Identity verification and KYC for fintech
Onboard customers fast without loosening compliance. Zanyara bundles document verification, face match, liveness and AML screening into one decision your risk team can defend — and one SDK your engineers can ship this sprint.
CDD that maps to the MLRs
For FCA-regulated fintechs, customer due diligence under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 means verifying identity, screening against sanctions and PEP lists, escalating higher-risk customers to enhanced due diligence, and monitoring on an ongoing basis. Zanyara delivers the identity and screening controls as one API: document + NFC checks, liveness, and AML with UK data residency.
Ship in days, not months
- Web, iOS and Android SDKs with guided, sub-minute capture — or call the REST API directly.
- Decisions delivered by webhook and in the console the moment they land.
- Human-in-the-loop review with a maker-checker queue for borderline cases.
- Sandbox with test documents so you can integrate before you contract. See the docs →
Frequently asked questions
- What KYC do UK fintechs actually need?
- FCA-regulated firms must run customer due diligence under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017: verify identity, screen against sanctions and PEP lists, apply enhanced due diligence (EDD) to higher-risk customers, and monitor on an ongoing basis. Zanyara covers the identity + screening side — document, NFC, face match, liveness and AML — in one flow. It’s not legal advice.
- How fast can we integrate?
- A typical integration — trigger a check, collect a document and selfie via the SDK, receive the decision by webhook — ships in days. See the developer docs and start with a sandbox key.
- Will KYC hurt our onboarding conversion?
- It doesn’t have to. Guided mobile capture with auto-detection, passive-first liveness and instant automated decisions keeps most applicants under a minute; only borderline cases go to human review.
