    Smart Growth in Uncertain Times: Powered By Shufti

    n-img-smart-growth

    Just five years ago at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economy was struck by the highest recorded levels on the Monthly Global Economic Policy Uncertainty Index.

    Today, that uncertainty is even worse.


    Fueled by erratic and ill-planned international trade policies, growth-focused companies face significant challenges as they now look for ways to weather the latest economic headwinds.

    In uncertain times, smart spending becomes critical to survival. With more than 100 providers all promising the best results, identity verification has become a space where higher price tags are often mistaken for higher quality.

    But nothing could be further from the truth.

    Here at Shufti, we’ve invested in delivering what we see as the best global identity solutions on the market. Our platform delivers:

    • Higher global true acceptance rates compared to other providers, increasing top-line growth
    • Automated workflows, eliminating the need for pricier manual reviews (even for non-Latin based languages)
    • Competitive pricing that always ensures value

    Accuracy That Doesn’t Punish Your Customers

    Stopping fraud shouldn’t come at the cost of losing good customers.

    If your system turns away legitimate users or slows them down, you’re handing revenue to someone else. But if it lets fraud slip through, the door to regulatory penalties and other consequences swings open.

    Shufti’s AI-powered Facial Biometrics solution is certified at iBeta level 1 & 2, delivering:

    • 98.72% total accuracy
    • 0% False Acceptance Rate (FAR)
    • <2% False Rejection Rate (FRR)


    Our AI models are trained on diverse global data sets that help reduce both false rejections and regional bias, especially in emerging markets and underserved regions.

    We support over 10,000 document types from more than 240 countries and 150 languages, with OCR systems that can accurately read documents that are handwritten, non-standard, or regionally issued.

    Automation That Doesn’t Break at the Edges

    Time is a precious commodity nowadays and any slowdown or inaccuracy during the onboarding process will lead to significant customer drop-offs.

    Most providers claim to be fully automated, until they run into a document that falls outside of their system’s norm. Documents that use non-Latin scripts, are handwritten, or are less common regional IDs often trigger manual review queues, which slows down verifications and drives up operational costs.

    Shufti eliminates that bottleneck.


    Our platform provides the option for fully automated, AI-driven workflows for the full range of real-world documents, not just standard use cases. Whether it’s:

    • A utility bill in Cyrillic
    • A driver’s license in Arabic
    • Or, a voter ID in Hindi

    Sufti processes it without escalating to a human reviewer.

    This isn’t just nice-to-have. Roughly 60% of the global population uses languages written in non-Latin scripts. If your verification process can’t support them as effectively as those that use Latin scripts, they will find someone who can.

    We Own The Stack. You Own The Outcome.

    Other identity verification providers might claim to have enterprise-level service and the best technology stack available, but we let you be the judge of that.

    Behind the scenes, many are verifying identities using a Frankenstack of third-party tools, rented infrastructure, and outsourced capabilities. This introduces a whole host of technical risks like data breaches, while also driving up costs of third-party technology and data. Every dependence they have on someone else becomes another fee, another delay, another variable for you.

    Shufti is designed to deliver more value.


    From the facial recognition engine to the fraud detection logic to the document parsing layer, we’ve developed and own our entire tech stack. Nothing is licensed from third parties. That means no hidden markups, no forced platform integrations, and no limits to how we can improve, scale, and optimize our systems.

    The impact shows up in your bottom line by:

    • Delivering higher value for a fair and transparent price
    • Significantly reducing implementation time and dev costs with our no-code workflow builder and single API integration.
    • And because everything’s in-house, we can roll out customizations quickly without waiting on outside vendors to catch up.

    Shufti delivers enterprise-grade performance with a leaner, more efficient model so you can avoid the overhead, lock-in, and hidden costs that drag other platforms down.

    Rethink What You’re Really Paying For

    Too many businesses are saddled paying premium prices for outdated identity verification systems who use tools that slow down onboarding, overly rely on manual review teams, and hide costs behind third-party dependencies.

    What does that get you? It means lower conversion rates, higher fraud exposure, and mounting operational waste.

    Shufti was built from the ground up to break that cycle.


    We’ve designed a platform that’s fast, fully automated, and entirely self-owned, delivering the enterprise-grade performance you need, without the overhead. You get better pass rates, broader document coverage, and real cost control at a global scale.

    If you’re serious about improving performance while cutting waste, check out our ROI calculator and see the difference a high-performance, cost-effective verification platform can make.
