Checkboard secures £2.6m to scale digital onboarding platform

An estimated £2.6m has been raised by Checkboard Limited to support its digital onboarding platform. The company, based in London, provides technology that automates KYC, AML, and identity verification processes. Its system integrates open-banking data to conduct credit, affordability, and proof-of-funds checks for corporate clients.

Founded in 2019, the business markets its services to estate agents, landlords, conveyancers, law firms, automotive dealers, and other corporate customers. The capital injection brings the total funding raised in 2026 to £6.1m, following an intake of £404.7k during the 2025 calendar year.

Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 show the firm employed 11 people and reported a £1.1m loss. Kiu Kim joined the board of directors in June, which was also the month of the funding allotment and filing. LinkedIn data suggests Kim may be an Investment Director at Beringea, though this connection is unverified.
