Singapore, 25 August 2026 — WIDTH, an AI-native compliance and risk decision intelligence platform, today announced a partnership with Regula, a global developer of identity verification solutions. The collaboration will help compliance teams connect trusted identity evidence with risk and compliance decisions throughout the customer lifecycle.
The collaboration integrates Regula Document Reader SDK with the WIDTH platform. Verified identity data collected during onboarding can therefore become part of a customer's broader risk profile. Compliance teams can connect identity evidence with sanctions and PEP screening, KYB information, transaction monitoring, investigations, case management and audit records.
Bridging the gap between identity verification and ongoing compliance
Identity verification is a critical part of customer onboarding. However, its value should not end once a verification result has been generated.
Regula's latest global research found that nearly four in ten organisations struggle to explain identity-based decisions during audits and regulatory reviews. One contributing challenge is that identity verification evidence can remain isolated from the compliance processes that follow onboarding.
Through the integration, Regula's identity verification capabilities can feed into WIDTH's broader compliance decisioning environment. Organisations can retain a clearer connection between identity evidence, customer risk and subsequent compliance decisions.
This connection is particularly relevant when regulated institutions revisit customer identity information during investigations, periodic reviews, transaction monitoring or regulatory examinations.
“Trusted identity evidence is a critical foundation for effective compliance operations. Regula brings deep expertise in identity verification, document authentication, and biometrics, while WIDTH connects these capabilities into a broader compliance and risk decisioning workflow. Together, we can help regulated institutions strengthen onboarding, fraud prevention, case review, and auditability across the customer lifecycle.”
— Chionh Chye Kit, Co-Founder & CEO, WIDTH
Connecting identity evidence to better-informed decisions
The partnership combines two complementary capabilities.
Regula provides identity verification technology focused on document authentication and validation of the data contained within identity documents. WIDTH extends this evidence into a broader compliance environment. There, it can be considered alongside customer risk profiles, sanctions and PEP screening, ownership structures, transaction activity, device intelligence, investigator notes and previous case history.
This connected approach enables compliance teams to assess a more complete picture when deciding whether to approve, escalate or reject a customer or activity.
Rather than treating identity verification as a standalone onboarding step, organisations can incorporate verified identity evidence into workflows that support ongoing risk management and financial crime compliance.
“Compliance teams don't just need to know that an identity was verified. They need to understand why they can trust it months later during an investigation or regulatory review. At Regula, we build that trust through border-grade document authentication that validates both the authenticity of an identity document and the integrity of the data it contains. Together with WIDTH, we're helping organizations ensure that this evidence doesn't remain isolated at onboarding but continues to support compliance teams throughout the entire customer lifecycle.”
— Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer, Regula
Supporting compliance across the customer lifecycle
The integration is designed to support organisations operating in highly regulated and risk-sensitive environments, including:
- Financial institutions
- Payment providers
- Digital asset businesses
- Corporate service providers
For these organisations, identity evidence may need to be reviewed well beyond the initial onboarding decision. Connecting that evidence with ongoing screening, monitoring and investigation workflows can help compliance teams establish a stronger evidentiary record for decisions made throughout the customer relationship.
The partnership reflects a broader shift in compliance operations. Institutions are moving from point-in-time verification towards continuous, connected and evidence-based risk decisioning.
By bringing identity evidence into the same compliance environment as customer risk, monitoring and investigations, WIDTH and Regula aim to strengthen the traceability and auditability of decisions across the customer lifecycle.
