Tikl and Entrust: Streamlining AML Compliance with Integrated Identity Verification and Digital Signing

While Tikl had built a strong foundation in automating compliance workflows, one key gap remained: the lack of integrated identity verification and digital signing within its platform.

This created several challenges for Tikl and its customers:

• UBO declarations had to be manually signed and verified, requiring in-person ID checks and paper-based processes.
• Documents were printed, physically signed, scanned, and re-uploaded, creating inefficiencies and delays.
• Identity verification depended on limited solutions like iDIN, leaving gaps for users without access to Dutch banking systems.
• Organizations were forced to rely on multiple external tools for verification and signing, resulting in fragmented workflows.
• Manual processes increased compliance risk and created a poor end-user experience during onboarding and approval flows.

Tikl needed a solution that could combine identity verification and digital signing within its platform, while supporting compliance with eIDAS, GDPR, and other European regulatory frameworks. At the same time, the solution needed to deliver an intuitive, streamlined experience for end users.

To address these challenges, Tikl integrated Entrust Identity Verification (IDV) and Entrust eSignature (formerly Signhost) directly into its platform, helping Tikl to create a unified, compliant workflow for onboarding, verification, and contract execution.

Key elements of the solution include:

• Integrated identity verification to confirm the identity of individuals during new client onboarding.
• Digital signing to ensure legally binding contract execution aligned with eIDAS requirements.
• API-based integration, embedding verification and signing directly into Tikl’s automated workflows.
• Trigger-based orchestration, where IDV and signing are initiated automatically after compliance checks are completed.
• Support for iDIN and Entrust verification flows, enabling broader coverage across user types and geographies.
• Familiar user experience, leveraging widely recognized verification flows to improve trust and completion rates.

By embedding Entrust capabilities directly into its platform, Tikl ensures that identity verification and signing occur at the exact point they are needed, and when the new customer is expecting them—eliminating manual steps and disconnected processes.

This integration allows organizations to verify not only who an individual is, but also whether they are authorized to act and sign on behalf of a company, reducing both legal and compliance risks.

With Entrust fully integrated into its compliance platform, Tikl has transformed how its customers manage AML and onboarding workflows.

Results achieved include:

• Tens of thousands of documents digitally signed and identities verified through the platform.
• Elimination of manual ID checks, paper-based signing, and document rescanning.
• A unified, all-in-one compliance solution covering KYC, AML, ID verification, and signing.
• Significant time savings for customers by removing repetitive compliance tasks.
• Higher completion rates driven by trusted, familiar verification experiences.
• Increased scalability, enabling Tikl to support larger clients and more complex compliance needs.

These improvements have allowed Tikl to deliver measurable efficiency gains while strengthening compliance and reducing operational risk.

Entrust has become a foundational component of Tikl’s ability to provide a complete, automated AML compliance solution.

Tikl continues to invest in further automation of AML processes, with a strong focus on leveraging AI to enhance compliance workflows and decision-making.

As part of this strategy, Tikl plans to expand identity and signing capabilities by incorporating additional digital identity solutions and wallets. These innovations will further streamline identification and authorization processes while maintaining compliance with evolving regulatory standards.

Entrust will continue to play a key role in this growth, providing secure, scalable identity verification and digital signing capabilities that support Tikl’s vision of fully automated, end to end compliance workflows.
