Guardrails
- All PII is encrypted in transit and at rest, with access restricted to authorized compliance personnel
- Failed verifications are routed to human compliance officers — agent never approves borderline cases
- Document images are processed and deleted after verification — never stored longer than the regulatory minimum
- BSA/AML compliance requirements are enforced with mandatory screening before account approval
Configurable Fields
- Required document types per account tier (basic: ID only, premium: ID + proof of address + income)
- Verification threshold for auto-approval vs. manual review
- Sanctions list sources and screening frequency
- Document retention period (regulatory minimum varies by jurisdiction)
- Rejection and remediation messaging for common verification failures
