Become Digital Sas is a Colombian-headquartered, private limited company (SAS) that provides AI-based digital onboarding, KYC, KYB, and fraud-prevention solutions for financial institutions, fintechs, pension funds, retail finance operators, insurers, and crypto platforms across Latin America.

The core product offering consists of two principal modules: a KYC product for individual identity verification and a KYB product for corporate and beneficial-owner (UBO) verification that connects directly to Colombian registries such as RUES, NIT/RUT, and Registraduria, alongside more than 1,800 global AML, PEP, sanctions, and judicial watchlists accessed via an alliance with a US security-associated firm. Complementary add-on modules include ANI Gov Check (government registry verification through the company's authorized ANI Registraduria operator status), Biometria Facial 1:N, Digitalizacion y Prellenado (digital form pre-fill), a chatbot product layer, and a real-time fraud-prevention system. The solution is delivered via REST API and SDK for web, iOS, and Android, with managed implementation support for clients lacking internal technical teams.

The business operates on a sales-led, quote-based enterprise model with annual or multi-year subscription contracts, supplemented by professional services for integration and training. The company is founder-controlled by CEO Jose Prada with a lean leadership team (COO Gustavo Gonzalez, CTPO Juan Vargas, Chief of Staff Gina Perez, Sales Manager Diana Prada, BDM Fredy Aguiar), reports more than 25 corporate clients including anchor accounts Proteccion (AFP) and Credijamar, is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and is in the process of geographic expansion from its Colombian base to Mexico and the United States.
