HOW SHUFTI SOLVES IT

Identity Verification Platform For The Entire Identity Lifecycle

Fraud Blocked Before Activation

Fraud Blocked Before Activation

Sophisticated fraud now enters at onboarding, with forged documents and deepfake ID attempts rising sharply. Shufti verifies MRZ integrity, document authenticity, visual field consistency, and biometric liveness before the account goes live.

Faster Flows, Better Coverage

Faster Flows, Better Coverage

Rigid verification creates drop-off and leaves risky users under-checked. Shufti routes low-risk customers through document and selfie checks in under 15 seconds, while high-risk profiles move automatically to enhanced due diligence

One Stack, One Audit Trail

One Stack, One Audit Trail

Fragmented vendors increase cost and weaken evidence control. Shufti unifies document, biometrics, NFC, address, eIDV, and AML checks into one API, one contract, and one evidence package per verification.

Everything You Need To Verify Identity With Confidence

Document Verification interface Facial Biometrics interface NFC Verification interface Address Verification interface Fast ID interface eIDV interface

Verify customers in seconds, not days

Combine document authentication, biometric matching, NFC chip extraction, and electronic identity verification into a single configurable flow. Risk-adaptive modes route low-risk profiles through faster checks while escalating high-risk cases with pre-scored confidence levels and visual forensic evidence

  • Document Verification

    Authenticate passports, national identity cards, driving licenses, residence permits, and work permits across 240+ regions actively processed actively processed over 150+ languages. Proprietary forensic checks verify MRZ data integrity, field consistency, and document authenticity so tampered and AI-generated documents are caught before account creation. Decisions returned within 15 seconds.

  • Facial Biometrics

    Confirm the person verifying is the person on the document. iBeta Level 3 certified liveness detection catches deepfake selfies, printed photos, and injection attacks during the selfie step.

  • NFC Verification

    For ePassport and NFC-enabled national ID verification, read chip-stored biographic data and cryptographically verify it has not been altered. Cross-checks chip data against OCR-extracted fields to flag any mismatch between what the chip says and what the document shows.

  • Address Verification

    Verify proof-of-address with OCR extraction in 150+ languages, structured field decomposition, and cross-checks against consolidated global postal databases. Geospatial distance detection flags are inconsistent with the user's location signals.

  • Fast ID

    Streamlined one-step identity check for returning users and low-risk verification tiers. Combines biometric re-match against enrolled templates with session continuity signals to deliver a faster result, no document re-capture required.

  • eIDV

    Electronic identity verification against authoritative government and commercial databases. Database-only tier for jurisdictions where document capture adds friction but authoritative registry coverage is available. Routes automatically to document verification in markets where eIDV coverage is thin.

Business Verification interface Due Diligence interface Investor Verification interface

Verify businesses, not just individuals

Identity verification for corporate clients requires entity-level checks, UBO identification, director-level document and biometric verification, and beneficial ownership screening against sanctions lists. Shufti's business onboarding module covers the full corporate identity verification chain, from registry checks across 100+ jurisdictions to investor-level KYI, under one API.

  • Business Verification

    Verify corporate entities by cross-referencing registration details, UBO ownership chains, and director identities against 100+ registries. B2B identity verification moves from weeks of manual registry checks to minutes of automated entity verification with structured JSON output.

  • Due Diligence

    Escalate high-risk corporate identity checks to Enhanced Due Diligence with source-of-funds verification, adverse media screening, and corporate document authentication. Configurable risk thresholds determine which entity profiles trigger EDD review automatically.

  • Investor Verification

    Streamline investor identity verification for fund subscription workflows by combining individual KYC, entity KYB, and AML screening in one flow, built for the compliance requirements fund administrators and regulated investment platforms actually face.

AML Screening interface PEP & RCA interface Sanctions interface Adverse Media interface Watchlist interface

Screen once and monitor continuously

Run identity verification, sanctions, PEP, and AML screening in one API call. Shufti creates a unified evidence trail at onboarding and monitors customer risk changes throughout the relationship.

  • AML Screening

    Screen every verified customer against 4000+ official watchlists at the point of identity verification, in the same API call. Covers 2.6+ million PEP profiles across 80+ screening languages. Watchlist data updated every 15 minutes.

