INVESTOR VERIFICATION (KYI)
The Regulated Workflow For Investor Verification
Shufti streamlines investor onboarding by reusing your existing forms and combining with document and face verification, in either pre- or post-KYC sequence.
Flexible Investor Verification Process for Private Placements
Configurable Forms for Investor Verification
Standard onboarding forms fail to capture the evidence compliance teams actually need. Shufti supports up to twenty configurable questions per form, including progress-saving functionality that lets users continue where they left off.
Unstructured responses create additional manual work during reviews. Shufti supports eleven answer types including Text, Dropdown, Radio Buttons, Email, File Upload, Integer, Float, Linear Scale, Date, Paragraph and Country Lists to collect data in the format your process requires.
Static forms slow onboarding by asking every investor the same questions. Shufti uses proprietary Question Rules and Page Rules to display only relevant sections based on previous answers, creating a faster and more personalised verification flow.
MLRO Flexibility
High onboarding volumes can overwhelm compliance teams. Shufti lets you use your in-house MLROs or Shufti’s trained specialists, with workflows intelligently configurable by jurisdiction, offering type or investor volume.
Investor Verification & Evidence Management
Investor due diligence requires collecting multiple types of supporting evidence. Shufti supports twelve document categories, including incorporation certificates, proof of address, bank statements, source-of-funds and source-of-wealth letters, ownership structures and shareholder registers.
Scattered investor documents create operational risk and slow regulatory audits. Shufti securely gathers and stores identity and business documents in a single consolidated verification record, making evidence retrieval simple during compliance reviews and regulator inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is investor verification?
Investor verification is the process of confirming an individual or institution's identity, eligibility and source of funds before they invest, transact or access regulated financial products. It goes beyond standard KYC by checking accreditation status, ownership structures and the legitimacy of capital being committed.
How is investor verification different from KYC?
KYC confirms who the customer is. Investor verification confirms whether that customer is qualified, eligible and funded to participate. The same person can pass KYC and still fail investor checks because they don't meet accredited-investor thresholds, can't evidence source of wealth, or sit inside an ownership structure that needs deeper review.
Can we reuse our existing onboarding forms?
Yes. Shufti's investor verification is built around your existing form, not a replacement for it. You decide whether the investor check runs before KYC, after KYC, or in parallel and whether the form is enriched, replaced, or kept as it is and supplemented with new questions.
What documents does Shufti collect?
The workflow supports up to 12 document types, including government-issued ID, proof of address, bank statements, articles of association, certificates of incorporation, registers of directors and shareholders, source-of-funds and source-of-wealth evidence, credit reports, and professional certificates.
Can the form be customised for different investor types?
Yes. Each form supports up to 20 questions across 11 answer formats text, dropdown, radio buttons, email, file upload, integer, float, linear scale, date, paragraph and country list. You can branch the form using question rules and page rules to show different paths for retail, accredited, professional and institutional investors.
How does Shufti support accredited and qualified-investor checks?
Shufti captures the evidence required to validate accredited and qualified investor status, including income statements, asset documents, professional certifications, and corporate ownership records. Ambiguous or high-risk cases are automatically routed to your MLRO or compliance reviewer before approval.
What happens when a case needs MLRO review?
Cases that fall outside automated rules are passed to your designated MLRO or reviewer with the full document set attached. The reviewer can approve, reject or request additional documents from inside the same workflow, with every action timestamped for audit.
How long does verification take?
Most automated checks complete in minutes. Complex cases involving corporate ownership, multiple document reviews or MLRO sign-off depend on how quickly the investor submits documents and how your reviewer team is resourced.
How is investor verification deployed?
Shufti integrates through API, hosted forms or embedded SDK. You can run it as a standalone investor-onboarding journey or chain it with KYC, KYB, AML screening and ongoing monitoring inside one orchestrated workflow.
