Know Your Investor
Verify Every Investor. Meet Every Mandate
Shufti combines accreditation validation, document forensics, and MLRO-backed review into one investor verification flow so you verify faster, catch ineligible applicants earlier, and meet accredited-investor mandates across 250+ jurisdictions without touching your existing stack.
HOW SHUFTI SOLVES IT
One Platform for the Entire Investor Verification Lifecycle
Eligibility Checked Before Subscription
Accreditation gaps appear when eligibility proof sits outside identity verification. Shufti collects income, asset, ownership, and professional evidence in the same flow, clearing simple investors quickly while routing complex corporate or source-of-funds cases to enhanced review.
MLRO Review With Full Context
Due diligence slows when documents, identity data, and risk signals arrive separately. Shufti turns investor identity, accreditation evidence, timestamps, and supporting files into one structured record, with simple approvals automated and complex cases prepared for MLRO review.
False Claims Stopped Early
False accreditation should be caught before capital moves. Shufti checks documents for fraud, AI generation, and compromised identity signals, then confirms the applicant with biometric liveness so only verified investors proceed to commitment.

-
Document Verification
Verify your investor against any government-issued document types with in-house technology. From recursive OCR for non-Latin scripts to handling cropped or worn IDs, Shufti delivers high-assurance decisions in under 15 seconds.
-
Facial Biometrics
iBeta Level 2 certified facial biometrics confirm the investor matches their submitted accreditation evidence. 3D depth analysis and injection-attack detection block deepfakes and synthetic identities at the point of submission.
-
NFC Verification
Reads the cryptographically signed chip in ePassports and national eID cards. Highest-assurance verification path with tamper-proof identity data extracted directly from the document chip.
-
Address Verification
Validate residency through utility bills, bank statements, or government-issued letters. Docless address verification confirms residence against authoritative records without requiring a document upload.
-
Age Verification
Confirm the investor meets minimum age thresholds for accredited and institutional offerings. Document-based and biometric age checks satisfy SEC, FCA, and MAS investor eligibility rules.
Stop False Accreditation Before Capital Moves
Multi-layer document forensics, AI-generation detection, and biometric liveness work together to catch false accreditation claims, synthetic investor identities, and deepfake-assisted onboarding at the point of submission.
-
Deepfake Detection
DCT decomposition isolates frequency-domain artefacts left by GANs and diffusion models. The detection layer is updated as new generative architectures emerge so it is not trained on a fixed set of known generators.
-
Document Forensics
Multi-layer document forensics analyse template structure, font consistency, security features, and AI-generated artefact patterns across 150,000+ known fraudulent document templates.
-
Synthetic Identity Detection
Cross-references investor submissions against a 10M+ compromised identity database. Flags synthetic identities, fabricated investor profiles, and re-used accreditation evidence at the point of submission.
-
Liveness Detection
iBeta Level 3 PAD-certified liveness with 0% APCER across 56+ attack types. 3D depth reconstruction and injection-attack detection confirm a live investor is submitting evidence, not a recorded or generated face.
Continuous Monitoring Across 1,700+ Global Sources
Every onboarded investor is re-screened across sanctions, PEP databases, and adverse media every 15 minutes. Risk status changes after subscription, alerts fire within 15 minutes of publication, and every signal is bound to a verified investor identity.
-
AML Screening
Screens 4,000+ watchlists across 215+ sanction regimes, 2.6M PEP profiles, and 1B+ adverse media articles, refreshed every 15 minutes. Every alert is bound to a biometrically verified investor identity.
-
Adverse Media
In-house AI trained on 1B+ articles evaluates context, tone, and entity role across 415+ themes in 80+ languages. Clickbait and incidental mentions are suppressed, surfacing enforcement-grade signals only.
-
PEP Screening
2.6M PEP profiles covering domestic, foreign, and international organisation politically exposed persons, with relatives and close associates flagged. Tiered classification supports risk-based eligibility decisions for accredited investor offerings.
-
Sanctions Monitoring
Continuous monitoring across 215+ sanction regimes including OFAC, UN, EU, HMT, and DFAT. Alerts trigger within 15 minutes of list updates, ensuring sanctioned investors are flagged before capital movement.

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.

The Confidence Our Clients Share
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is investor verification and how is it different from standard KYC?
Investor verification confirms not just who the customer is, but whether they are qualified, eligible, and funded to participate in a regulated offering. KYC confirms identity. Investor verification adds accreditation status validation, ownership structure analysis, and source-of-funds authentication. The same person can pass KYC and still fail investor checks if they do not meet accredited-investor thresholds, cannot evidence source of wealth, or sit inside a corporate structure that requires deeper review.
Which regulations does Shufti's investor verification workflow support?
The workflow supports investor eligibility requirements under SEC Regulation D (US accredited investor), FCA COBS 4.12 (UK professional investor), MAS SFA Part XIII (Singapore accredited and institutional investors), and AUSTRAC compliance obligations. Verification depth is configurable per jurisdiction, so funds operating across multiple regulatory regimes can apply the correct evidence standard to each investor submission.
Can we reuse our existing subscription forms?
Yes. Shufti's investor verification is built around your existing form, not a replacement for it. You configure whether the investor check runs before KYC, after KYC, or in parallel and whether the form is enriched with new questions, supplemented with document collection, or replaced entirely. The workflow integrates with your current subscription process rather than requiring a rebuild
What document types does Shufti collect during investor verification?
Shufti supports 12 document categories: government-issued ID, proof of address, bank statements, articles of association, certificates of incorporation, registers of directors and shareholders, source-of-funds letters, source-of-wealth evidence, credit reports, professional certifications, and corporate ownership structure documentation. All documents are stored in a single structured verification record for audit retrieval.
How does Shufti detect false accreditation claims and synthetic investor identities?
Multi-layer document forensics analyse template structure, font consistency, security features, and AI-generated artifact patterns across 150,000+ known fraudulent document templates. Biometric liveness detection with 3D depth analysis and injection-attack detection confirms the submitting investor matches their accreditation evidence. Cross-referencing against a 10M+ compromised identity database flags synthetic identities at the point of submission.
How long does investor verification take?
Most automated identity and accreditation document checks complete in seconds. Complex cases involving corporate ownership structures, multi-document review, or MLRO sign-off depend on how quickly the investor submits documents and how reviewer capacity is configured. Shufti's pre-scoring routes only the cases that require human judgement to your MLRO, reducing average reviewer time per case.
