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.

Growth with control

Digital finance needs more than a one-time check

Fast account opening must coexist with consistent review, escalation paths, and evidence for every decision.

Onboarding has too many handoffs

Identity, liveness, business checks, and screening often run in separate tools.

Risk paths are not uniform

Customers, merchants, and partners can require different checks and approval criteria.

Ongoing review is difficult

Teams need a reliable way to revisit approved records and document emerging risk.
