Laws and regulations aimed at preventing money-laundering and white collar crime in the United Kingdom require that art firms and auctions check identification and references of all buyers who make purchases in the five-figure range or higher, a highly time-consuming and expensive process that the new 'artpass ID' authentication app is designed to solve.
Founded by Dutch fintech innovators David Dehaeck and Nathalie Haveman, the 'artpass ID' authentication app allows users to upload their details which can then be verified by companies carrying out their identity and 'know your customer' (KYC) checks. The process makes it possible for customer due diligence reports to be procured free of charge, with users then able to make payments in order to carry out full inspection reports.
Ultimately, the 'artpass ID' authentication app aims to create an environment where time-consuming checks can be completed in a matter of seconds, allowing small and large players in the art market to do their bit to fight money-laundering without burning too much money and time on their own end.
