Zero Hash Selects Alessa for Name and Customer Screening

TORONTO and NEW YORK, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tier1 Financial Solutions, a leading provider of client relationship management, compliance and fraud prevention solutions, has announced that Zero Hash has selected Alessa to meet its name and customer screening needs to enhance its compliance to anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.

Zero Hash provides a settlement infrastructure for platforms, such as app-based brokerages, to offer virtual currency trading for their users. With Zero Hash, businesses in the United States and Canada can have instantaneous cross border payments and eliminate complexity of moving assets for the world's largest liquidity providers.

"As a registered money services business (MSB), Zero Hash screens prospective users and customers. Our decision to use Alessa with World-Check will enable us to more easily verify that anyone using Zero Hash's settlement infrastructure is not engaged in unauthorized transactions," said Stephen Gardner, Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel at Zero Hash.

"Financial regulators have clearly stated that MSBs and exchangers and administrators of digital currencies must maintain an effective AML compliance program," said Andrew Simpson, Chief Operating Officer of Alessa at Tier1 Financial Solutions. "The decision by Zero Hash to use Alessa will allow them to easily screen payment senders and receivers, investigate and confirm matches to sanctions and watch lists and track steps taken during the investigation for effectiveness reviews and examinations."

MSBs, banks, credit unions and other types of financial institutions trust Alessa to meet their compliance obligations and fraud prevention needs.
