About Trading 212
Trading 212 is a UK-based financial technology company that provides a mobile application and website for trading stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. As a fast-growing online trading platform, Trading 212 serves a large customer base, requiring an efficient and secure onboarding process to verify new users. Given the high volume of transactions and regulatory requirements, verifying payment cards and proof of residence is a crucial step in maintaining compliance and preventing fraud.
The Challenges of Manual Payment Card and Proof of Residence Verification
Before implementing Klippa, Trading 212 relied on a manual process to validate payment cards and proof of residence documents. This approach was time-consuming, often causing delays in user onboarding. Mismatched names, missing data, and inconsistent document formats can lead to frequent rejections, frustrating users and increasing customer support workload. The inefficiencies in manual validation result in longer processing times and additional back-and-forth communication between users and support teams.
