LegitScript, a global leader in enterprise risk management and merchant certification, has acquired Kompliant, a leading compliance orchestration platform for banks and financial services providers. The strategic acquisition strengthens LegitScript’s position as a premier provider of risk intelligence and compliance solutions, enabling clients to expand their customer base, automate underwriting decisions, reduce operational costs, and significantly boost revenue. For over 15 years, LegitScript has been a trusted authority in ensuring transparency and trust across digital commerce and payments. Its platform delivers deep, real-time visibility into online merchant risk, with expertise in more than 60 high-risk categories and cross-platform intelligence spanning merchants, ad networks, marketplaces, and social media. The integration of Kompliant’s advanced automation technology with LegitScript’s extensive risk monitoring capabilities creates a unified, end-to-end solution for managing merchant risk throughout the entire lifecycle. The move addresses a critical challenge in the payments industry: outdated, siloed onboarding processes that slow down merchant activation, increase compliance risk, and contribute to customer attrition. By combining Kompliant’s automated workflows—covering digital applications, KYB and KYC verification, decisioning, and event-driven re-underwriting—with LegitScript’s AI-powered risk detection and human-led intelligence, the merged platform streamlines compliance operations and enhances scalability. “This acquisition marks a pivotal moment in our mission to make the internet and digital payments ecosystem safer, more transparent, and more efficient,” said Scott Roth, CEO of LegitScript. “We don’t just detect risk—we prevent it. Now, we can embed that protection directly into automated workflows, allowing our clients to grow with confidence, speed, and precision.” Kompliant was founded with the vision of transforming compliance from a regulatory hurdle into a competitive advantage. Its platform accelerates merchant onboarding, improves conversion rates, and reduces operating costs through intelligent automation and real-time data integration. The acquisition allows Kompliant to scale its impact globally, leveraging LegitScript’s vast data network and regulatory expertise. “Joining forces with LegitScript enables us to deliver on our promise at a much greater scale,” said Leo Patching, CEO of Kompliant. “We’re not just improving compliance—we’re turning it into a growth engine for financial institutions worldwide.” The combined capabilities of LegitScript and Kompliant will empower payment service providers, e-commerce platforms, and financial institutions to make faster, smarter, and more secure decisions—driving innovation, reducing risk, and unlocking new revenue opportunities in a rapidly evolving digital economy.
