Vertalo and InvestReady to Address Verification / Accreditation

Partnering

Vertalo has announced that they have forged a strategic partnership with InvestReady. This alliance will see Vertalo integrate services, offered by InvestReady, which are tailor-built to streamline processes surrounding the verification and accreditation of investors.

Verification and Accreditation

One of the main differentiators between simple utility tokens and the various forms of digital securities are the regulations that are enforced upon the latter. Two of the biggest areas of concern are the verification and accreditation of investors.

With the sale of digital securities typically restricted to accredited investors only, it is of vital importance for issuing companies to ensure they only sell to the appropriate parties. This, however, is an exhausting process, which has resulted in various companies developing specialized services to streamline the proceedings.

In recent months, we have reported on a variety of the advent of these services aimed towards verification and accreditation. The following are a few examples of this, in addition to the partnership discussed here today.

Notably, Prime Trust recently announced that they would be utilizing a series of other services provided by, none other than, Vertalo. Between this past announcement, and that of today’s, this pairing of companies appear well suited for one another.

Dave Hendricks, CEO of Vertalo, stated,

“Our clients are expanding at a scale we’ve not seen in the past.

“The impact that this integrated partnership will have on the digital asset investor experience will be unprecedented. While this integrated partnership will reduce expenses associated with the verifying and maintaining of an investor’s accreditation stats throughout the lifetime of the investment, the automation of InvestReady’s investor accreditation processes integrated into Vertalo’s ground breaking Travel Rule compliant ‘Passport’ API is necessary for the liquidity of digital assets on secondary exchanges.”
