The Results

Seamless Onboarding, High Levels of Trust and a

Successful ICO

With Trulioo, this ICO was able to quickly integrate and

access data from over 60 countries, verifying more

than 2,500 investors in real-time so it could purchase

tokens at the time of launch. To add an additional layer

of security and speed to its identity authentication

process, the ICO also leveraged the Trulioo Identity

Document Verification service to overcome the hurdles

other ICOs and exchanges experienced with manual

verifications. ICOs and exchanges that manually verified

investors oftentimes resulted in pausing token sales and

temporarily ceasing operations, which took weeks and

even months in some cases.

Using Trulioo technology, it was able to meet the

necessary compliance standards with ease while

also providing a seamless customer onboarding

experience — two extremely important factors for any

business. Because it was striving to be fully compliant,

it was critical the ICO chose a provider that it was

100 percent confident with and that had substantial

experience and expertise working with clients in

regulated industries. The company issued nearly two

million coins, allowing purchasers to buy products and

services from accredited companies, complete peer-to-

peer payments, and earn interest by supporting impact

entrepreneurs through microlending, crowdlending

and P2P lending relationships.

This ICO, along with many other businesses and

services, was facing the challenge of becoming

regulatory compliant and turned to Trulioo for its

digital identity verification and identity document

authentication needs. As a result, it ensured a higher

degree of protection for not only its participants, but its

investors too, establishing a high degree of trust in its

product and company.

About ICOs

Tied to the fascinating worlds of blockchain

and cryptocurrency technology, an ICO is a

fundraising mechanism in which new projects

sell payment, utility or security tokens, which

later become tradable on an exchange.

The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory

Authority (FINMA) describes payment tokens

as being synonymous with cryptocurrencies,

while utility tokens are used to provide access

to an application or service and security or

asset tokens are similar to equities, bonds or

derivatives.
