KNOW YOUR BUSINESS
Verify Every Business Across Registries, Documents, and Live Sources
Shufti combines live registry checks, AI-powered insights, and KYB verification across 240+ actively processed regions to accelerate onboarding and ensure AMLR compliance ahead of July 2027.
One KYB Platform For The Entire
Business Verification Lifecycle
Unified KYB, Stronger Evidence
Regulated teams should not rely on stitched-together KYB vendors. Shufti combines entity verification, UBO due diligence, and AML screening in one KYB Suite, giving every business, director, and UBO one connected audit trail, one evidence record, and one contract.
Live Registry Data, Not Cached Risk
KYB decisions lose value when they depend on outdated compiled databases. Shufti’s Enhanced KYB makes live registry calls at every API request across 240+ regions actively processed, helping teams verify current company data and stay prepared for AMLR-driven expectations.
Fraud Control Before Activation
Sophisticated KYB fraud can hide behind forged filings, AI-generated documents, and complex ownership structures. Shufti checks documents, ownership trees, shell-company signals, directors, and UBOs against sanctions, PEP, FATF, adverse media, and other AML sources before approval.
EXPLORE THE STACK
Everything You Need To Verify Businesses With Confidence
Onboard businesses across 240+ live registries
Verify entities, uncover beneficial ownership chains, authenticate corporate documents, and screen every director against sanctions all within a single B2B onboarding workflow.
-
Onboard corporate clients in sub-2 minutes by issuing a live registry call across consolidated 240+ regions actively processed, extracting UBO trees to FATF 25% threshold, and verifying director identities, so KYB moves from days of manual checks to a single synchronous API response.
-
Escalate high-risk entities to EDD with AI-OCR ingestion of incorporation certificates, shareholder registers, and certificates of good standing. Configurable risk thresholds intelligently determine which counterparties trigger the KYB KYI Suite for full ownership-tree mapping and AML per UBO.
-
Streamline fund subscription onboarding by combining accredited-investor KYC, entity KYB, source-of-wealth checks, and AML screening into one verification flow, built for the compliance requirements fund administrators actually face.
-
Issue eIDAS-compliant Qualified Electronic Signatures during business onboarding contracts. Tamper-evident, legally binding across the EU, and automatically logged to the same defensible KYB audit trail as the underlying entity verification.
-
Capture audit-ready electronic signatures from directors and authorised signatories during onboarding. Configurable signing flows, signer authentication via biometrics, and timestamped evidence packs satisfy regulatory record-keeping requirements.
Verify the humans behind the entity
Verify each UBO and director under FATF Recommendation 24 and AMLR with document authentication, NFC chip reads, biometric face matching, and address verification extending KYB into KYI within the same audit trail.
-
Verify any government-issued document types with in-house technology that doesn't outsource your data. From recursive OCR for non-Latin scripts to handling cropped or worn IDs, Shufti delivers high-assurance decisions in under 15 seconds.
-
Confirm the person signing as a UBO is the person on the document. 68-point facial landmark comparison with iBeta-certified liveness, 98.72% accuracy, 0% FAR, and deepfake / injection-attack detection built into the selfie step.
-
For ePassport and chip-enabled national ID submissions, read chip-stored UBO data and cryptographically verify it has not been altered. Cross-checks against OCR-extracted fields flag any mismatch between chip data and the visible document.
-
Verify director and UBO residential address with OCR extraction in 100+ languages, structured field decomposition, and cross-checks against global postal databases. Geospatial distance detection flags are inconsistent with the registry record.
Screen entities and every UBO, continuously
Run AML at the point of KYB and continuously thereafter per entity AND per extracted UBO against sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media lists. Webhooks fire on registry, director, and sanctions changes, aligned to AMLR's one-year interval
-
Screen onboarded entities and every UBO against 3,500+ watchlists and 1B+ adverse-media articles refreshed every 15 minutes, sourced from 100,000+ feeds collected and maintained in-house no third-party aggregator latency, no daily-batch lag.
