Global Expansion
Verify Identities in Every Market You Enter
Cross-border expansion triggers jurisdiction-specific verification mandates that most identity stacks cannot satisfy from a single integration. FATF 4th Round mutual evaluations have tightened KYC and AML standards across 200+ countries, and a verification flow built for one market rarely satisfies the next.
Three Expansion Barriers Regulated Businesses Face Today
Local Rules Need Local Verification Flows
Regulated markets across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East each prescribe a distinct verification method, and a single-flow onboarding stack cannot meet all of them. Shufti routes each user to the jurisdiction-appropriate method automatically.
Document Diversity Creates Gaps
MENA, APAC, and Latin American markets use document formats and scripts that most verification systems fail to read accurately. Shufti’s document engine reads multi-script, non-Latin, and region-specific identity documents at native accuracy.
eIDV Coverage Gaps Slow Expansion
Passive eIDV fails in thin-file markets, leaving compliant applicants unable to complete onboarding. Shufti cascades automatically from Passive to Active eIDV to document upload through a single API integration.

Detect Every Fraud Type Targeting Your Platform
Deepfake
AI-generated faces and synthetically forged documents bypass legacy liveness checks at scale. Shufti’s 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 surfaces fraud signals before accounts are created.
Account & Platform Abuse
Duplicate registrations, bot-driven sign-ups, and referral exploits erode platform economics. Shufti links 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 identity verification directly to transaction context.

Don’t just take our word for it, hear from our customers
Trust and Safety Teams Rely on Shufti
The future of digital identity is defined by trust, interoperability, and regulatory alignment, so our partnership with Shufti reinforces DevCode Identity's commitment to supporting our global customers with the most secure, best-in-class, complaints identity verification solutions available today.
Combining our Conversion Driven Compliance Orchestration Platform with Shufti's global KYC and IDV capabilities allows our customers not only to navigate complex regulatory demands but also to maintain a seamless customer onboarding experience with the highest achievable conversion rates.
Shufti gives us verification journeys we can trust across every market we serve. The ability to route players through passive database checks, eID authentication, and full biometric liveness — all behind one API — has reshaped how we think about onboarding compliance.
Their team acts like an extension of ours. When regulators added new requirements across two European markets, Shufti’s journey builder let us adapt in days, not months.
FXBO customers demand speed without compromising AML rigour. Shufti’s eIDV fits exactly there — high-assurance verification for large deposits, invisible background checks for everything else, and one compliance trail across the board.
Integration took a single sprint. The SDK handled the full journey, so our product team stayed focused on trading features instead of building KYC screens.
As a regulated European payments platform, we need identity verification that meets eIDAS 2.0 and AMLD6 without multi-vendor stitching. Shufti delivers both — native eID authentication for high-assurance markets and docless database checks where eIDs don’t reach.
One contract, one audit log. That changes the compliance conversation entirely.
Trust and Safety Questions Compliance Teams Ask
Which markets does Shufti cover for document-based identity verification?
Shufti processes government-issued documents from 250+ regions. The 9-layer forensic engine includes multi-script OCR covering Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Devanagari, and cursive handwriting, handling document types that Latin-script-only systems cannot extract reliably.
What is the difference between Passive, Active, and Biometrically Enriched eIDV?
Passive eIDV queries government registries, credit bureaus, and telco/utility databases server-side in under 3 seconds with no document required. Active eIDV redirects the user to authenticate via their government eID scheme (Sweden BankID, Singapore Singpass, UAE Pass, and 20+ others). Biometrically Enriched eIDV adds a live selfie to a Passive check. All three modes operate within the same Cascading Workflow, where the system selects the correct path per user and market automatically.
Is VideoIdent required for financial institutions expanding into Germany and Austria?
BaFin GwG §12 requires agent-supervised video verification for remote financial account opening in Germany. The Austrian FMA FM-GwG carries an equivalent requirement. Shufti’s VideoIdent product covers these mandates with three agent models (Shufti-managed, hybrid, white-label) for different operational structures.
How does Shufti handle thin-file or unbanked users in APAC markets?
For the Philippines, Shufti supports PhilSys QR Verification and PhilSys Biometric Match: two distinct paths for citizens where standard passive database coverage is insufficient. The Cascading Workflow integrates both as automatic escalation steps. Similar locale-specific paths apply across other APAC markets.
Does NFC verification work on all government-issued identity documents?
NFC verification works on ICAO 9303-compliant e-passports and select national ID cards that carry embedded NFC chips. Not all national ID cards include a chip. Shufti’s NFC flow is prescribed for clients where e-passport usage is high, eIDAS 2.0 compliance is required, or the highest available identity assurance is needed.
How does Shufti determine which verification method applies per jurisdiction?
The geo-aware routing engine selects the verification method based on the user’s document type, declared nationality, and configured risk policy for that jurisdiction. Regulatory mandates (VideoIdent for Germany/Austria, VKYC for India) are hardcoded as flow triggers. eIDV mode selection is determined by database coverage density and the client’s configured risk threshold.
Can AML screening be configured differently per market?
Shufti’s AML risk scoring engine is policy-configurable per jurisdiction. Country risk weighting, PEP level thresholds, adverse media source selection, and match score thresholds are all adjustable through a sandbox-tested policy framework. Changes deploy without an engineering ticket. The 4,000+ watchlist coverage and 15-minute refresh cadence apply globally.
How long does API integration take?
API integration typically takes 2 to 5 business days. SDK integration takes 1 to 3 business days. Sandbox access is provisioned within 24 hours. These timelines reflect actual enterprise deployment experience, not estimates. A dedicated integration support team is available throughout the process.
What deployment options are available for organisations with data residency requirements?
Three deployment models: SaaS (multi-tenant cloud with regional processing nodes), On-Premise Docker (for first-party biometric and document verification products), and Customer Cloud VPC (client-managed infrastructure). AML screening and eIDV operate through regional cloud processing with configurable retention. Data Processing Agreements and Standard Contractual Clauses are available for all models.
Assess Your Verification Coverage for Every Market You Enter
Every new market brings a different regulatory standard, document type, and screening requirement. Evaluate whether your current stack covers every jurisdiction you operate or plan to enter, from mandate to method.
