It’s hard to believe that 2019 is already coming to an end.
With 6 award wins (and 20 award nominations), 31 speaking engagements at international events and a 35+% team growth across all continents, the last 12 months have been incredibly busy, inspiring and exciting for all of us at Know Your Customer.
To wrap up 2019, we have compiled a quick overview of the top stories we have shared with the KYC community on LinkedIn and Twitter throughout the year. Take a look!

Our CEO’s interview with FinTech Finance at Sibos 2019
Since starting out as a banking operations seminar in 1978, Sibos has grown into one of the world’s most important annual gatherings for the world of financial services. The 2019 edition, which took place in London, brought together 10,000+ attendees to discuss how financial institutions can be “thriving in a hyper-connected world”. During the event, where Know Your Customer exhibited in September, our CEO Claus Christensen was featured in a special interview with Fintech Finance.
