Smart Contract Counterparty KYC

Run smart contract counterparty kyc in seconds with an FCA-aligned workflow built specifically for the UK market.

Overview

Smart Contract Counterparty KYC is part of our UK KYC Verifier suite, engineered for businesses that need to onboard, screen and monitor customers without compromising on speed or compliance. The service is delivered through an API-first platform with hosted pages, mobile SDKs and webhooks, so it slots into any UK onboarding journey.

KYC counterparties before signing UK smart-contract transactions. The check is benchmarked against authoritative UK reference data and independently benchmarked at 99.7% accuracy on uk records. Every result is returned with a confidence score, the underlying evidence, and a signed audit log that satisfies FCA, HMRC and UKGC reviews.

What makes Smart Contract Counterparty KYC different from a generic vendor check is its UK focus. We are not a US tool with a UK plug-in — our document templates, address sources, sanctions feeds and human reviewers are all UK-native. That focus produces materially higher accept rates for legitimate UK applicants while still rejecting the synthetic, tampered and stolen identities that drive fraud losses in the UK market.

How Smart Contract Counterparty KYC Works

  1. 1

    Capture

    Your customer uploads or chips-in the required evidence through our hosted page, native SDK, or your own UI via our REST API.

  2. 2

    AI Analysis

    Our models extract, parse and forensically inspect every artefact — checking holograms, MRZ, NFC chip data, document templates and font kerning against a 240-country reference set.

  3. 3

    Cross-Reference

    We cross-reference the result against authoritative UK sources, sanctions lists and our internal fraud graph, raising flags on any inconsistency.

  4. 4

    UK Human Review

    Edge cases route to a UK-based analyst who applies your risk policy. Most reviews close in under 30 minutes during UK business hours.

  5. 5

    Decision & Audit Pack

    You receive a clear pass/refer/fail decision plus a signed, time-stamped audit pack ready for FCA, HMRC or UKGC inspection.
