KYC for crypto exchanges and web3
Onboard crypto customers the way UK regulators expect — and the way fraud teams need. Zanyara verifies who a customer is and screens them against sanctions and watchlists, with liveness built to resist the deepfakes crypto sign-up attracts, all hosted in the UK.
Built around the FCA’s AML expectations
UK cryptoasset exchange providers and custodian-wallet providers must be registered with the FCA under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and operate customer due diligence, sanctions and PEP screening, and ongoing monitoring. Zanyara delivers those identity and screening controls as one API and operator console: document verification with NFC chip reading, face match and liveness, plus AML screening you can evidence in an audit.
Deepfake-resistant sign-up
- Active + passive liveness with presentation-attack detection — print, replay, mask, deepfake and camera-injection.
- Device intelligence and capture-path integrity to catch injected or emulated cameras.
- Sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening with ongoing monitoring for post-onboarding risk changes.
- Sub-minute mobile capture so conversion doesn’t crater at the KYC step.
What we are — and aren’tZanyara is identity verification and AML screening (KYC/CDD). We do not do on-chain transaction monitoring (KYT) or provide legal/registration advice — pair us with a KYT tool and your compliance team. MiCA-scope EU firms have parallel obligations; the same checks apply.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Zanyara help with FCA cryptoasset registration?
- UK cryptoasset exchange and custodian-wallet firms must register with the FCA under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and run customer due diligence, sanctions/PEP screening and ongoing monitoring. Zanyara provides the identity-verification and AML-screening pieces of that obligation — document + NFC checks, face match and liveness, and watchlist screening — as an API and console. We are not your MLRO and don’t provide legal advice.
- Do you do on-chain / transaction monitoring (KYT)?
- No — and we won’t pretend to. Zanyara is identity verification and AML watchlist screening (KYC/CDD), not blockchain analytics or transaction monitoring (KYT). We pair well with a dedicated KYT provider: we confirm who the customer is, they watch what the wallet does.
- How do you handle deepfake and injection attacks at sign-up?
- Crypto onboarding is a prime target for deepfakes and camera-injection. Zanyara combines active and passive liveness with presentation-attack detection, device intelligence and capture-path integrity so a synthetic or replayed face is far harder to pass than a document photo alone.
