“We take our clients’ privacy very seriously, and we want them to know that we are constantly looking for new innovative solutions to ensure a safe banking experience. This is why we are proud of our recent partnership with Shufti, the AI-powered identity verification solutions provider, which will provide state-of-the-art identity verification. This collaboration falls under our strategy to provide a seamless and secure digital experience for our valued customers who prefer to use our online platform. We aim to improve our online banking and create an even safer service through the “Safwa Mobile” application.”
“As a relatively new brand, we need to absolutely ensure that initial brand interactions between Mintus and our customers are slick and smooth. To achieve this we need technology that is highly customisable to our needs and able to accurately verify individuals from across the globe. Not only does Shufti deliver this, it also does it quickly and easily – something our customers truly appreciate. We estimate that £150m of painting investments will be verified by Shufti this year.”
Score
“When potential customers informed us that our lengthy verification processes were hindering their due diligence verification, we knew we needed to make changes. Shufti had a reputation as a leading authentication expert that would be able to streamline our processes, while enhancing our risk detection. Through partnering with the team at Shufti we’ve been able to grow our customer numbers by 20%. At the same time we’re able to streamline their experience while on our platform and stop under-aged users and potentially fraudulent users from accessing our services. It’s a win win.”
“Given that we’re working with such vulnerable people, knowing exactly who is volunteering with us is vital, particularly as we need to have a large team on the ground. We needed a secure system that was not only highly accurate, but also time-saving. Shufti eliminated the need for our staff to implement extensive, manual ID verification processes and instead enabled us to focus on our two main projects in Ukraine – to deliver support to as many people as we can, and to grow the capacity of the charity so we can help even more people.”

What Teams Ask Us Before They Switch
No “it depends.” No redirect to a sales call. Direct answers to the questions that decide a vendor.
Start from what pushed you to look. If the need is a single fast selfie check, many vendors clear that bar. If you are comparing Veriff competitors on the full compliance lifecycle, deployment and residency choice, bundled AML monitoring, recourse for the users a check fails, and room to grow past self-serve caps, Shufti is built for that scope. This page puts the published facts for both platforms side by side, so you can judge a 2026 shortlist of the best Veriff alternatives on evidence rather than vendor claims.
Most switches trace back to four things. End users stuck in face-scan loops with no way out, which shows in Veriff's 1.4/5 Trustpilot rating across 232 reviews. Add-on economics, with AML screening at $0.64, monitoring at $0.09, longer retention at $0.30 per verification, and declined sessions that still bill. A self-serve ceiling of 10,000 sessions a month. And lifecycle gaps, because video KYC, transaction monitoring, on-premises deployment, and in-region residency are not in Veriff's lineup. (Trustpilot, G2)
The verification technology, the AI, OCR, biometric engine, and screening engine, is built and owned by Shufti. Official sanctions, PEP, and registry data are ingested and maintained in-house rather than routed through third-party processors. Your users’ data does not pass through any company other than Shufti at any point. Veriff’s database verification runs through partner data networks such as Data Zoo, and its UK fraud checks run against Cifas databases, with Veriff as joint controller.
Yes. Choose your hosting region and your data stays there, in line with local rules. Shufti supports EU, US, UK, KSA, and UAE residency, as well as on-premises and air-gapped deployments. Veriff makes no mention of data residency; its status page lists SaaS, Enterprise Europe, and Enterprise USA environments, with nothing in-region for the UK, KSA, or UAE.
Yes. Shufti runs in the cloud, in a private cloud, on-premises, or fully air-gapped, so verification data can stay inside your own infrastructure where regulation demands it. Veriff is cloud-hosted only, with SaaS and Enterprise EU/US environments listed on its status page. On-premises deployment pairs with EU, UK, US, KSA, and UAE residency options and with retention set to your own regulatory clock.
With Shufti, you decide. Pin the region, set retention to your regulatory clock, bring your own encryption keys, or run the platform on-premises, with every decision kept in an immutable audit trail. Veriff’s self-serve plans retain records for 3 to 6 months by default, extending to 2 years costs $0.30 per verification, and in November 2025 an unauthorized party in Veriff’s systems accessed government-ID images of at least 8,583 people verified for a single client, per breach notifications filed with the Maine and Massachusetts attorneys general. (maine.gov and mass.gov breach notifications)
On Shufti, a failed scan is a step, not a wall. Journeys route stuck users to retries, human review, or live VideoIdent agents so that genuine customers can finish. Veriff’s end users describe loops with no recourse, and its Trustpilot rating is 1.4/5 based on 232 reviews as of August 17, 2026. (Trustpilot)
Most teams go live in 48 to 72 hours. Shufti’s API mirrors your current request and webhook shapes, so engineering redirects endpoints instead of rebuilding the integration. Your existing workflow logic maps onto Journey Builder, with no downtime and no obligation until you switch live traffic.
Every Shufti client gets a named Customer Success Manager and 24/7 technical support with a contractual SLA on every plan, not only the top tier. Compliance questions get a same-day response. Veriff’s self-serve plans come with access to the help center and documentation; named account management is available only at Enterprise; and no response-time SLA is published.
