Faster onboarding
Seconds, not days. One consent and one signature check replace the upload, review, and resubmit loop.
vs. Legacy KYC
Legacy KYC reads a picture of a document and keeps the file. Syntex checks the signature of the government that issued the credential, and keeps nothing it did not ask for.
Three ways to know who someone is
| Approach | Source of truth | Data you retain | Fraud surface | Verifying again | Cost at scale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Document KYC vendors | A photo of a document | Full document and selfie | Generated forgeries | Run the stack again | Flat per attempt |
| Offshore manual review | A person reading a scan | The entire file | Reviewer judgement | Run the stack again | Rises with volume |
| Syntex | A government signature | Only the attributes asked for | Cryptographically closed | Present the credential again | Falls with scale |
Four advantages that compound

Cheaper
One signature check instead of OCR, liveness, and manual review on every attempt.

Selective disclosure. Nothing to store, nothing to leak.

Fraud surface
A forged government signature cannot be produced.
A fake image can pass. A fake signature cannot.
Document checks measure how real a picture looks. Credential checks verify math that only the issuing government can produce.

You cannot lose what you were never required to keep
A document is copied at every institution it passes through. A credential is presented, verified, and kept by the person.
