Mitrade Introduces Digital KYC for Efficient Trader Onboarding in Europe
In a bold move towards digital transformation, Mitrade EU, a CySEC-licensed CFD trading platform, has unveiled its new digital Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure aimed at improving accessibility to the financial markets for traders in Europe. This progressive approach not only enhances onboarding but also aligns with global sustainability practices by reducing the reliance on paper processes.
Traditionally, opening a CFD trading account has been a cumbersome task requiring extensive documentation and manual verification, which can take days or even weeks. Reports from
The Fintech Times indicate that KYC processes can consume up to 40% of operational budgets in the financial sector. Adding to this complexity is the staggering statistic released by the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI) stating that 77.8 million tonnes of paper were produced in Europe in 2024 alone, highlighting the environmental burden posed by excessive paper-based bureaucracy.
The introduction of digital KYC by Mitrade represents a significant step forward in modernizing the onboarding process for CFD traders. This innovative method facilitates real-time digital identity verification, allowing traders to authenticate from any device, thereby minimizing administrative burdens, reducing unnecessary paperwork, and ensuring stringent security without compromising due diligence.
Kevin Lai, Vice President of Mitrade Group, emphasized the transformative potential of this digital shift saying, “The future of trading is digital, and as a CFD broker, we are committed to enhancing onboarding through a digital KYC process that supports a greener future. Technology not only enhances trader experiences but also ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.”
By moving away from traditional manual KYC methods, Mitrade can reallocate its resources towards improving support for CFD traders, enhancing platform functionalities, and reducing trading spreads. This strategy reinforces its commitment to delivering an exceptional user experience while responding dynamically to the evolving landscape of financial markets.
Mitrade's approach is emblematic of a broader trend in the financial industry towards responsible, inclusive, and environmentally conscious CFD trading. By adopting digital processes, the organization is not only enhancing operational efficiency but also contributing positively to the environment by reducing paper usage and streamlining communications.
