Vespia

Vespia is an AI-powered KYB (Know Your Business) and AML compliance platform founded in 2020 and headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia. The company was created to solve the fragmented, slow, and inconsistent world of business verification, offering an all-in-one solution that enables AML-obligated businesses to onboard and verify business customers up to 90% faster across 300+ jurisdictions. In early 2026, Vespia was acquired by Veriff, the identity verification unicorn, to expand its KYB infrastructure into a broader global trust platform.

Key Strengths

Vespia differentiates itself through its crypto-native capabilities — including cross-chain transaction tracing, crypto wallet owner verification, and integration with analytics tools like Chainalysis and Crystal Reports. The platform explicitly serves the crypto and Web3 sector, offering KYB and AML compliance for cryptocurrency businesses that must meet regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions.

The platform is ISO 27001 certified, SOC compliant, SSL certified, ISO 9001 certified, and EUAMLD6 compliant. It integrates via GraphQL API and Web SDK, making it compatible with existing CRM and admin systems. Multiple deployment options are available including on-premise, private cloud, and SaaS.

Notable Clients/Projects

Clients include Tele2 Estonia, Clearbell, and Kemit Kingdom SA (a payments company that used Vespia's transaction monitoring to build its InstaPay product). The platform claims to verify 321+ customers daily.

Why Choose Vespia

Vespia consolidates what previously required multiple data providers into one platform — eliminating the need to separately source KYB data, KYC verification, AML watchlist screening, and transaction monitoring tools. Its crypto industry page specifically highlights cross-chain tracing and crypto wallet owner verification, making it uniquely positioned for Web3 and cryptocurrency businesses that face heightened AML compliance scrutiny under emerging regulations like EUAMLD6.
