05 — FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can't find what you need? Our compliance team is happy to help.
What is the difference between KYC and ID document verification?
ID document verification confirms that an identity document is genuine and belongs to the person presenting it. KYC is the broader regulatory process that includes identity verification, risk assessment, sanctions/PEP screening and ongoing monitoring.
Which industries do you work with?
Banks, fintechs, payment providers, crypto exchanges, iGaming operators, insurers, marketplaces and any business subject to AML/CFT regulation or age and identity requirements.
How long does it take to go live?
Most clients launch hosted verification flows within one to two weeks. Full API integrations with custom risk policies typically go live within four to six weeks.
Do you offer human review for complex cases?
Yes. Our certified compliance analysts review escalated cases around the clock, including enhanced due diligence, adverse-media hits and suspicious documents.
Where is customer data stored?
You choose your data residency region — EU, UK, US or APAC. All data is encrypted, access-controlled and retained only as long as your policy and local law require.
