Cedar Rose unveils KYB solution

CEDAR Rose has announced the launch of its automated Know Your Business (KYB) solution that is designed to digitize the onboarding process for companies while reducing non-compliance risks. Regardless of the industry, it will allow businesses to leverage on Cedar Rose’s powerful Application Programming Interface (API) to onboard new customers and third parties without friction and improve the customer journey at reduced costs.

Antoun Massaad, the Co-Founder and CEO of Cedar Rose, stated, “In today's fast-paced world of digitization and automation, businesses can seldom afford the time required to manually conduct detailed verification of potential business partners. However, to meet compliance requirements, these procedures are necessary and must be implemented to the highest degree. Our automated KYB solution utilises ground-breaking new technologies such as AI and machine learning to rapidly parse massive amounts of data. It allows companies to search and verify the authenticity of legal entities against trusted global data and drastically reduces the time needed to conduct business verification.”

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company with over 8,900 hotels across nearly 95 countries, announced the roll out of the next-gen Oracle Hospitality OPERA Cloud Property Management (PMS) to its full-service hotels, making it the first major hotel company to adopt the system globally. The decision comes following successful pilots at nearly 50 Wyndham hotels over the last nine months.

Full-service hotels coming into the Wyndham portfolio, which includes brands like Wyndham Grand, Ramada by Wyndham, and Dolce by Wyndham, will be placed on the new PMS while existing owners have the option of upgrading now or waiting until their existing PMS agreements expire. The Company anticipates approximately 20 percent of its full-service portfolio will adopt the new PMS in the next 12 months with the majority migrating to the system over the next several years. Wyndham’s selection of OPERA Cloud for its full-service hotels represents the latest in a growing list of newly launched technology initiatives by the Company.
