We are excited to announce the global launch of FinchScan, marking a major expansion of our regulatory footprint and geographic reach. Our powerful platform now supports global data-protection requirements across key markets, including the European Union’s GDPR, India’s DPDPA, and applicable PDPL requirements across Gulf markets. This milestone positions us to serve regulated businesses in some of the world’s most closely watched data protection markets.
“This launch marks a significant step in FinchSCAN’s global expansion. By supporting GDPR requirements alongside other key data-protection frameworks, we enable our clients to perform digital onboarding, identity verification and AML screening with greater confidence. We built this expansion around the regulatory realities of the markets we serve, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.” said Mr. Basil Salah, Managing Director at Finch Innovate.
Expanded Regulatory Compliance
Our global compliance framework now aligns with three of the most influential data protection regimes in the world:
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) — the European Union’s data protection standard, widely regarded as the global benchmark for privacy law.
- PDPL (Personal Data Protection Law) — the data protection framework adopted across several Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, governing how personal data is collected, processed, and stored.
- DPDPA (Digital Personal Data Protection Act) — India’s comprehensive data protection legislation governing the processing of personal data.
This tri-framework compliance lets us support clients operating across jurisdictions with materially different data handling, consent, and cross-border transfer requirements without compromising on regulatory requirements in any single market.
FinchScan Platform Capabilities
FinchScan is not a single check platform, it is a complete compliance workflow from digital onboarding to screening and ongoing monitoring. Here is what businesses get across each category:
Digital Onboarding for Individuals and Corporates
- Self-onboarding for customers — end users can complete identity verification themselves, without needing an agent or manual review to get started.
- Liveness checks — real-time checks to confirm the person completing onboarding is physically present, helping prevent spoofing and identity fraud.
- Document validation — IDs, passports, and other documents are checked for authenticity to confirm they’re genuine and untampered.
- KYB (Know Your Business) — for businesses onboarding corporate clients, FinchScan validates corporate entities, and authorized representatives as part of the same workflow.
AML Screening for Individuals and Corporates
- Global sanctions and PEP screening — users can screen individuals and entities against global and local sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEP) databases, and adverse media sources for any country.
- Real-time ongoing monitoring — AML screening is not a one-time check at onboarding; clients can re-screen customers on an ongoing basis to catch emerging risks.
Looking Ahead
Our current multi-region KYC footprint is just the first phase of a broader rollout. We will continue adding markets as we secure regulatory certifications in more jurisdictions.
