ZignSec är en RegTech-koncern som tillhandahåller en heltäckande KYB/KYC och compliance-plattform. Plattformen erbjuder lösningar som används av företag som i sin tur kan optimera sina processer för ”onboarding” av såväl bolagskunder som konsumenter och samtidigt säkerställa regelefterlevnad i den ständigt föränderliga miljön av regulatoriska krav, både på lokal och global nivå, inom bland annat kundkännedom och åtgärder mot penningtvätt. ZignSec fokuserar i nuläget på att utveckla en fokuserad uppsättning av standardiserade lösningar som är skräddarsydda till specifika branschers behov som exempelvis; finansiella tjänster, inlösande banker, spelbolag och andra starkt reglerade områden som berör digitala B2C och B2B-tjänster.

Please give our readers an introduction to ZignSec.
– The ZignSec Group is at the forefront of the RegTech industry, focusing on simplifying KYC and KYB processes. Our solutions are designed to streamline the way businesses meet regulatory requirements, simplifying customer onboarding and ongoing monitoring. We offer a wide range of services, including identity verification, document authentication, biometric checks, and AML screening, all tailored to help businesses maintain compliance in sectors like banking, finance, and e-commerce.
We are committed to transparency and continuously work on improving our services. Our international team is always on top of the latest industry trends and regulatory changes, ensuring that our solutions are both innovative and effective. At ZignSec, we see ourselves as more than just a provider of verification and compliance solutions. We are a trusted partner dedicated to innovation and maintaining the highest security standards, helping our clients navigate complex regulations with confidence. Our goal is to support our clients' success, as their achievements are our achievements.
Could you elaborate on ZignSec's business model?
– ZignSec provides digital identity verification and compliance solutions for regulated industries. Our platform includes services like onboarding, KYC, KYB, AML, and identity verification, accessible through API or web portal. By aggregating verification methods from over 200 countries, ZignSec offers a streamlined and cost-effective approach to global compliance.
Our business model is designed to ensure a sustainable revenue stream while providing maximum value to our clients. We have three primary revenue streams. First, there's a setup fee that covers the initial integration costs when a new client comes on board. Then, most of our solutions have a monthly subscription fee which gives clients ongoing access to our platform. Lastly, we charge a transaction fee, which is usage-based and varies depending on the solutions used.
There are several advantages to our platform-enabled services. First, the low integration costs make it easy for new clients to adopt our platform. Our system is also highly scalable, meaning clients can increase their usage without needing to significantly increase personnel costs. Plus, the high costs associated with switching from our platform contribute to a high retention rate.
ZignSec is currently raising 33,5 MSEK in a rights issue. How are you going to use the proceeds from this transaction?
– We're planning to use these funds to drive our growth in several important ways. A major part of the investment will go into enhancing our technology. This will help us keep our digital identity verification and compliance solutions competitive; not only to meet current client needs but also to innovate for the future. We're also boosting our sales and marketing efforts to reach more clients across different industries and regions, aiming to increase our market presence and drive revenue growth. Additionally, we're setting aside funds for working capital to help us quickly respond to new business opportunities and support customer projects as they arise. Lastly, some of the proceeds will cover our operating expenses and general costs, ensuring that we can continue to operate smoothly and efficiently while providing confidence in our financial health to our stakeholders.
What does your competition look like and what do you do better/differently than your peers?
– What really differentiates ZignSec in this competitive landscape is our extensive and unique product range that addresses both KYC (Know Your Customer) and KYB (Know Your Business) requirements. This allows us to meet a wider array of customer needs than many of our competitors. We also specialize in providing customized solutions, carefully tailored to the specific demands of each client, whether they are large-scale operations or niche markets. Our services are designed to grow with our clients, offering scalable solutions and continuous support that help foster strong, loyal customer relationships as their businesses expand and as regulatory environments evolve. Moreover, our approach is intensely customer-centric. We strive to build lasting relationships by continually adding value and adapting to our clients’ changing needs. In addition, we are deeply committed to innovation and technology. By investing heavily in research and development, we ensure our solutions are at the forefront of industry trends and compliance changes, keeping our offerings effective and up-to-date. This multifaceted strategy is what makes ZignSec a standout in the RegTech field.
What is the size of ZignSecs's potential market?
– ZignSec operates in a substantial and diverse potential market, driven by the global push towards stricter anti-money laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), and Know Your Business (KYB) regulations. Our strategic focus is on expanding our operations in key global regions including Europe, Latin America (LATAM), Asia-Pacific (APAC), and Africa, leveraging our unique position.
Europe is our core market, where we have established strong relationships and trust, serving as a hub for financial services that require stringent compliance, which continually drives the need for our KYC and AML solutions. In LATAM, we're tapping into a burgeoning market with growing digital innovation, where financial institutions and e-commerce platforms are adapting to stricter regulatory frameworks, presenting significant opportunities for our services. The APAC region is witnessing rapid technological advances and a dynamic startup ecosystem, necessitating strict financial regulations, making it a strategic focus for expanding our customer base with advanced, tailored solutions. Africa presents an exciting growth market with its rapid digital transformation and rising mobile penetration, despite a varying regulatory landscape, creating a strong demand for digital identity solutions.
According to you, why is buying shares in ZignSec a good investment?
– Investing in ZignSec is a wise decision because we're in the fast-growing field of regulatory technology, where demand for our digital identity verification and compliance solutions is skyrocketing. We offer top-tier, adaptable technology that makes integration easy for companies around the world, ensuring our solutions scale with our clients’ growth.
Our team is comprised of seasoned industry experts who drive our strategic growth and innovation. Financially, we’ve demonstrated strong performance gaining new customers in both existing and new geographical markets, supported by our commitment to building long-lasting customer relationships, which translates to reliable, recurring income for our company.
We consistently invest in research and development, keeping our solutions ahead of industry trends and expanding our market leadership. As a publicly listed company, we maintain the highest standards of transparency and regulatory compliance, giving our investors’ confidence in their decision to invest.
While we are optimistic about our future, potential investors must conduct their own research and consider their financial situation and investment goals before making decisions.
Finally, what is your long-term vision for ZignSec? Where do you see the company 5 years from now?
– As the CEO of ZignSec, my long-term vision for the company extends beyond just leading in digital identity verification and compliance solutions; I aim to make a significant global impact in these areas. Over the next five years, our strategy involves expanding our global footprint, particularly strengthening our presence in Europe, and significantly grow in Latin America, Africa, and APAC to cater to diverse regulatory needs and increase our market share. We plan to continuously innovate, staying at the forefront of AI and technological advancements to keep our solutions cutting-edge and in line with industry trends and regulations.
We are also focused on leading in key verticals such as financial services, e-commerce, e-gaming, and healthcare by providing tailored solutions that meet specific compliance needs. Operational efficiency is another major goal; we intend to streamline our operations and reduce costs through better technology use and data consolidation, which will enhance our overall efficiency. Additionally, enhancing customer satisfaction is crucial for us; we're committed to prioritizing long-term relationships and exceptional service to continually improve customer satisfaction scores. Lastly, we aim to create a great workplace by developing a supportive and innovative environment that attracts a diverse group of talented, open-minded individuals, making ZignSec a great place to work.
By accomplishing these objectives, we anticipate substantial growth, sustained innovation, and long-term success, positioning ZignSec as a compelling choice for our shareholders.
