Summary

An identity verification and onboarding platform built around a no-code workflow builder. Teams compose document checks, selfie and liveness, database and watchlist lookups, and risk rules into custom flows. That flexibility makes it popular with product teams that want to control the onboarding experience and tune friction by risk level, rather than adopt one packaged KYC path.

Best for

Product teams that want granular control over verification flows and to vary friction by risk tier.

Consider if

You want a packaged, opinionated KYC flow with minimal configuration and faster time to live.

Strengths

  • Visual, no-code flow builder for custom verification journeys
  • Broad signal coverage across document, biometric, and database checks
  • Orchestrates step-up checks and reusable identities

Considerations

  • Flexibility adds configuration effort versus a packaged flow
  • Overlaps platform-native proofing for simple use cases
