How AutoKYC and Veriff differ

Veriff excels at video-first identity proofing. AutoKYC covers the same biometric and document controls but extends into AML, KYB, and operations. Instead of stitching together separate systems, you orchestrate policies, escalations, and analysts from one console.

SaaS platform impact

  • Blend document capture, dual AML, and KYB checks without bolting on additional vendors.
  • Configure escalation voting, timed reminders, and audit exports directly in the rules engine.
  • Leverage SDKs with privacy and accessibility baked in, including consent-aware analytics.

Managed services impact

  • AutoKYC provides analysts that operate your queues, handle periodic reviews, and generate regulator evidence.
  • Managed teams ingest device and fraud signals, ensuring every alert includes reviewer rationale.
  • Shared dashboards track SLA adherence, queue depth, and regulatory commitments throughout migration.

Controls regulators recognise

  • Immutable audit logs covering every machine action and human decision.
  • ODD/EDD cadence automation ensures high-risk accounts are re-certified on time with documented follow-up.
  • Privacy-by-design storage keeps personal data in-region with redaction policies for downstream systems.

Where Veriff still works best

  • Programmes that only need high-assurance video KYC with in-house AML stacks.
  • Organisations already invested in bespoke decisioning layers and operations tooling.
  • Teams operating in channels where managed analysts are not required or are handled internally.

FAQs on migrating from Veriff

Practical clarifications for compliance, engineering, and operations teams orchestrating the switch.

Can AutoKYC preserve Veriff's video capture evidence?

Yes. We ingest Veriff video assets, still frames, and metadata so investigators can replay the original session inside AutoKYC audit logs.

How does AutoKYC handle Veriff's device and fraud signals?

Device fingerprints and behavioural signals can be replayed into AutoKYC via enrichment webhooks. Rules reference those signals alongside AML and KYB data.

Does AutoKYC support live agent reviews similar to Veriff Station?

AutoKYC managed analysts perform manual reviews, queue prioritisation, and escalation voting directly in the platform with full visibility for your compliance leads.

What happens to Veriff-hosted SDKs during migration?

We swap in AutoKYC SDKs, ensure accessibility parity, and keep fallback video capture routes for jurisdictions that still require them.
