In episode 39 of the Let’s Talk About Digital Identity podcast, host Oscar is joined by Ben Cronin, Managing Director of UBO Service. They discuss the challenges that UBO Service solves around verifying Ultimate Beneficiary Owners, how it’s leveraging LEIs for KYC and enhanced CDD, and the GLEIF’s validation agent (VA) framework.
