ONBOARDING
Onboard in Seconds, Stay Compliant Everywhere
Shufti unifies AI-powered document forensics, biometric verification, and real-time AML screening into one onboarding flow to accelerate verification, prevent fraud, and meet KYC requirements across 240+ regions actively processed.
One Platform For The Entire Customer Onboarding Lifecycle
Adaptive Flows Cut Drop-Off
Onboarding drops when every user faces the same verification path. Shufti adapts checks in real time, letting low-risk users pass quickly while escalating high-risk profiles to enhanced due diligence.
Auto-Decisioning Clears Queues
Manual reviews slow teams down and overload analysts. Shufti converts 500+ forensic, biometric, and contextual signals into one fraud score, auto-approving safe cases and prioritizing risky ones.
Advanced Fraud Gets Blocked
Sophisticated fraud often slips through basic checks. Shufti detects fake templates, synthetic documents, compromised identities, and deepfakes selfies before fraudulent users reach account activation.
EXPLORE THE STACK
Everything You Need To Onboard With Confidence
Verify customers in seconds, not days
Combine document authentication, biometric matching, and data extraction into a single verification flow. Risk-adaptive modes route low-risk profiles through faster checks while escalating high-risk cases automatically.
-
Verify any government-issued document types with in-house technology that doesn't outsource your data. From recursive OCR for non-Latin scripts to handling cropped or worn IDs, Shufti delivers high-assurance decisions in under 15 seconds.
-
Confirm the person onboarding is the person on the document. 68-point facial landmark comparison with iBeta-certified liveness with 98.72% accuracy, 0% FAR, and catch deep fakes, printed photos, and injection attacks during the selfie step.
-
For ePassport and national ID onboarding, read chip-stored data and cryptographically verify it hasn't been altered. Cross-checks against OCR-extracted fields to flag any mismatch between what the chip says and what the document shows.
-
Verify proof-of-address during onboarding with OCR extraction in 150+ languages, structured field decomposition, and cross-checks against global postal databases. Geospatial distance detection flags addresses that don't match the user's location.
-
Gate age-restricted onboarding flows with document-based DOB extraction at 99.7% OCR accuracy, or neural-network facial age estimation.
Onboard businesses, not just individuals
Verify business entities, uncover beneficial ownership structures, authenticate corporate documents, and screen directors against sanctions lists — all within a single B2B onboarding workflow.
-
Real-time registry checks with Quick KYB. Deeper ownership and document-backed evidence with Enhanced KYB. Onboard corporate clients by verifying entity registration, UBO ownership chains, and director identities, so B2B onboarding moves from weeks of manual checks to minutes of automated verification.
-
Escalate high-risk business onboarding to EDD with source-of-funds checks, adverse media screening, and corporate document authentication. Configurable risk thresholds determine which entities trigger enhanced review.
-
Streamline fund subscription onboarding by combining investor KYC, entity KYB, and AML screening into a single verification flow, built for the compliance requirements fund administrators actually face.
Screen at onboarding. Monitor forever
Run AML checks at the point of onboarding and continuously thereafter. Screen against global sanctions, PEP lists, and adverse media. Monitor transactions for suspicious patterns and generate SARs automatically.
-
Screen every new customer against 215+ sanctions, PEP, and 4000+ watchlists at the point of onboarding, in the same API call as identity verification. Fuzzy matching and non-Latin transliteration reduce false negatives across global names.
-
Start monitoring from day one. Rule-based and ML-driven pattern detection flags suspicious activity and auto-generates SARs with evidence packages, so compliance teams file reports, not build them from scratch.
-
Catch politically exposed persons and their associates during onboarding screening. Ongoing monitoring flags status changes (new appointments, sanctions additions) automatically after the customer is onboarded.
-
Check new customers against 200+ sanction regimes (OFAC, HMT, EU, UN, Interpol, national FIUs). 415+ risk categories. Secondary and reciprocal sanction detection.
-
Screen onboarding applicants against global news sources for links to fraud, financial crime, or terrorism. NLP entity disambiguation filters out false positives from common names, so your review queue stays clean.
