Overview:
In statistics, when validating a hypothesis, we can make type 1 or type 2 errors. Type 1 errors occur when we reject a true hypothesis, while type 2 errors occur when we fail to reject a false hypothesis. In the onboarding and KYC process, companies need to validate if the client is non-fraudulent and if they are providing truthful information that complies with regulatory standards. The decision-making process is crucial as both errors can be detrimental to the company, especially those driven by accelerated customer base expansion. Denying a non-fraudulent client is harmful as it leaves money on the table and increases customer acquisition costs. Accepting a fraudulent client can lead to immeasurable losses. The trade-off between accepting and rejecting clients creates a latent pain point that is expected to grow with the rise of digital customer bases in Latin America.
Zenpli aims to be a customizable, simple, and easily implementable KYC-as-a-service solution, allowing companies to set the rules of the game and focus on their operations. At the same time, Zenpli efficiently executes with cost-effective results.

If you're wondering what the Zenpli team thinks about the partnership with MAYA, here's what the founders have to say: "In a region where users have a data-rich digital footprint, yet only a few participate in the formal economy, there is a massive challenge for companies to get the identity of users right. Doing so is a prerequisite for the digital economy in LatAm to grow and, thus, presents a massive opportunity to bring new data and infrastructure solutions to the market. With MAYA, we have a partner with strategic and intellectual firepower that is ready to enter the Arena alongside us. MAYA’s strengths and commitment to our success will undoubtedly help boost Zenpli’s impact." said Rodolfo Chiari, CEO & Co-Founder at Zenpli.
