The Challenge
As the platform scaled, compliance requirements became a major friction point for their fintech customers:
- •Each customer needed custom KYC/AML integration
- •Sanctions screening added 800-1200ms to transaction times
- •Engineering team spent 40% of time on compliance features vs. product
- •Customers complained about slow onboarding (5-7 days average)
"Compliance was our #1 customer complaint. We were losing deals to competitors with faster onboarding."
— VP of Engineering
The Solution
Week 1: Initial Integration
- • Added Veria SDK to Node.js backend
- • Configured API keys and webhooks
- • Tested in staging environment
- • 4 hours engineering time total
Week 2: Production Rollout
- • Phased rollout to 10% traffic
- • Monitoring and performance tuning
- • Full cutover to 100% traffic
- • Customer communication
Integration Code Example
import { Veria } from '@veria-protocol/sdk'
const veria = new Veria({ apiKey: process.env.VERIA_API_KEY })
// KYC verification (async, < 100ms)
const kycResult = await veria.kyc.verify({
name: user.fullName,
dateOfBirth: user.dob,
address: user.address
})
// Real-time sanctions screening (< 50ms)
const screenResult = await veria.sanctions.screen({
name: transaction.counterparty
})Results
Transaction screening latency dropped from 800-1200ms to 68ms p99, enabling real-time compliance.
Automated compliance workflows eliminated most customer support requests related to onboarding delays and verification issues.
Engineering team refocused from compliance maintenance to product features, shipping 3x more customer-facing improvements per quarter.
"Veria turned compliance from our biggest bottleneck into a competitive advantage. Our customers now onboard in under 10 minutes instead of 5-7 days. It's been transformative."
