other entities. It involves implementing a centralized platform to automate due diligence, conduct risk assessments and ensure that data collection and identity verification processes meet regulatory requirements and internal policies.

What is a KYC solution?

A KYC solution is a dedicated software platform designed to help organizations manage and streamline customer due diligence and regulatory compliance. These platforms typically offer features like automated document collection, identity verification, risk scoring, centralized data storage and audit trails, making it easier to ensure ongoing compliance with AML regulations and internal governance standards.

How do you manage KYC effectively?

Managing KYC effectively requires a combination of automation, oversight and secure data handling. With a configurable KYC platform, organizations can tailor workflows to different entity types, track compliance status across teams, and adapt quickly to changing regulatory requirements.
