About this comparison

Tecalis and Onfido are two leading platforms offering advanced solutions in identity verification and anti-fraud controls. Below, we present the distinctive features of each to help users choose the one that best suits their business needs.

About Tecalis

Tecalis stands out for its comprehensive (cross-channel) and flexible approach. It supports over 190 countries and complies with regulations such as AML6, eIDAS, and PSD2/SCA. Its advanced features include both active and passive biometric verification, NFC support, and digital certificates. Tecalis also provides KYB validation, address and age verification, and electronic signatures for an end-to-end onboarding process.

One of Tecalis' strengths is its second-generation OCR technology with AI and its bank reading module, which allows for highly accurate form auto-completion and risk scores. Additionally, the platform focuses on providing a frictionless user experience, making onboarding quick and efficient. It also offers multi-factor authentication (MFA) and top-level anti-spoofing controls to operate under any risk level.

About Onfido

Onfido is known for its document verification and facial biometrics technology. It supports a wide range of documents from different countries, similar to Tecalis, and offers flexible API integrations for various business applications. Onfido excels in fraud prevention and process automation, using machine learning to continually improve accuracy and efficiency.

Onfido also provides multi-factor authentication and complies with international security and privacy regulations. Its intuitive user interface and real-time analysis capabilities make implementation straightforward.

How to choose between Onfido and Tecalis

Both platforms offer robust and reliable solutions. However, Tecalis stands out for its flexibility and customization capabilities, making it better suited to a wider range of use cases and specific industry needs. 

In summary, while Onfido is a solid option, Tecalis offers additional features and greater adaptability, making it the preferred choice for companies seeking a comprehensive and customizable identity verification and authentication solution.

What is KYB (business verification) and KYC (Identity Verification)?

KYB is the acronym for the Know Your Customer process, which consists of confirming that a user who is going to become a customer, employee, supplier, etc. is who he/she claims to be. To do this, a series of questions (KYC Form), anti-fraud controls and documentation and data checks are performed automatically and digitally to enable the registration or purchase operation. It is mandatory in many industries.

KYB is the Know Your Business process: it consists of carrying out a series of controls and checks that must be performed before starting to work with another business, partner, client-company (B2B) or partner. This model automates all the processes carried out in Due Diligence.

Can I integrate electronic signature systems within digital onboarding?

Absolutely, Tecalis recommends merging the signature process with the KYC/KYB process. By doing this and Tecalis acting as a unified platform and process, we obtain a double benefit: the greatest possible regulatory support by integrating everything in the same audit trail and the best user experience avoiding abandonment and friction in the process of registering a new user.

Can I use Tecalis Identity technologies for other types of processes or tasks?

Yes, all the functionalities and tools that you can find on our product pages can be integrated independently to streamline and automate any process. Schedule a meeting with a Tecalis expert and we will analyze your activity to propose a solution 100% adapted in price and operational functionalities.

Why do you need RegTech digital onboarding and QTSP services?

In the vast majority of markets and regions companies are required to perform these controls and use RegTech trust services provided by QTSPs in order to operate. Standards such as AML6, eIDAS 2 or PSD3 in addition to the requirements imposed by regulators such as SEPBLAC, OFAC or other counterpart bodies demand to perform these Due Diligence procedures on the users you work with. 

In addition, having these systems in place will allow you to operate easily, without large investments and without a presence in +500M markets such as Europe by simply integrating agile and affordable technologies into your digital onboarding processes. On the other hand, you will mitigate any risk and fraud attempts before they occur and increase productivity and streamline the work of previously inefficient or costly teams.

More on compliance, anti-fraud and digital onboarding software

These tools are technology platforms designed to automate identity verification and regulatory compliance. They use advanced technologies such as optical character recognition (OCR) and computer vision to extract and validate information from identity documents or directly from the web and generate reports. They incorporate biometrics, such as facial recognition, to compare document images with selfies in real time, ensuring that the user is who they say they are.

In addition, they integrate data analysis and machine learning to assess the risk of customers and companies, identifying suspicious patterns and anomalies. These tools connect to global databases and public registries to verify the legal existence of companies, clients and the authenticity of documents presented or connect with banks, among many other functionalities and options.
