Identity + liveness

Digital customer verification

PEP + sanctions

Risk screening before and after approval

API + workflows

Integration for product and operations

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.

Digital growth, controlled risk

Fast onboarding still needs reliable evidence

Fintech and payment journeys must balance a smooth customer experience with risk-based review and traceability.

Verification creates friction

Disconnected identity, liveness, and screening steps add handoffs to digital onboarding.

Business models add complexity

Customers, merchants, and corporate counterparties may require different KYC and KYB paths.

Post-onboarding risk persists

Approvals need monitoring and documented review when risk signals change.
