LETS talk



DIGITAL IDENTITY IS THE NEW MONEY

NANSEN.ID is a digital identity solution designed for opposition members and
political emigrants from sanctioned countries, regions experiencing military
conflicts, refugees, and homeless individuals. It targets those who lack or have
been deprived of a complete set of documents necessary for opening bank accounts
in the USA, EU, UK, and other developed countries.

In 15 sanctioned countries (excluding China), there are 550 million people, and
not all of them are culpable. We aim to assist these groups in establishing
constructive dialogue within Anti-Money Laundering frameworks with entities such
as OFAC, FinCEN, the Federal Reserve Board, the European Central Bank, the Bank
of England, and with units like the CIA, FBI’s Most Wanted, and Interpol's Red
Notices.

We collaborate and seek to support the work of specialists in investigating
corruption and money laundering, as well as investigative journalists who have
participated in initiatives like the Panama Papers and similar projects.

We strive to prevent the risk of power concentration and aim to make interaction
decentralized and transparent. For this purpose, we plan to utilize the latest
technological advancements from Worldcoin and Solana.

problem
50 shades of high-risk: not everything that is non-white is black 

Currently, a huge number of countries and nationalities (Russia, Belarus,
Venezuela, Nigeria, and to some extent other sanctioned countries) and new
industries (for example, cryptocurrencies), NGOs and charitable organizations
(and their recipients) fall into the "grey" zone of compliance: when banks (and
correspondent banks) cannot (or do not want to) understand the specifics and
differences of potential users, and lump everyone together, closing or refusing
to open bank accounts (and visas too).

The problem does not disappear from this, but only becomes bigger: not all
Russians and Belarusians support Putin and Lukashenko, not all Palestinians
support HAMAS against Israel - such a general perception by banks from developed
countries pushes their "supporters in terms of values" back into the hands of
bloody and corrupt leaders and their accomplices, leaving people and their money
to support the lifeblood of the local economies of totalitarian regimes. They
force such clients to use the dirty services of money laundering banks,
unregulated cryptocurrencies, and crypto-exchanges. Instead, they could
accelerate the import of brains and talents, and their assets from these
countries to themselves, getting more supporters and strength in the end to
fight.

Our clients
and users
Our clients and users: what problem we solve

Our users are those people (and companies) from sanctioned countries who do not
support totalitarian and corrupt regimes, and would like to withdraw their
capital and keep it abroad, because they have already emigrated or, while being
in their homeland, do not want to indirectly support the lifeblood of the local
economy with their capital.

Their problem is that they (and their companies) today face mass closures or
refusals to open accounts by foreign banks. Today Nansen ID (like Nansen himself
once) is focused on emigrants from Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine, but we want to
quickly test the model in the first markets and scale to other sanctioned
countries (and China).

Our clients are banks (especially digital banks), fintech startups, and
correspondent banks (as well as cryptocurrencies and crypto-exchanges,
stablecoins, and CBDC projects), who would like to work with such clients and be
transparent with regulators, but do not know how to ask and monitor better than
their usual clients. For them, we solve the problem of finding new clients (or
forced refusals from current ones) - and profit from managing their funds.

INVENTING NANSEN PASSPORT

Nansen passports, originally and officially stateless persons passports, were
internationally recognized refugee travel documents from 1922 to 1938, first
issued by the League of Nations's Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees
to stateless refugees. Fridtjof Wedel-Jarlsberg Nansen was a Norwegian polymath
and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. He gained prominence at various points in his
life as an explorer, scientist, diplomat and humanitarian. The first Nansen
passports were issued following an international agreement reached at the
Intergovernmental Conference on Identity Certificates for Russian Refugees,
convened by Fridtjof Nansen in his role as High Commissioner for Refugees for
the League of Nations. By 1942, they were honored by governments in 52
countries.





USABLE ID

Nansen ID: not just another compliance provider

For our end-users Nansen ID allows not to answer the same questions a hundred
times - but to effectively reuse (re-usable identity) the existing data and
answers.

For users, we also act as a marketplace for banking and fintech services that
understand them and are ready to accept their ID and type of risk.

(Imagine that in Onfido or ComplyAdvantage you could not only not answer the
same questions every time during onboarding, but also immediately see
recommended banks and applications that we can start using right away!)

FOR BANK-CLIENTS:

in addition to a better understanding of each target audience and more in-depth
EDD (enhanced due diligence), we also bring clients new users who are looking
for such banks and are ready to provide an increased amount of information for
more transparency. Such a "re-usable identity" allows us to have such an
architecture that solves the problem of KYCC for correspondent banks due to new
regulatory requirements of AMLA.

“Every time I interact with a new financial institution, accountant, lawyer or
business partner I find myself having to email scans of utility bills, pictures
of passports and (and this continues to astonish me) PDFs of corporate
letterhead in order to get anything done. This is an incredible friction in the
economy, a waste of time and money for all concerned.” David Birch

IMMIGRATION

Building the Network state: from banking and fintech to visas

We not only plan to scale from emigrants from three to 15 sanctioned countries,
but also to add visa services to banking services (as well as online voting).
When you apply for a visa to another country - the number and essence of the
questions are repeated by 80-90% each time, as in the case of opening bank
accounts (and bank statements are often also required to confirm the
availability of funds and address).

Your answers, however, are not re-usable, and you are forced to answer the same
thing every time not only with banks but also with such visa application
outsourcing services as VFS Global, CSC Global, Teleperformance, BLS
International, CKGS, TLScontact

(is there anyone who is satisfied as a user with these companies?!). Imagine
that you can reuse your answers and data not only with Onfido and
ComplyAdvantage and their partner banks but also when applying for visas? (A
good example is the APEC business card.)




