HOW SHUFTI SOLVES IT

One Platform for the Entire Investor Verification Lifecycle

Eligibility Checked Before Subscription

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

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 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.

Verify the investor behind every subscription

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.

  • 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.

Deepfake Detection mockup Document Forensics mockup Synthetic Identity Detection mockup Liveness Detection mockup

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.

AML Screening mockup Adverse Media mockup PEP Screening mockup Sanctions Monitoring mockup

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.

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

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

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.

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.
