BlindPay is a fast-growing fintech that helps online merchants and digital-first platforms accept and settle cross-border payments in 40+ currencies. Operating from a single hub, the company supports thousands of micro-transactions every hour, moving funds between consumers, gig-economy workers, and marketplace sellers spread across more than 120 countries. BlindPay prides itself on sleek user experiences-instant payouts, no-surprise fees, and a self-serve dashboard that hid the messy plumbing of international money movement.

The Challenge

Manual identity verification stretched onboarding times from minutes to days, often requiring back-and-forth emails to collect additional documents. Separate internal tools managed sanctions checks, corporate registry lookups, and watch-list screening, leaving analysts to toggle between dashboards and consolidate results in spreadsheets. Also, BlindPay lacked real-time visibility into customer risk. A sudden spike in sign-ups from a high-risk region could go unnoticed for hours, time during which fraudsters might funnel funds through the platform. The compliance backlog ballooned, legitimate customers grew impatient, and the sales team complained that verification bottlenecks were costing BlindPay as much as 15 percent of monthly revenue. Leadership faced a painful trade-off: hire aggressively to enlarge the compliance team, or invest in technology that could automate the bulk of due-diligence tasks without sacrificing accuracy or regulatory coverage.

The Solution

The AiPrise API integrated into BlindPay’s existing onboarding flow, automatically branching between KYC and KYB journeys based on the customer’s entity type and jurisdiction. The platform’s unified rules engine combined ID document verification, biometric liveness checks, corporate registry pulls, sanctions/PEP screening, and adverse-media monitoring under a single roof. Instead of stitching together five separate tools, BlindPay’s developers integrated one SDK and gained a real-time dashboard that surfaced actionable risk scores for every applicant. AiPrise’s customer-success team co-created bespoke decision matrices, ensuring that Blind Pay could instantly clear low-risk users while automatically escalating edge cases, high-risk geographies, opaque ownership structures to a human reviewer. Implementation took less than three weeks, and feature toggles allowed the compliance lead to adjust thresholds without another line of code.

The Impact

The impact was immediate and measurable. Within the first month, AiPrise automated more than 90 percent of all KYC and KYB checks. Individual user verification time fell from an average of eight minutes to under twenty seconds, while business verification dropped from a full business day to roughly three hours. Faster onboarding translated into a 2.3x increase in completed sign-ups and a 40 percent boost in first-month transaction volume. At the same time, Blind Pay’s exposure to fraud shrank: real-time screening caught synthetic IDs that previously slipped through manual reviews, and continuous monitoring flagged companies that were later added to sanctions lists. Operationally, the lean compliance team now spends its time on genuinely complex investigations rather than rote data entry. Blind Pay avoided an estimated $180,000 in annual salaries it would otherwise have spent on additional analysts.

“What stood out the most about Aiprise was the combination of flexible technology, full coverage, and responsive support. The platform adapted to our workflow and gave us the speed we needed to scale without compromising security. It's rare to find a compliance solution that’s both robust and easy to integrate into daily operations.”

Why They Chose AiPrise

Blind Pay chose AiPrise for three reasons: flexibility, global coverage, and hands-on support. Beyond the raw numbers, Blind Pay values AiPrise’s technical maturity and partnership mindset. The platform’s modular design lets product managers experiment. For example, tightening liveness thresholds in one market while loosening document-type requirements in another without engineering sprints. AiPrise’s global data coverage (150+ countries and counting) future-proofs Blind Pay’s expansion roadmap into Latin America and the Middle East, and the vendor’s 24-hour SLA means urgent policy changes go live overnight. Looking ahead, Blind Pay plans to extend AiPrise to transaction-level AML monitoring, closing the loop from onboarding to ongoing surveillance. In short, AiPrise turned compliance from a growth blocker into a growth enabler: customers join faster, fraud is caught earlier, and the business scales without ballooning headcount, a win-win that cements Blind Pay’s promise of frictionless global payments.
