KYC Automation for Scale - Any 'gotchas' for smaller fintechs?

It's always the 'gotchas' that make you question why you didn't just stick with manual spreadsheet checks. The shiny demos rarely show the late-night calls to support trying to figure out why a 'seamless' API integration just decided to take a holiday.

The biggest 'gotcha' for smaller fintechs is usually data quality from their own systems when feeding into these automated KYC tools. If your customer data isn't clean, you'll spend more time fixing bad matches and false positives than you save on automation.
