Orbital Partners with Know Your Customer to Enhance Onboarding and Compliance in Global Payments

Last Updated on:

Orbital, a global payment platform supporting both stablecoin and traditional cross-border transactions, has announced a new strategic partnership with Know Your Customer, a recognised leader in KYB and digital onboarding solutions. This collaboration significantly boosts Orbital’s compliance capabilities, offering greater transparency, security, and speed in onboarding while strengthening overall regulatory integrity.

As stablecoins continue their rise into the financial mainstream, firms working at the intersection of digital assets and traditional finance face increasing scrutiny from regulators. Know Your Customer offers powerful real-time business verification tools and access to official company registries across 140 countries—capabilities that Orbital identified as essential to supporting its international compliance needs. The focus on authentic documentary evidence further distinguished Know Your Customer as the right fit.

Claus Christensen, CEO and Co-Founder of Know Your Customer, said: “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 integrating Know Your Customer’s advanced verification systems, Orbital can offer quicker onboarding times without sacrificing its stringent compliance standards. “Compliance isn’t about ticking boxes – it’s about ensuring the businesses we work with are legitimate and trustworthy,” explained Gary Mushrow, Head of Compliance Product at Orbital. “With Know Your Customer now part of our compliance stack, we are setting a new benchmark for secure and seamless cross-border transactions.”

Since its founding in 2017, Orbital has grown into a major player in cross-border payments, operating from offices in London, Gibraltar, and Tallinn. The company processed over $5.6 billion in transactions in 2024, spanning both fiat and stablecoin payments. Orbital operates under a robust regulatory framework, including UK FCA authorisation, Gibraltar EMI and DLT licensing, Estonian VASP registration, and Swiss VQF SRO membership.
