1. Shufti Rapid
In this mode, Shufti provides fully automated AI verification, delivering results in just 10-15 seconds. It is designed to prioritize speed, making it ideal for low-risk verifications where quick processing is essential and regulatory requirements are minimal.
Accuracy may be compromised in this mode due to the focus on speed.
2. Shufti Smart Hybrid
In this mode, Shufti combines the speed of AI with the accuracy of human expertise to deliver highly reliable results within 60 seconds. The AI handles the initial verification, and for certain steps where AI confidence is low, human experts step in to verify the results. This mode is designed to provide a balance between speed and accuracy, making it ideal for verifications that require both efficiency and a higher level of compliance.
3. Shufti Rapid Plus
In this mode, Shufti performs AI verifications in 10-15 seconds, followed by a human review within 24 hours to ensure maximum reliability and trust. This mode is ideal for use cases where quick results are needed, but more detailed analysis can follow afterward to ensure the verifications are correctly processed and accurate.
4. Shufti Live Guard
In this mode, Shufti ensures high accuracy by having human experts conduct real-time verifications, with a processing time of one to three minutes. It is designed for high-risk transactions and situations that require strict regulatory compliance. The involvement of human experts during the entire verification process ensures that every detail is carefully reviewed, making it the ideal choice for scenarios where precision and compliance are paramount.
