## What the story says

K33, a regulated crypto exchange and broker, runs a self-hosted n8n instance to automate customer onboarding, periodic KYC reviews and consistency checks against its AML software. It also uses AI steps for name matching and policy checks, and uses n8n to prototype workflows.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of n8n and K33, not ours.

> On the operational side, the compliance verification workflow alone has saved the equivalent of more than a full-time employee. Tasks that previously took an hour per client are now handled automatically by n8n, with human intervention only required for escalated cases.

- **80%**: “By choosing n8n's self-hosted deployment, K33 maintains full data sovereignty while giving 80% of their employees the power to automate their own work.”
- **70%**: “This regulatory burden consumes roughly 70% of the team's time.”

> One of my favorite things about n8n is the cultural shift it creates. People own their own workflows and they're solving more problems themselves.
