Entities

An entity is a distinct object or instance, such as a person or organization, that has been modeled and stored within a database. An entity includes all relevant data and relationships associated with that person or organization.

Any person or organization that is related to your business will now get an automatically created profile in the database. This allows your business to see all data on each person or organization and all related activities in one place. It's also a single-source-of-truth for any monitored updates that we might find to this person or organization.

• Fresh data, updated daily
• Monitor what you want, when you want it
• Create granular monitoring rules to get only what you need

Multi-checks for KYB

With the regulatory landscape and modus operandi of criminals constantly changing, it requires businesses not only to have robust Know Your Business (KYB) procedures in place but also to have the flexibility to change a procedure if new risks are identified to ensure compliance, work proactively, and build trusted relationships with customers and supervisors. At Bits Technology, we’re proud to announce the integration of multi-checks for KYB within our onboarding procedures.

What does this mean for our customers and partners? It means a profound due diligence procedure through multiple layers of verification, ensuring that every business we onboard undergoes thorough scrutiny, aligning with global regulatory standards. This not only safeguards our customers' fight against financial crime but also fosters transparency and trust in all our relationships.

Key benefits of our multi-checks KYB approach include:

  • Enhanced Risk Management: Identifying potential risks associated with customers’ businesses early in the onboarding process.

  • Compliance Assurance: Adhering to regulatory requirements across jurisdictions with comprehensive due diligence.

  • Efficiency Gains: Streamlining onboarding without compromising thoroughness, reducing turnaround times.

Request bank account information

Add a step to your workflow where you request the user's bank account information. Currently, it's a manual input where the user will be able to insert either a Swedish bank account (clearing + account number) or an international IBAN account.

The user's answer will either populate in a new tab in your Applications, under "Bank account information" or get it through our API.

Link to our API reference for this new step: https://docs.bits.bi/api-reference/endpoints#list-bank-accounts-on-an-application

User journey

We've been designing, building, and testing a new feature: User Journey. This lets you see a breakdown of an application and how it was executed. It allows you to see detailed information if it was successful, and if not, what went wrong and where.

Creating a workflow is all great and fun, but seeing a detailed report of how a user clicked through that workflow is extremely satisfying. This lets you get a detailed understanding of what the user did, and how it went. Maybe all users make a stop on one of your specific steps? Then you'll know. Getting an error when uploading a document? Now you'll know which and where.

Seeing when, where, and why users might drop off lets you alter and improve your workflow. If you see any errors, you have a detailed understanding of that and can get support to improve and solve it.

We've released it, and it's up to you now to follow all your user journeys. Take a seat, grab the popcorn, and enjoy seeing the flows of your users.
