Lemonway Unveils Online Onboarding Solution for Marketplaces, Powered by Entrust Identity Verification Solution

Lemonway, a leading European payment institution, proudly announces the launch of Online Onboarding, an innovative solution designed to streamline and enhance the merchant onboarding process for marketplaces.

This turnkey solution offers a seamless, automated onboarding process, combining Lemonway’s expertise in payments with Entrust ETSI-certified identity verification with Qualified Electronic Signature (QES), powered by Entrust’s Onfido Identity Verification soluton.  As a result, marketplaces rely on Lemonway to secure the complex, compliance-driven onboarding journey, ensuring a secure and efficient experience for their merchants.

  • Regulatory Compliance: The solution adheres to stringent European KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations, reducing the risk of non-compliance, through ETSI-certified identity verification technology and Qualified Electronic Signature (ETSI).
  • Scalable and Future-Ready: Features like document automation, PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) checks, and intuitive dashboards ensure adaptability as businesses expand.
