idv was born out of a lack of solutions in the market place to meet the challenges faced when working as MLROs or Compliance Officers. idv was inspired by the knowledge
that compliance can be commercially beneficial; the better you understand the rules and regulations that govern your industry or region, the easier it is to succeed
as a business.
idv's management team has faced the same operational pitfalls as our clients - how can we get as many customers through the door as possible whilst not exposing the business to increased operational and compliance risks? With that in mind, the management team have created idv - technology, coupled with operational support, designed to ensure the most effective and compliant independent verification service in the market.
