Onboarding must be fast and verifiable
Users expect to open an account in minutes; the regulator expects to know how their identity was verified.

Identity verified during digital onboarding

Onboarding embedded in your product
KYC · People
Verify people as it happens.
Send a link and the session guides the person: every check processes live and is validated against official sources and third parties.
Mobile SDK · Face match + Liveness
Face match and liveness, on the device.
The iOS and Android SDK compares the live face against the ID document photo and verifies there is a real person in front of the camera: 1:1 face match, passive liveness and anti-spoofing, with zero friction for the user.
KYB · Companies
Verify companies, down to the beneficial owner.
Business registries, official gazettes and ownership structure: identify UBOs and run directors through automatic AML screening.
Integrations · Workflows
Build workflows from your policy.
Attach your onboarding policy and let the assistant turn it into an executable workflow: identity, liveness, AML screening and approval, mapped to your requirements.
Operational challenges
Virtual assets entered the regulated perimeter
Virtual asset service providers must sustain controls comparable to the financial system without slowing the product down.
Risk changes after onboarding
An approved account can later surface on sanctions lists or in negative press.
Evidence scatters across vendors
Documents, biometrics and screenings sit in different systems and never read as a single file.
Onboarding and risk in one flow
Build the onboarding your platform needs
Configure verification steps by segment risk and keep manual review only where it adds value.
Verify identity with liveness
Capture the document, validate the selfie and confirm the person is present during onboarding.
Onboard legal entities
Run KYB flows to verify the entity, its documents and the people behind it.
Screening inside the same flow
Check PEP, sanctions and adverse media without pulling the user out of the process.
Automate with human review
Set rules to approve, request more information or escalate, and keep the final decision with your team.

Frequently asked questions
Crypto KYC in Brazil
- Does it work for exchanges and virtual asset brokers?
- Yes. Onboarding covers identity verification for individuals, KYB for companies and risk screening — controls common to exchanges, brokers and custodians.
- How does liveness work?
- The user captures their document and a guided selfie; the biometric comparison and liveness signals are stored alongside the rest of the onboarding evidence.
- Can it be integrated over API?
- Yes. Onboarding can start from your platform and results stay available to your back office and to the client file.
- Does it cover on-chain transaction analysis?
- No. The platform covers identity verification, KYB and counterparty risk screening; on-chain analysis is handled by dedicated blockchain analytics tools.
- What happens after an account is approved?
- Periodic re-screening surfaces risk changes after onboarding, with the date and result of each review.
- Does Legal Talent guarantee regulatory compliance?
- No. The platform provides operational tooling; each provider must define and validate its duties and controls.
