Worth Shortlisted for Best ID Management/KYC Solution at 2026 Finovate Awards

Worth is proud to announce it has been named a finalist for Best ID Management/KYC Solution at the 2026 Finovate Industry Awards. 

The Finovate Awards recognize distinction across banking, financial services, and fintech, celebrating organizations that drive meaningful innovation in their categories. The Best ID Management/KYC Solution award is given to a company that excels in protecting consumer identities and satisfying KYC requirements without placing undue strain on end-users or sacrificing UX — a standard Worth was built to fulfill.

Financial institutions today are caught between increasingly strict regulatory requirements and rising expectations for seamless digital experiences. Worth's platform addresses this tension directly, unifying KYB, KYC, AML screening, fraud detection, and underwriting into a single, configurable system. By replacing fragmented, manual workflows with automated data ingestion and real-time validation, Worth enables institutions to move faster without creating compliance or fraud gaps.

At the heart of the platform sit Worth's proprietary Crosswalking Technology and Decision Intelligence framework, which analyze over 1,200 data points across disparate sources to build a continuously evolving view of every business. Identity verification and risk assessment are embedded directly into the onboarding process — reducing friction without sacrificing rigor — and every determination is supported by detailed audit logs, so institutions can clearly explain and justify outcomes to regulators, partners, and customers.

This approach is already delivering measurable results. By implementing Worth's configurable Decisioning Engine, customers have achieved a 44%+ increase in applications processed without adding headcount. Across Worth's platform, clients have seen application abandonment drop by over 43% and approval rates increase by more than 37%.

The Finovate shortlist follows an exciting chapter of growth for Worth, including the opening of its new Orlando headquarters and the close of a $30M Series A funding round. 

Worth's shortlisting for Best ID Management/KYC Solution reflects what the entire team has built: a platform that makes compliance less of a bottleneck and more of a competitive advantage for the institutions that rely on it.

Winners will be announced on September 10, 2026.
