Alma was growing quickly and needed its merchant onboarding to stay fast and smooth without compromising risk, compliance, or customer protection. As volumes increased, manual reviews created operational strain and threatened to introduce delays for legitimate merchants. To solve this, Alma partnered with Diligent and introduced AI-driven checks to streamline routine work and prioritize higher-risk or more complex cases for human review.
