One of Guernsey's leading fintech businesses has been licenced by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission to carry on Controlled Investment Business. 

The ID Register was developed in Guernsey by Tim Andrews as part of Apex Group but was subject to a  management-led buyout in 2020.

Each investor controls their own information in a profile, which, once approved, they can connect to their investments and service providers like a 'passport'.

The regulation supports The ID Register's single-sign-off service for investors, funds and service providers alike. Achieving regulated status in a mature and sophisticated jurisdiction such as Guernsey allows investors to be approved once in a private profile, leaving further KYC requests to The ID Register; allows fund managers to rely on its approval, giving investors a better experience at lower cost; and allows service providers to reduce risk, lower overheads and win new business.
