WIDTH Pte. Ltd. ("WIDTH") and Ping An OneConnect CRA (Hong Kong) Limited ("PAOCCRA") are pleased to announce a strategic partnership.
As financial institutions expand across markets, cross-border activities bring increasingly complex requirements around customer verification, credit assessment, financial crime prevention and regulatory compliance. The partnership addresses these challenges by combining complementary data and compliance capabilities into more comprehensive solutions for financial institutions.
Combining differentiated capabilities for cross-border compliance
PAOCCRA provides credit reference and risk management services backed by three decades of financial risk control experience, spanning credit reference, bankruptcy scoring, eKYC, fraud detection and cross-border verification.
WIDTH complements this with an integrated compliance platform covering KYC, KYB, transaction monitoring, fraud detection and ongoing due diligence, supported by AI-powered workflows — bringing together capabilities that are otherwise hard to find in one place in the Hong Kong market.
From complementary capabilities to joint solutions
Beyond individual products, WIDTH and PAOCCRA see strong potential to develop joint solutions for specific cross-border use cases.
WIDTH's compliance engine and AI-powered review capabilities will be embedded as a value-added module within PAOCCRA's solution suite for financial institution clients, extending PAOCCRA's offering from credit risk assessment into broader compliance support.
The two companies will also pursue complementary data initiatives: PAOCCRA's data resources across mainland China and Southeast Asia will help extend WIDTH's Asia-Pacific data coverage, while WIDTH's global KYB reports will be made available for resale through PAOCCRA's network. Beyond existing offerings, the two firms plan to jointly develop solutions tailored to specific cross-border scenarios, packaging their combined data and compliance capabilities to support financial institutions' international expansion.
Building stronger infrastructure for cross-border finance
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting financial institutions in an increasingly interconnected financial environment, while strengthening the infrastructure required for trusted, compliant and efficient cross-border financial services.
