The story of Shufti Pro began with a bad experience that I had with one of the identity verification service providers. In 2012, I was working as a developer of a financial institution. I was to integrate a famous KYC solution of that time as part of a major digitization project of a financial institute. After multiple failures and delays, the solution was implemented but we ended up cancelling the whole project and reverted to manual KYC. All because the codes of that KYC solution were inadequate and its tech staff was unable to provide us with sufficient support.I encountered another bad experience in 2017 when I had to receive a payment from a digital bank. They asked me for my ID documents and it literally took me a month to get my KYC verification done and receive the payment.
By that time I was determined to bridge the gap in the digital identity verification industry. I was free at that time so I started working on an AI-based KYC & AML solution. Within two months Shufti Pro was registered and in the market on 31st October 2017 with all the exciting features and competitive prices.
