FullCircl Releases 2025 State of Identify Verification Report
FullCircl, a UK-based RegTech uniquely positioned at the intersection of revenue and regulation, today announces the release of its new State of Identity Verification Report. The report exposes the knowledge gaps and missed opportunities currently costing firms an estimated 38% of potential new customers each year.
The key finding of the report is that many regulated businesses still have significant blind spots around customer onboarding, and that these represent wasted opportunities impacting customer attrition, compliance costs, and profitability. The research found the rate of abandoned sign-ups is potentially 2.9x greater than businesses estimate. The most common reason for this appears to be a total focus on regulatory compliance at the expense of customer experience, the study implies that this imbalance could be costing businesses dearly.
To reveal the true state of identity verification (IDV) today, FullCircl, surveyed over 1000 ‘nationally representative’ consumers in the UK, and then compared their opinions and perceptions against a survey of compliance professionals across a range of regulated industries. In total, FullCircl surveyed 1,521 respondents, comprising 464 professionals and 1057 individual consumers.
Of the 15 major findings contained within the report, key highlights include:
· The average onboarding time is 35 minutes, which is 2.8x longer than customers would like.
· 38% of customers have abandoned account opening – much higher than businesses anticipate. In fact, 98% grossly misjudge levels of drop-off.
· User experience tops the poll as the biggest challenge facing compliance, and yet 54% are still not actively grasping this opportunity to cost effectively boost acquisition.
· 53% of customers abandoned the sign-up process because they felt uncomfortable with the IDV process. But when they do experience secure, uncomplicated, and fast IDV it dramatically increases the number completing onboarding processes successfully
. 59% of business still rely on fully manual or mostly manual IDV processes – driving up onboarding time and complexity, whilst driving down customer satisfaction and profitability.
Andrew Yates, CEO at FullCircl commented: “One of the biggest onboarding challenges facing regulated businesses right now is how to successfully walk the tightrope between customer experience and regulatory compliance. Unfortunately, it’s clear from our report that too many organisations still approach these as mutually exclusive issues. Likewise, too many are still employing manual approaches to identity verification which is compounding the problem even further.”
He continued: “It’s clear that a more sophisticated, future-proof approach to IDV is required to both manage risk and compliance and achieve positive customer outcomes. There are bright opportunities for those that get this right – bringing down the cost of acquisition whilst simultaneously driving up the customer experience and enhancing regulatory compliance.”

Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.
The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.
The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.
Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.
“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.
“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”
Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.
