TEL AVIV, Israel and MEXICO CITY, March 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Fondeadora, Mexico's fastest-growing challenger bank, today announced that it has selected AU10TIX, the global leader in identity verification, to boost the speed and security of its customer onboarding and ongoing due diligence processes. The partnership combines the simplicity of Fondeadora's digital banking app with AU10TIX's deep experience in automating ID authentication and KYC flows for the financial sector, enabling a safer, more accessible financial service option for millions of Mexicans.

The Mexican fintech industry is operating in a highly regulated environment that requires strict compliance to local KYC/AML regulations; it's also the second biggest in Latin America and one of the fastest growing in the world, given about 65 million users who are still using cash for most of their transactions.
