Video KYC & Onboarding

RBI-aligned Video-based Customer Identification (V-CIP) that takes onboarding from days to under three minutes — with liveness, OCR, and audit-ready recordings built into the session.

Outcomes

Secure, compliant, and completed in minutes

Video KYC replaces branch visits and document couriers with a guided real-time session — cutting fraud exposure while giving customers an experience that feels instant, not bureaucratic.

  • Under 3 minutes — from application start to verified customer, not days
  • AI liveness and face match — passive and active spoof detection in-session
  • RBI V-CIP aligned — end-to-end encryption, geo-tagging, audit-ready recordings
  • Any device — browser-first flows that work on low-end phones and weak networks
  • Up to 70% lower cost — no manual verification queues or physical visits

The problem

Traditional onboarding loses customers and lets fraud through

Branch-based KYC is slow, expensive, and inconsistent — driving high drop-offs for banks, fintechs, and NBFCs while leaving gaps that document fraud exploits.

Why it matters now

Regulators keep tightening AML expectations while customers benchmark every flow against instant digital experiences. Video KYC satisfies both: stronger verification, delivered in minutes.