-
Screen each individual extracted from the ubo_tree against the same OFAC, EU, FATF, UK HMT, UN, PEP, and adverse-media coverage not just the entity. Replaces the post-KYB manual screening step that fragmented audit trails in the Monzo and Starling enforcement patterns.
-
Catch politically exposed UBOs and their Relatives & Close Associates during KYB onboarding. Ongoing monitoring flags status changes, new appointments, sanctions additions, family-member exposure automatically after the entity is onboarded.
-
Check every UBO and entity against 240+ sanction regimes and national FIUs across 215+ jurisdictions with 415+ risk categories and secondary/reciprocal sanction detection. Refresh cadence: every 15 minutes.
-
Screen entities and UBOs against global news for links to fraud, financial crime, sanctions evasion, or money-laundering networks. NLP entity disambiguation filters false positives from common company and personal names, keeping the review queue clean.
Stop sophisticated entity and document fraud at the door
AI-generated incorporation letters, shell-company rings, and bot-driven registration bypass database-only KYB. Layer behavioural signals, device intelligence, and document forensics on top of registry checks to catch what they miss.
-
Detects bot-driven KYB onboarding and session anomalies during the entity submission flow. Mouse-movement patterns, typing cadence, and form-completion telemetry flag emulator-based submissions before the document upload step.
-
Identify the device onboarding each entity, manufacturer, model, OS, software version. Flags virtual machines, spoofed attributes, and devices previously linked to fraudulent entity registrations or shell-company creation patterns.
-
For returning UBOs re-entering KYB flows (re-verification, periodic re-KYC), match a live selfie against the previously enrolled biometric. 1:N search across 10M+ records catches duplicate UBO submissions across multiple shell entities.
-
Verify customers with the right identity checks. Confirm real users with document, biometric, NFC, address, and doc-less checks, then step up verification when risk or regulation requires it.
-
When the fraud score spikes during business onboarding, trigger step-up biometric or OTP authentication on the signing UBO before proceeding. Configurable per risk tier, so legitimate counterparties move through unblocked while suspicious ones are challenged.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What checks are included in the KYB flow?
A standard KYB flow includes live registry verification, UBO extraction to the FATF 25% threshold, corporate document authentication, and AML screening per entity AND each director against sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media lists. Each check is configurable to your risk appetite.
What happens when the registry returns 'no company found'?
AI Insights Report runs a deep open-web search alongside every registry query. When LATAM, MENA, APAC, or new entities return blank, AI Insights returns flagged intelligence, marked LLM-sourced for provenance routing. Blank-result rate drops from ~12% to under 1%.
Which regulations does the KYB stack help satisfy?
AMLR (July 2027), 6AMLD, FATF Recommendation 24, FCA Consumer Duty, UK ECTA (Nov 2025), MiCA (EU), VARA (UAE), MAS PSA (Singapore), and FinCEN BSA (US). Verification depth and document retrieval are configurable per jurisdiction.
How does Shufti detect sophisticated entities and fake corporate documents?
AI-OCR with 0% extraction failure flags GAN-generated artefacts in incorporation letters and shareholder registers, and cross-references shell-company signals against ownership patterns. Behavioural and device signals catch bot-driven entity registration.
Does the KYB KYI Suite produce a single audit trail or three?
One. The KYB KYI Suite consolidates entity verification, UBO due diligence, and AML per entity AND per extracted individual into a single timestamped audit trail. Replaces three-vendor stacks penalised in the Monzo (£21.09m) and Starling (£28.96m) FCA fines.
Does Quick KYB charge for rejected verifications?
No. Modular pricing across Shufti's Know Your Business solutions: Quick KYB for standard entities, KYB KYI Suite for full EDD, Document Retrieve & Pay per document. Shufti does not penalise high-reject-rate flows.
How long does KYB integration take?
2–3 days average via REST API, mobile SDKs (iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter), or no-code Journey Builder. Sandbox on signup with sub-4-hour time-to-first-verification.