COMPLIANCE AND REGULATORS

Digital identity is everything about compliance and acceptability

We are big proponents of blockchain and decentralization - but no idea or
project on digital identity will be successful if it does not focus on
compliance and regulators (and not just new technologies).

We have experience in participating in the FinCEN innovation group (and the
Federal Reserve Bank’s too) to exchange experiences about achievements in
compliance and AML - and we want to help establish a constructive dialogue
between those who do not support authoritarian regimes in their countries and
fight corruption and violence on their part, and regulators (FedReserve, OCC,
FinCEN and OFAC from US Treasury, ECB, Bank of England and FCA, MAS),
immigration and intelligence services (CIA, FBI, Interpol, etc.), which
regularly deal with and publish blacklists.

We have experience launching and managing a (licensed) digital bank in the USA
and working with partner banks in the USA, EU, UK, and Singapore; in compliance
and storing personal data in such a way as to comply with the regulations of
several countries at once.

COMPLIANCE CROWDSOURCING (AND CROWDFUNDING)

Investigations like the Panama Papers increasingly show that successful
investigations against corruption and money laundering are carried out by
independent investigators and journalists. Often, in addition to professional
qualities, they are distinguished by the ability to use non-obvious information
sources and databases.

We are not a compliance provider ourselves: we give open API to any compliance
providers who have their own quality databases for checks, but also,
importantly, to such independent groups of investigators. This improves our
quality and complexity of checks, and allows them to monetize their own
"findings".

We allow them to unite with each other, self-organize and exchange information,
build a dialogue with regulators and anti- money laundering specialists. We want
the company to eventually get B Corp status in the UK (and for the subsidiary -
non-profit in the USA) to redistribute part of our profit to financial support
for such organizations and their investigations like Anti-Corruption Foundation
by Alexei Navalny, Mikhail Khodorkovsky's "Dossier", Svetlana Tikhanovskaya's
office, OCCR, and others around the world.




TECH-FOR-GOOD


DECENTRALIZED ID




HONESTY IS THE BEST CURRENCY

We are for those users who understand that due to nationality, place of
residence, or industry of employment, they are in a group with an increased risk
for banks (and visa centers) in developed countries - and the constructive
answer here will not be denial and offense, but interaction and transparency.

We allow clients to ask more questions - and get more answers from users: and so
that the user does not get tired of this, effectively reuse these answers. In
addition to a larger number of questions (data sets), and using not only
traditional official but also non-obvious databases from independent
investigators - we introduce a mechanism of "social verification": each
participant can both recommend (take responsibility) for other users, and
quickly request recommendations for themselves (social guarantee, like with a
loan).

We are not judges - we allow you to ask more, answer more detailed and
understandably, save answers, and then not waste time and energy on reuse. We
are afraid of any concentration of power, and want to make a decentralized
identity solution - so we want to use the developments and infrastructure of
Worldcoin and Solana.

WHY ME, WHY US?


SLAVA SOLODKIY

Hi, my name is Slava, Vladislav Solodkiy. I am Russian, but I have a Ukrainian
surname, at the end of 2014 I left Russia, lived for a long time in Singapore,
Miami, Los Angeles, now I mostly live in London (and sometimes Singapore). I
have a Global Talent visa in the UK, as well as an O1 extraordinary alien visa
in the USA (as well as an APEC business travel card).


Once, almost 10 years ago, I did a project with the leading Russian opposition
figure and corruption fighter Alexei Navalny (you can watch the Oscar-winning
film "Navalny", an American documentary produced by HBO and CNN) "Navalny's Bank
Card" (Financial Times BBC,Forbes, Business Insider, and many others covered
this story) - but despite huge demand (only on the first day we received more
than 5000 requests for the card), due to political pressure the project had to
be quickly closed. Since then, I have been an active supporter and provided
financial support both in Russia and in recent years his Anti Corruption
Foundation, non-profit in the USA.

Over these 10 years, I have learned something and done something in fintech -
invested in 5 digital banks in different countries, and other fintech startups
like SumUp, got a fintech venture fund license in Singapore and made there
fintech and blockchain coworking and accelerator, launched in Singapore and got
a banking license in the USA

I hold Global Talent visas for both the UK and France ('passeport talent'), and
I have had an O1 (extraordinary ability) visa in the USA, as well as an APEC
business travel card. For my own digital bank, which serves international
companies and foreigners in the USA (since March I left all operational
positions in the bank, but remained a major shareholder). Together with the
bank, I gained experience in participating in the FinCEN innovation group (and
the Federal Reserve Bank of NY) in exchanging experiences about achievements in
compliance and AML, interaction with regulators and partner banks in different
countries. Received a large number of fintech awards and other recognition.

Yulia and Polina work with me as co-founders. Julia is an Oxford graduate, works
for Mikhail Khodorkovsky, is a "foreign agent" (a status that the Putin regime
assigns to influential opposition figures to complicate their lives and the
ability to express their opinion). Polina works at the department of alternative
finance at Cambridge, constantly and actively consults and works with many
fintech and blockchain projects in the directions of big data analysis, ML,
market analysis, strategy.

We have a lot of past experience in working and interacting with leading
opposition figures, journalists, and independent investigators in the field of
corruption and money laundering.

RAISE YOUR VOICE!


OR MORE

As long as we are silent - we (and others) do not know how many of us there are,
with whom and how to build a dialogue. It's time for us to unite and at least
count ourselves: this will give us confidence, a voice in the market and in
negotiations, and our partners a better understanding of who they can deal with,
provide support.

Now we still do not have the status of "data processor" and "data controller" -
so we still cannot ask for any sensitive personal data. Now we are just testing
the market - how many of us, how much our fear prevents us from talking about
ourselves and taking our voice into account, what is the size of pain and demand
in the area of opening and servicing bank accounts (and visas) abroad.
