ComplyAdvantage and AptPay Partnership Announcement

TORONTO and NEW YORK, July 6, 2020 – Apt Pay, a Canadian Fintech which enables digital payouts to be sent on multiple rails, today announced its partnership with ComplyAdvantage. The partnership will enable Apt Pay to build a best-in-class operation using ComplyAdvantage’s suite of financial crime detection tools ahead of Apt Pay’s launch this summer.

The partnership allows Apt Pay to power payment services for businesses across a network of connected financial institutions and combined payment rails while screening for anti-money laundering (AML) and anti-terrorist financing (ATF) obligations designated by FINTRAC and other regulatory bodies. ComplyAdvantage’s suite of financial crime detection tools seamlessly integrates into Apt Pay’s workflow, maximizing straight-thru-processing while reducing risk.

“ComplyAdvantage’s vision is to take on and neutralize the risk of money laundering, terrorist financing, corruption and all other global financial crimes,” said Vatsa Narasimha, COO of ComplyAdvantage. “We are confident our global, connected database powering world-leading financial crime detection tools will be able to provide a scalable solution for Apt Pay as they expand across Canada.”

Apt Pay’s platform allows payouts to be made to customers seamlessly in real time, safely, and without friction. Looking for innovative partners, ComplyAdvantage’s products allow Apt Pay to screen transactions with the speed and efficiency necessary to provide best-in-class payment processing.

“Apt Pay has the vision of a simple, safe and secure transaction. We have taken the processing of a payment and sped it up, so that in an environment like Covid, where everyone needs their money in real-time, they can actually get it. No more having to wait 2-3 days for a payment. Apt Pay has partnered with ComplyAdvantage to make compliance a seamless process. ComplyAdvantage empowers us to comprehend the real risk of who we’re doing business with, and helps us prevent risk events occurring within our payments ecosystem” said Suganthan V. Krisnarajah, Chief Executive Officer of Apt Pay.
