ARGOS supports global eKYC. With support for IDs from more than 230 countries, ARGOS enables eKYC for foreign nationals living in a wide range of countries beyond the United States. For more information on ID Types, see here.

You can even customize your eKYC experience for international users with options such as blacklisted countries and IP blocks that can be used anywhere in the world.

During the KYC process, users need to provide a valid ID to begin the KYC. OCR technology will scan the information shown on the government-issued ID card. Not only that, AI technology will compare and match the similarity of the user’s face between the ID card and a selfie photo. A valid ID document must include a face photo, full name, date, and year of birth. If the necessary information is divided into the front and back of your ID card, users need to take pictures of both sides. You can read more about ARGOS KYC here.

Argos' Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) systems are designed on a global basis. The watchlist filtering used for AML uses the same sources as Mastercard, and is designed to be easily visible to regulators through a regulatory flag system and individual reports. You can learn  more about WatchList-based AML here.
