Vouchsafe
Vouchsafe is a SaaS platform for handling KYC and identity verifications. The move to digital-only services, AI-powered fraud and the cost of living crisis have all raised the bar for KYC. Vouchsafe provides the tools for secure and compliant user onboarding in regulated industries, even for the millions who lack a credit file or acceptable photo ID. We combine classic techniques like scanning ID documents with frictionless document-free routes like bank account connections, government share codes and industry-first biometric vouching. We pair all that with next-gen fraud checks; analysing a user's entire online footprint in the background to provide a more accurate fraud risk level. Customers can handle verifications from our dashboard, embed it onto their website or app, or integrate with their CRM using our suite of no-code integrations or our API.
