First launch clients include some of the world’s largest and most recognized fund service providers

Amsterdam, December 9, 2020 – Today, Finos announced the launch of its newest software tool that helps fund investors securely share their KYC (Know Your Client) information with their trusted fund service providers.  Mesh ID, as it is called, will not only benefit fund investors (LPs), but also the funds’ General Partner (GP), fund administrators, law firms, and custodian banks.

The current process is labour intensive and repetitive.  An LP will often times be asked by each fund it invests in, and its various service providers, to provide the same set of KYC information.  Not only is this normally done by unencrypted and insecure email, it can also take weeks to complete – time and energy that does not add value to the GP and LPs’ objectives: to close the fundraising process as smoothly and quickly as possible.

A First

Mesh ID was designed in the Channel Islands by a group of leading global fund managers, administrators, banks and law firms. The innovation initiative was facilitated by Digital Jersey, supported by Jersey Finance and led by Finos.
