How to use ShuftiPro

This article provides instructions on how to configure B2Core to use the automatic KYC provider, ShuftiPro. With ShuftiPro, you can conduct document and face verification to validate the identity of individual clients, as well as address and location verification.

In addition to document verification, you can enable the SuftiPro Anti-money laundering (AML) check to screen your clients against multiple AML data sources, helping to protect your company from potential money laundering activities.

How to configure a connection to ShuftiPro

Only admins who are assigned the permissions to manage external connections can set up a connection to ShuftiPro.

Set up a connection as follows:

  1. Navigate to System > External Connections and click +Create in the upper-right page corner.

  2. In the Create connection popup, fill in the following fields:

  • In the Name field, specify a name that you want to use for the connection.

  • In the Caption field, specify a caption that will be applied to the connection in the Back Office.

  • In the Provider dropdown, select ShuftiPro.

  1. Click Save.

  2. On the Edit connection page, specify the following settings:

  • In the API host field, specify a URL to the ShuftiPro API endpoint.

  • In the Client ID and Secret key fields, specify the client ID and secret key value to access ShuftiPro.

  • In the New signature (for secrets after March 2023) field, select either:

    • No — for clients who registered with ShuftiPro before March 15, 2023.

    • Yes — for clients who registered with ShuftiPro or updated their secret keys after March 15, 2023. This is needed to validate a key signature returned in ShuftiPro API responses (for details, refer to Response Signature in the ShuftiPro documentation).

  • In the Check AML dropdown, select Enabled to use the SuftiPro Anti-money laundering (AML) check. In this case, when clients submit documents for upgrading their verification levels they will be additionally screened against SuftiPro AML data sources, including multiple global watchlists, FATF lists, PEP lists, and Sanction lists, to prevent the risk of money laundering.

    When the AML check is enabled, a client must meet two conditions to obtain a higher verification level: the submitted documents must be verified, and the AML check must be successful. If either condition fails, the verification level upgrade will be rejected.

  1. In the Enabled dropdown, select Yes.

  2. Click Save to create the connection.
