Partner Ecosystem¶
Definition¶
The network of partners that eKYC providers work with — data providers, system integrators, technology partners, and channel partners.
Partner Types¶
| Partner Type | Examples | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Data providers | World-Check, Dow Jones, LexisNexis | Sanctions, PEP, adverse media data |
| Database verification | UIDAI, NSDL, credit bureaus, DVS | Government identity verification APIs |
| System integrators | Deloitte, Accenture, TCS | Enterprise implementation, compliance consulting |
| Technology partners | AWS, Azure, GCP | Cloud infrastructure, AI services |
| Channel partners | Core banking vendors (Temenos, Finastra) | Pre-integrated into banking platforms |
| Industry bodies | FIDO Alliance, OpenID Foundation, DIF | Standards participation, credibility |

- Core banking integrations (Temenos, Finastra) provide distribution to banks
- System integrators drive enterprise adoption — they recommend and implement eKYC vendors
- Building a partner ecosystem is as important as building the product
