Orbital, a prominent platform for global stablecoin and traditional payments, has announced a new strategic alliance with Know Your Customer, an award-winning provider of KYB and digital onboarding solutions. The partnership is designed to fortify Orbital’s compliance systems, supporting faster client onboarding and bolstering the security and transparency of cross-border transactions.
With stablecoins entering mainstream use, regulatory frameworks are tightening. Businesses operating in hybrid financial environments must adopt compliance tools that can keep pace. Know Your Customer is known for its real-time business verification capabilities and access to company registries across more than 140 countries. This global reach, combined with a strong focus on verified documentation, played a crucial role in Orbital’s decision to collaborate.
Claus Christensen, CEO and Co-Founder of Know Your Customer, commented: “Orbital’s forward-thinking approach to stablecoin and traditional cross-border transactions aligns perfectly with our mission of empowering businesses through best-in-class KYC/AML compliance technology. By integrating our advanced business verification and automation solutions, we’re confident that together we’ll set a new benchmark for frictionless, secure global payments that can meet—and exceed—regulatory expectations worldwide.”
By adopting Know Your Customer’s advanced verification tools, Orbital is now able to improve onboarding efficiency while preserving the highest standards of regulatory diligence. Gary Mushrow, Head of Compliance Product at Orbital, said: “Compliance isn’t about ticking boxes – it’s about ensuring the businesses we work with are legitimate and trustworthy. With Know Your Customer now part of our compliance stack, we are setting a new benchmark for secure and seamless cross-border transactions.”
Founded in 2017, Orbital is based in London, Tallinn, and Gibraltar, with a global workforce of over 120. In 2024, it handled more than $5.6 billion in cross-border transactions, both fiat and stablecoin.
