Shufti is Empowering AZ eWallet, the Fastest-Growing Fintech Company in Kuwait

2026-06-30  Per Henrikson

The Kuwait-based electronic money provider was built for a broad audience, banked and underbanked alike. From one app, customers send and receive money, get paid, settle bills, and use virtual and physical Visa cards, alongside salary and payroll services, domestic-worker accounts, QR payments, Ezee Link payment links, local transfers through a Personal Virtual IBAN, and international remittances. The Verification Checks Behind Every AZ eWallet Account: To open an account, every customer is verified digitally through a set of Shufti services that run at the start of the onboarding journey: -Digital identity verification confirms a customer's identity in real time. -Document verification authenticates IDs and flags forged or expired documents. -Facial recognition and face matching match the live selfie to the ID photo. -Liveness detection confirms a genuine, present user, blocking photos, masks, and deepfakes. -KYC verification establishes identity before the account goes live. -Fraud prevention controls flag and block suspicious applications during onboarding. -Customer onboarding verification combines these checks into a single, automated flow.
