🔍 KYC AI - Onboarding Automation

Onboarding that takes
minutes, not days

Every extra minute in onboarding is a customer who abandons. We build automated KYC flows - OCR, liveness, sanctions screening and risk scoring - that cut time-to-funded-account without giving up BSA/AML compliance or a full audit trail.

⚠️ The trade-off

Speed vs compliance - you should not have to choose

Slow onboarding drives customers away; sloppy onboarding brings fines. Done right, AI accelerates and strengthens the control at the same time.

⚙️ What we build

An end-to-end automated KYC flow

🪪

Document OCR & Verification

Read and verify ID cards, passports and licenses.

  • Multi-language OCR
  • MRZ parsing and passport NFC
  • Forgery and tampering detection
  • Structured field extraction
🤳

Liveness & Face Match

Confirm the person is live and matches the document.

  • Passive / active liveness (PAD, ISO 30107-3)
  • Face match against the document photo
  • Deepfake and injection resistance
  • Explainable confidence score
🛂

PEP & Sanctions Screening

Screen against sanctions and politically exposed persons.

  • OFAC, EU, UN and local lists
  • Fuzzy matching for name transliteration
  • False-positive reduction
  • Ongoing daily screening
📊

Explainable Risk Scoring

A customer risk score - with a reason, not just a number.

  • SHAP on every risk score
  • CDD / EDD tiering
  • Explanation stored for audit
  • Policy-configurable thresholds
🔄

Perpetual KYC

KYC does not end at onboarding - it updates over time.

  • Trigger-based re-review
  • Risk-change monitoring
  • Automated document refresh
  • Risk-history documentation
🔌

Integration & Human Review

Edge cases go to an analyst with full context.

  • Case management for manual review
  • API into core / CRM
  • Straight-through for most applications
  • Documented escalation

📊 Industry benchmarks

What public research shows - and where we come in

🏦

Automation cuts workload

What the industry reports: Banks with comprehensive onboarding automation report a 60-80% reduction in compliance-team workload and time-to-decision (McKinsey 2024 banking ops report).

Where we come in: Designing a pipeline that pushes most applications straight-through and leaves only the edge cases for an analyst.

🕵️

Liveness stops spoofing

What the industry reports: Presentation Attack Detection to ISO/IEC 30107-3 is now the baseline for remote identity verification.

Where we come in: Selecting and integrating PAD that resists deepfake and injection attacks, with an explainable score.

🎯

Fewer sanctions false-positives

What the industry reports: Naive sanctions screening produces a heavy false-positive load that delays legitimate customers.

Where we come in: Fuzzy matching tuned for Hebrew / Russian / Arabic transliteration - less noise, without missing a real hit.