  • PEP & RCA

    Identify politically exposed persons and their relatives and close associates during identity verification. Ongoing monitoring flags PEP status changes and sanction additions automatically after the initial verification event.

  • Sanctions

    Check every verified identity against OFAC, EU, UN, HMT, and 50+ jurisdiction-specific sanctions lists. List updates propagate within 15 minutes so customers flagged between your last check and today do not slip through.

  • Adverse Media

    Screen verified individuals and entities against 50,000+ sources for links to fraud, financial crime, terrorism, and regulatory action. NLP entity disambiguation filters false positives from common names, keeping review queues focused on genuine risk signals.

  • Watchlist

    Maintain continuous watchlist monitoring across your verified customer base. Configurable alert thresholds, risk-tier routing, and automated SAR evidence packaging reduce compliance team workload on post-verification monitoring obligations.

Fraud Hub interface Behavioral Biometrics interface Device Fingerprinting interface Biometric Face Authentication interface MFA interface

Stop sophisticated fraud

Layer behavioral signals, device intelligence, and risk scoring on top of identity checks to catch fraud that document verification alone misses. Rejected verifications include visual forensic heat maps and textual evidence so analysts see why, not just that.

  • Fraud Hub

    Every identity verification receives a Fraud Score (0-100%) from Shufti's AI-powered detection layer. Rejected verifications include visual heat maps and textual evidence packages identifying the specific area of concern for analyst review.

  • Behavioral Biometrics

    Detects bots and automated verification attacks by analyzing interaction patterns during the verification session. Flags emulator-based submissions and scripted flows to ensure only genuine human interactions are processed.

  • Device Fingerprinting

    Identify the device submitting each verification by manufacturer, model, OS version, and software environment. Flags virtual machines and spoofed device attributes to surface suspicious submissions before they progress.

  • Biometric Face Authentication

    For returning users undergoing re-verification or step-up identity checks, match a live selfie against their previously enrolled biometric template to confirm the same person is returning.

  • MFA

    Strengthen your verification flow by requiring users to complete a second authentication step before access is granted. Whether through biometric confirmation or OTP, MFA ensures that only verified individuals can proceed, even if credentials are compromised.

Frequently Asked Questions

What verification checks are included in a standard identity verification flow?

A standard flow includes document verification, biometric face matching with iBeta-certified liveness detection, and AML screening against 3,500+ official watchlists covering sanctions, PEP, and adverse media. Optional layers include NFC chip verification, address verification, and eIDV database checks. Each check is configurable based on your regulatory requirements and customer risk tier.

How long does a typical identity verification take?

Most verifications complete in 15-60 seconds. Low-risk profiles routed through automated decisioning are typically processed faster. High-risk cases escalated to enhanced due diligence or manual review may take longer depending on your configured review SLA.

How does Shufti detect synthetic identities and deepfake documents?

Multi-layer document forensics analyzes template structure, MRZ integrity, font consistency, and security feature placement. Biometric liveness detection, iBeta Level 3 certified to ISO 30107-3, identifies deepfake selfies, 3D mask presentations, printed photo attacks, and digital injection attacks.

What is the difference between passive and active liveness detection?

Passive liveness requires no action from the user. The system analyses a single selfie or short video for presentation attack indicators. Active liveness asks the user to perform a specific action to prove physical presence. Passive mode suits standard CDD onboarding; active mode provides higher assurance for step-up authentication or high-risk flows.

Where is identity data processed and what data residency options are available?

Shufti processes identity data through regional cloud infrastructure across EU, UK, US, APAC, and MENA. Clients configure their preferred processing region during onboarding. Retention is client-configurable. The Data Processing Agreement covers GDPR Article 28 requirements, and Standard Contractual Clauses are available for cross-border data transfers.

What happens when a verification fails?

Failed verifications generate a structured reason code and a Fraud Probability Score. Document failures include a visual forensic heatmap identifying the specific area of concern. Failures can be auto-rejected, routed to manual review with pre-scored evidence, or escalated to enhanced due diligence. Every decision is audit-logged with a timestamped evidence package.
