IgnitionDeck & North Capital DirectInvest
With the rise in equity crowdfunding, services such as KYC/AML checks are a necessity for regulated investment activities. North Capital's Direct Invest button can be used with the IgnitionDeck External Purchase Page functionality to provide secure access to their TransactAPI to complete those checks and provide escrow services for your equity/real estate investment needs.
Important note: The External Purchase Page functionality is only available via the site's admin (Echelon and Enterprise) and not through the front end project creation form (Enterprise)
