Binance Teams Up with AWS for Faster KYC Verification

Binance announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enhance its Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process through generative artificial intelligence.

This new system automates user data entry, validates addresses, and improves screenings against World-Check reviews.

The integration has reportedly led to a 95% recognition rate for user information, an 80% reduction in optical character recognition costs, a 6% increase in proof-of-address approvals across 107 jurisdictions, and a 30% decrease in screening time against the World-Check database.

Binance’s chief technology officer, Rohit Wad, indicated plans to expand the use of AWS technologies in areas like customer service and compliance.

Despite a tough regulatory landscape, founder Changpeng Zhao expressed optimism about improving attitudes toward cryptocurrency regulation in the U.S. He referenced recent comments from former President Trump at the 2024 Bitcoin conference as indicative of a positive trend and noted growing bipartisan support for the crypto sector among lawmakers.

Zhao’s optimism is further supported by the release of Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan from Nigerian custody after seven months. He was initially arrested on charges of money laundering and tax evasion, but the remaining allegations were dropped on October 23.
