W2 - Company Profile

W2 is a leading Software as a Service (SaaS) organization focused on big data services and identity verification. They offer next-generation identity verification, anti-money laundering, and fraud prevention tools via a single platform. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, W2 enables clients to instantly understand the individuals they do business with, ensuring regulatory compliance and peace of mind. The company provides a range of services including ID, age, and document verification, politically exposed persons (PEP) checks, sanctions screening, adverse media scanning, and customizable customer checks. In August 2023, W2 Global Data Solutions Ltd was acquired by UK company intelligence platform, FullCircl, via a £1.50M debt financing investment by Shawbrook Bank. The acquisition has strengthened W2's position, allowing them to address critical commercial and regulatory challenges as part of the FullCircl and nCino (NASDAQ: NCNO) family. This strategic move aligns with the industry's direction towards integrating people, AI, and data to power a new era in regulated business. For more information, visit fullcircl.com.
