London, 10 August, 2021— Envestnet | Yodlee, a leading data aggregation and data analytics platform for financial services, has announced it will provide account verification for one of the most widely-used consumer crypto products and the leading institutional crypto solutions provider, Blockchain.com.
Envestnet | Yodlee will provide open banking access to new Blockchain.com users, accelerating Blockchain’s ability to onboard new customers and securely fund their accounts through real-time account verification, directly from the user’s bank account, without the need to provide micro-deposits.

Jason O'Shaughnessy, Head of International Sales at Envestnet | Yodlee, said: “The financial services industry is being disrupted by a new wave of innovative businesses, and for these businesses to thrive they need to be able to acquire new users at speed. Simplifying the verification process enhances the user experience and cuts down onboarding to a matter of seconds.”
Jason Karsh, VP of Marketing at Blockchain.com, said: “Interest in cryptocurrency has never been greater.
