Identity verification and AML checks are now highly sophisticated.
Ukraine conflict highlights the importance of sanctions screening.
Op-ed
FX brokers have to walk a very fine line between keeping the customer experience as frictionless as possible and complying with applicable legislation. This is even more important at the sign-up and onboarding stage, as this is the customer’s first interaction and will determine whether they choose to return.
KYC Is Key in Retail FX
As previously explained, Know Your Customer (KYC) is an important process for the retail FX industry.
It is also a vital component of the FX global code, one of whose principles states that ‘Market participants should perform KYC checks on their counterparties to ascertain that their transactions are not used to facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing, or other criminal activities’.
As a result, market participants are expected to have appropriate measures to enforce the KYC principle.
In response, brokers are automating their KYC and compliance process to match their jurisdictions and establish streamlined procedures for their compliance teams to work with.

This includes the addition of AI-driven pre-checks on traders' submitted documentation, which provides the broker with a preliminary diagnosis of the documents provided and the ability to set up the specific documentation required from their traders.
“The introduction of embedded logic in documents and features that allow for the identification of traders through the use of selfies and other easy-to-obtain criteria allow brokers to take an innovative approach to procedures that may be considered tiresome or even intimidating to end users,” says Ghandour.
Brokers Need to Modernize KYC Process
Traders are continuously informed and experienced with various brokerages throughout their trading life cycle. An outdated KYC procedure or a procedure that doesn't feel safe to end users will hurt brokers that choose to reduce costs on this aspect of their operation or postpone implementing new and updated onboarding and KYC procedures.
Features, such as automated identity and address verification, have become a staple of client onboarding. Knowing which solutions to implement suggests Remonda Kirketerp-Møller, the Founder and CEO of the client onboarding platform developer, Muinmos.
“For example, a lot of solutions state they check ‘address verification,’ but all they do is verify that the supplied address exists, not that the person who supplied it is registered as living there,” she says. “So I can say I live in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC, and pass the check, even though I am not the President of the United States.”
Christina Iracleous, the CMO at FX Back Office, a developer of CRM solutions for FX brokers, notes that all her company’s clients are working with third-party KYC providers as part of their due diligence.

“Some brokers have adopted the optical character recognition (OCR) mechanism to scan and process texts,” she adds.
The sanctions imposed on individuals and entities following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 were a reminder of the importance of sanctions screening within the customer onboarding process.
Many brokers have had to adjust their KYC procedures based on regulatory requirements, data protection laws, and target audience requirements that are constantly evolving.
Most rely on an automated screening provider integrated into their flow, either directly or via their client onboarding platform. Numerous providers in this space use similar terms but provide very different services.
“Some providers will only update their database monthly, while others won't let you determine the match rates (in other words, the ‘sensitivity’ to alerts), so you either get too few alerts or too many,” says Kirketerp-Møller. “It is therefore important not only to have an automated solution but also one that produces sound results.”
From a risk perspective, brokers need to balance the requirement for checks with the desire to make the sign-up process as smooth as possible. This is what Muinmos refers to as the ‘consumer compliance conflict,’ where clients want a simple, registration-like onboarding process.
“There are three options here,” says Kirketerp-Møller. “The first is to bother the client with a long, unintelligently designed process and lose them as a result. The second is not to comply with regulations and eventually lose your license. The third is to automate and intelligently design the process, so even though it is fully compliant, it only takes a couple of minutes from end to end.”
Unsurprisingly the third option is the preferred one, especially when regulators are tightening their supervision and clients are aware of the importance of selecting a broker that has robust regulatory processes in place.
KYC Must be Simple and Easy
Information and clarity for the end user are essential factors. Suppose the broker’s KYC procedure and onboarding steps are easy to understand, logically built in terms of user interface and user experience, and provide the client with information on why documentation is requested. In that case, it should all make sense to the trader.
“This can even create a greater sense of security that they have made the correct decision in entrusting their trading activity to this broker,” says Ghandour. “Of course, the broker should also back up these steps and requirements with the proper policies and legal documentation in an organized and easy to reach the legal section on their website or interface.”
According to Gergo Varga, the Content Manager at fraud management solution developer Seon, some FX brokers are hesitant to implement more than the minimum acceptable KYC verification process because, although they don’t want to lose their license, there is so much competition across the industry, and customers have such a low tolerance for friction, that the brokers feel it is not worth the risk.

Paul Golden is an experienced freelance financial journalist with a strong institutional background. Over the past two decades, he has written for globally recognised financial publications, covering topics such as market structure, regulation, trading behaviour, and economic policy.
In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
