KYC Automation for high-volume CFD platforms – any real-world wins?

We're all seeing the push for more robust KYC/AML, particularly with the regulators breathing down everyone's necks on CFDs. My team's been wrestling with our current KYC process – it's still far too manual for the onboarding volumes we're seeing, especially with global clientele. We're spending too much time on edge cases and false positives.

I'm curious if anyone here has successfully implemented a truly effective automated KYC solution for a high-volume CFD platform. Not just the basic ID verification, but something that genuinely cuts down the manual review burden for complex profiles, diverse jurisdictions, and those trickier AML red flags. Are there any vendors or in-house solutions that actually deliver on the promise of efficiency without compromising compliance or creating new operational headaches down the line? Or is it still mostly marketing fluff out there? Let's be blunt.
