KYC Automation for High-Volume, Low-Value Transactions
Curious if anyone has insights on effective KYC automation for platforms dealing with a massive volume of relatively low-value transactions, particularly in cross-border payments. The cost-benefit seems tricky to balance, especially with varying jurisdictional requirements. How are firms minimizing friction while still catching potential AML red flags without over-flagging legitimate activity?

This is a great question. One approach I've seen is leveraging consortium-based KYC utilities or shared ledgers to reduce the per-transaction cost of identity verification across multiple institutions, especially for repeat customers in certain corridors. It's not a silver bullet, but it can help distribute the burden.