Stop fraud before it enters your pipeline
Layer behavioural signals, device intelligence, and risk scoring on top of identity checks to catch sophisticated fraud that document verification alone misses. Trigger step-up authentication when risk thresholds are breached.
-
Detects bots and automated onboarding attacks, and touch patterns during the verification session. Flags emulator-based submissions before the user even reaches the document step.
-
Identify the device onboarding each customer, manufacturer, model, OS, and software version. Flags virtual machines, spoofed attributes, and devices previously linked to fraudulent onboarding attempts.
-
For returning users re-entering onboarding (abandoned flows, re-KYC), match a live selfie against their previously enrolled biometric. 1:N search across 10M+ records catches duplicate account creation.
-
Fraud Hub helps stop risky users before they complete onboarding by checking multiple fraud signals in real time, injection attempts, device behaviour, document forensics, and biometrics. It works inside the existing verification flow, so teams can add deeper fraud detection without extra SDKs, extra API calls, or more steps for genuine users.
-
When the fraud score spikes during onboarding, OTP authentication before proceeding. Configurable per risk tier, so legitimate customers aren't interrupted, but suspicious ones are challenged.
Built For Every Role That Owns The Onboarding Decision
Create your own verification flows. Combine products across identity, compliance, and business verification to build an onboarding stack that meets your regulatory requirements.
Compliance Officer
Audit-ready evidence on every verification, structured for regulatory inspection across every jurisdiction you operate in.
Product Manager
Configurable verification flows that balance speed against risk tolerance, without rebuilding the integration each time.
Developer
REST API, mobile SDKs, and sandbox access. First verification call within hours of integration start.
Fraud Analyst
Pre-scored evidence and fraud signals on every flagged case, so your team reviews decisions, not raw submissions.
Detect Every Fraud Type Targeting Your Platform
Deepfake
AI-generated faces and synthetically forged documents bypass legacy liveness checks at scale. Shufti's proprietary passive liveness & document forensics detects synthetic media before it reaches your onboarding flow.
Identity Fraud
Credential theft, blended synthetic identities, and manipulated documents exploit gaps in manual review. Shufti's layered verification intelligently surfaces fraud signals before accounts are created.
Account & Platform Abuse
Duplicate registrations, bot-driven sign-ups, and referral exploits erode platform economics. Shufti links consolidated device, identity, and behavioural signals to flag abuse rings at scale.
Transaction & Payment Fraud
False chargeback claims, money mule networks, and sanctions evasion expose your business to financial and regulatory risk. Shufti ties defensible identity verification directly to transaction context.

Frequently Asked Questions
What verification checks are included in the onboarding flow?
A standard flow includes document verification, biometric face matching with liveness detection, and AML screening against sanctions, PEP, and adverse media databases. Each check is configurable, add or remove steps based on your regulatory requirements and risk appetite.
How long does a typical verification take?
Most verifications complete in under 15 seconds. Low-risk profiles routed through automated decisioning are typically processed in under 10 seconds. High-risk cases escalated to enhanced due diligence may take longer.
Which regulations does the onboarding flow help satisfy?
The flow satisfies KYC and CDD requirements under 6AMLD (EU), FinCEN CDD Rule (US), MAS Notice 626 (Singapore), AUSTRAC (Australia), and FCA guidelines (UK). Verification depth can be configured per jurisdiction.
How does Shufti detect synthetic and deep fake documents?
Multi-layer document forensics analyse template structure, font consistency, security features, and AI-generated artifact patterns. Biometric liveness detection identifies presentation attacks including deepfake selfies and injection attacks.
How long does integration take?
Most teams complete integration within 1–2 weeks. A sandbox is available on signup, and the first verification API call can be made within 4 hours. Pre-built mobile SDKs reduce development time further.
What happens when a verification fails?
Failed verifications generate a detailed reason code and confidence score. They can be auto-rejected, routed to manual review with pre-scored evidence, or escalated to enhanced due diligence. Every decision is audit-logged.
