KYC localizing with Japanese regulations
Liquid provides a comprehensive solution for identity verification that combines document and appearance capture with the highest level of accuracy and judgment.
Compliant with Japanese regulations
In Japan, there is a strong emphasis on AML (Anti-Money Laundering) measures.

We offer the highest level of identity verification, tailored to meet the standards and processes your business requires.
