Target Markets
A growing digital wallet company serving 220,000+ users across the UK provided P2P payments, card-linked wallets, loyalty credits, and international top-ups.
As volumes increased, system stability and FCA-aligned compliance became mandatory. Users faced delays, failed transactions, and inconsistent balances.
Internal teams struggled with audit prep, manual reconciliations, and rising fraud checks. To scale in the UK and expand into the EU, the wallet needed real-time reliability and automated compliance.
The Problem
Multiple critical issues impacting user trust, partner confidence, and scaling abilit
Wallet Instability
Balance mismatches, ledger drift during peak hours
Slow Onboarding
Multiple KYC providers caused 1–2 minute processing times
AML Overload
False positives and manual SAR creation slowed compliance
Delayed Settlements
Recon & payouts required 3–4 hours daily of manual adjustments
Weak Audit Trails
FCA reporting became stressful and error-prone
Scaling Bottlenecks
Infrastructure struggled with transaction spikes

- • Legacy KYC tools: Couldn't handle peak volume or reduce drop-offs
- • Manual compliance workflows: Created delays and operational risk
