Keep accounts genuine as your platform scales

Digital lenders, payment apps and wallets onboard customers entirely online. Yimi plugs into your product through an API, so verification happens inside your own sign-up and step-up journeys.

The challenge

Fast-growing platforms need identity checks that keep pace with sign-ups and still stand up to scrutiny.

  • Fully remote sign-up makes it harder to know whether an applicant is a real, single person.
  • Higher-risk moments, such as a first payout or a credit increase, call for a stronger check than sign-up did.
  • Engineering teams want a clean API and a test environment, not another manual review tool.

Who you onboard

The people fintech businesses need to verify

  • App users

    Customers creating wallets, payment or savings accounts in your app.

  • Borrowers

    Applicants for digital loans and buy-now-pay-later credit.

  • Merchants on payment platforms

    Small businesses accepting payments, verified through the people who run them.

Example workflow

How it works with Yimi

A typical onboarding journey for this industry, configured with Yimi.

  1. 1

    Trigger from your product

    Your backend calls the Yimi API when a user signs up or reaches a step that needs verification.

  2. 2

    In-app consent

    The user agrees to the check within your journey, with the purpose shown in plain language.

  3. 3

    Identity data matching

    The standard, provider-backed match of the user's identity details.

  4. 4

    Step-up with selfie and liveness

    A stronger check for higher-risk moments, such as a first withdrawal.

  5. 5

    Outcome back to your app

    Your product receives verified, failed or review, and decides what the user can do next.
