What is KYC and why does it matter?

KYC (Know Your Customer) is the process of verifying customer identity to prevent fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing. It is mandatory for financial institutions and regulated companies under FinCEN, the BSA, and equivalent regimes globally.

Are you FinCEN, OFAC, and BSA aligned?

Yes. We screen against the OFAC SDN list, FinCEN advisories, the UN Consolidated List, EU and UK HMT sanctions, plus 400+ additional sources. Our workflows are designed for BSA/AML programs and produce auditable evidence packs.

Which databases do you screen against?

OFAC, UN, EU, UK HMT, Interpol, FATF high-risk jurisdictions, country-level PEP lists across the Americas and EMEA, and adverse media databases. 400+ verified, continuously updated sources.

How long does a KYC verification take?

Sanctions screening completes in under 2 seconds. Biometric facematch verifications take between 3 and 5 seconds end to end.

How does the biometric verification (Facematch) work?

We compare a live selfie against the photo on the user's ID document using AI. We detect liveness to block spoofing with printed photos, screen replays, or 3D masks.

Do you cover LATAM regulators as well?

Yes. We cover SENACLAFT (Uruguay), CNBV (Mexico), Superfinanciera (Colombia), UAF (Chile), SBS (Peru), UIF (Argentina), and BACEN/COAF (Brazil). We are a LATAM-rooted team serving global fintechs and US-based companies expanding south.

Yes. A complete REST API with documentation and MCPs (Model Context Protocols) so you can integrate from Cursor or other AI development environments. Typical integration takes less than a day.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. When you create your account you get free screenings included (KYC and Adverse Media). No credit card required.

Integrations · MCP

Wire it into your backend with your agent.

Your coding agent detects the Legaltalent MCP server and writes the full integration: verification sessions created from your own dashboard, results delivered to your backend by webhook.

claude-code — your-backend

Integrate Legaltalent KYC into our backend: create sessions from the admin dashboard and receive results via webhook

Found the Legaltalent MCP server and read the API docs: sessions, results and webhook events.

Created the endpoint that starts a session and returns the verification link:

app/api/kyc/sessions/route.ts

export async function POST(req: Request) {  const { userId } = await req.json()  const session = await legaltalent.sessions.create({    userId, flow: "kyc-default"  })  return Response.json({ url: session.verificationUrl })}

Wired the webhook with signature verification and registered it: POST /webhooks/legaltalent

End-to-end test: creating a test session and waiting for the event

POST /api/kyc/sessions → 201 Created

id: ssn_9f2k…c81 · url: verify.legaltalent.ai/s/9f2k

POST /webhooks/legaltalent → 200 OK

event: session.completed · signature valid

Integration ready — your admins create sessions from the dashboard and results arrive on their own.
