The real problem

Every day of KYC friction is a day a legitimate customer waits to give you money.

Legacy verification tools were built for a world with weekly batch jobs and compliance teams who had time to review manually. That world is gone.

The modern compliance challenge is three-pronged: speed (applicants expect near-instant decisions), accuracy (fraud is more sophisticated and synthetic identities are harder to detect), and continuity (a clean onboarding doesn't mean a clean customer in 18 months). Point-in-time verification solves one third of the problem.

Salmon's AI engine handles all three. Real-time verification at point of application. Multi-source triangulation that catches what single-source APIs miss. And continuous post-onboarding monitoring that flags changes to your approved customer base before they become your compliance team's problem.

How the market works
Jumio / Persona
Document-based identity verification. Strong for consumer ID, limited coverage of professional credentials, employment, and business legitimacy.
LexisNexis / OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) APIs
Sanctions and watchlist screening. Single-purpose, not comprehensive identity or credential verification.
Manual review team
Thorough but slow. At scale, you're either creating a bottleneck or building a large headcount you don't want.
"Salmon replaces the patchwork. One integration, real-time, continuous."
Practitioner perspective
KYC onboarding used to take 3–4 days of manual review. With Salmon's real-time verification we're under 2 hours. The compliance team finally has bandwidth for strategy, not paperwork.
