KNOW YOUR INVESTOR
Verify Every Investor Before Capital Moves
Shufti combines Accreditation, beneficial ownership tracing and MLRO review run in one flow, covering SEC, FCA, MAS, FATCA and CRS requirements across 240+ jurisdictions, including Cayman, Luxembourg and Delaware.
One Platform For The Entire
Know Your Investor Verification Process
Ownership Traced to the Individual
Self-reported ownership documents hide as much as they reveal. Shufti’s Investor accreditation verification resolves beneficial ownership through layered and nominee corporate structures, confirming eligibility against the individual actually behind an entity, not the paperwork filed on their behalf. Straightforward investors still clear in seconds, alongside the usual income, asset and professional evidence.
One Record, Three Ways To Review It
Splitting documents, identity data, and risk signals across systems slows due diligence and investor onboarding. Shufti keeps investor identity, accreditation evidence, timestamps, and supporting files in one record. Low-risk cases are approved automatically, while higher-risk cases are routed to in-house, Shufti-managed, or hybrid MLRO review.
Detection That Doesn't Go Stale
A detection model trained once and left alone falls behind the moment a new generation technique appears. Shufti retrains its document and identity checks continuously against emerging deepfake and synthetic-identity methods, rather than matching against a fixed list, then confirms every submission against the live applicant with biometric liveness before a case can proceed.

Route Every Investor Into The Right Verification Path
Route Every Investor and Capture Their Evidence in One Step
Shufti configures the investor flow by investor type, jurisdiction, fund rules and subscription risk, then collects the documents that path requires. Individual, corporate, trust and fund investors are routed into the correct path and submit only the documents required for their risk and structure.
-
Structures the KYI journey, classifying investor type and applying the right verification path before evidence is collected.
-
Defines when enhanced checks should trigger, based on entity complexity, jurisdiction risk, or unclear source-of-wealth evidence.
-
Captures and checks the ID documents required for the investor's path.
-
Captures and checks the entity and financial documents required for corporate or fund investors.
-
Records permission for identity checks, document checks and ongoing monitoring from the outset.
-
Binds investor declarations and acknowledgements to the case record.
Confirm the Real Person and the Real Controller Behind Every Subscription
Shufti verifies the investor's ID document, biometric selfie, liveness signal and NFC data, then resolves the entity's ownership structure for corporate and fund investors. The result confirms the investor is a real, present, verifiable person, and that the entity behind the investment is controlled by who it claims to be.
-
Confirms the submitted ID is authentic and matches the person applying.
-
Matches the applicant's live selfie against their identity document, catching impersonation.
-
Reads cryptographically signed chip data and cross-checks it against the visual document to catch tampering.
-
Analyses biometric submissions for AI-generated or manipulated media.
-
Checks incorporation records, director registers and ownership structures for entity investors.
-
Links the authorised signatory to the entity investor, catching mismatched or unauthorised representatives.
Route Risk Signals and Escalate What Needs a Human Decision
Shufti screens identity results, ownership structure, source-of-funds clarity and AML/PEP/sanctions signals, then routes flagged cases to MLRO review with full context. Low-risk investors continue automatically; suspicious or incomplete cases reach reviewers as one structured record, not raw submissions.
-
Checks investors, entities and related parties against financial-crime risk sources.
-
Detects politically exposed investors, beneficial owners or related parties.
-
Surfaces negative news linked to fraud, corruption or enforcement action.
-
Powers the routing logic, flagging unclear source of wealth, complex UBO structures and money mule activity for escalation.
-
Gives reviewers one case view with evidence, results and risk signals already assembled.
Approve With Evidence, Then Keep Watching After Capital Moves
Shufti logs the final investor decision with every document, risk signal and reviewer action attached, then continues monitoring approved investors against sanctions, PEP and adverse-media sources. Every outcome ties back to the verified investor profile, and new alerts route back to that same record for review or escalation.
-
Stores the final case, including classification, results and approval status, for regulatory inspection.
-
Confirms investor authorisation for checks and ongoing monitoring is attached to the approved record.
-
Binds investor declarations and confirmations to the approved case.
-
Continues re-checking the investor after approval for financial-crime exposure.
-
Continues re-checking for new political exposure after onboarding.
-
Continues re-checking for new sanctions exposure after onboarding.
-
Continues surfacing new risk events linked to the investor after approval.

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.
