Opening an account, activating a wallet, onboarding a driver: all these steps begin with a simple and difficult question, "is this person who they claim to be?". KYX, designed by Xearth, answers that question through an API.
What KYX does
- Document extraction: automatic reading of identity documents and detection of forged ones.
- Face verification and liveness detection: comparing the selfie with the identity document, and checking that the person is really present.
- Fraud detection: analysis of behavior and digital signals to flag high-risk accounts.
- Compliance checks: automated screening against sanctions and politically-exposed-person lists.
- Tamper detection: including images produced by image generators.
Built for developers
A REST API, typed SDKs and complete documentation: integration happens in three steps, integrate, verify, decide. The response is a clean JSON with a pass or fail signal and the detailed reasons.
Who it is for
Fintech and mobile wallets, marketplaces, ride-hailing apps, real-estate transactions: wherever onboarding must be fast without giving up trust.
KYX is available at kyx.ci. We tell the story of its design in a case study.
