It enables institutions to meet their global regulatory obligations for customer identification, know-you-customer, ongoing monitoring and vendor risk management.

Steve Goldstein, Alacra’s founder and CEO, said: “For our teams in New York and London this award is a fantastic recognition of the work we do. The information we collect, research and maintain allows Alacra to help its clients become more efficient and meet a growing number of regulatory requirements. The primary information we provide for client onboarding, legal entity identification, KYC and the subsequent risk management is the foundation layer for a financial institution and it has to be correct. We are delighted to win such a recognized industry award.”
