London, UK – March 2022 – A global market leader in AI-powered IDV solutions, Shufti, has announced that it has raised $20 million in Series A funding led by Updata Partners, a tech-focused growth equity firm.

We strive to provide the global coverage demanded by borderless organizations.”

There is a global need for a flexible and compliant solution for onboarding, background checks and management that operates across borders without the prejudice of regions, business types and languages. The World is calling for a broader solution to its digital crisis and Shufti answers these questions with unique capabilities:

Automation – the most advanced fully automated solution. 

Global coverage on various reading capabilities in all major languages. 

Configurable and highly customizable while specializing in unique requirements. Our solution can be installed on-premise which is a highly unique advantage in the market. We comply with even the most stringent regulatory requirements.

The company is already serving 500+ clients globally as per Founder and CTO of Shufti, Shahid Hanif.

We can now develop more exciting products and solve onboarding and compliance issues faced all over the World.”
