How is it different from other ID verification providers?

The same checks: document, data, liveness, face match. On top: a person on every unsure case, a reason and next step for your customer, and one result your platform and funding partner share.

Can we switch from our current provider?

Yes. It is built to replace an existing ID check. Inside Slate it will be a setting; anywhere else it is one API call, and the decision comes back by webhook.

Yes, for Slate partners. Everyone else can join the waitlist, starting with companies in Canada, a few at a time.

What happens when a check isn’t sure?

A person at Slate looks at it. Slate will not decline a customer on its own when a check isn’t sure, and your customer gets the reason and one next step instead of try again.

Does it work in French?

Not yet. French is coming in early 2027.

Do customers verify again the next time they apply?

No. A customer verified with you will stay verified, so the ID step is already done when they come back.

If you’re on Slate, it will be a setting, and your customers see it inside your application. Any other company will create a verification with one API call and get the decision back by webhook.

Does it replace our whole compliance program?

No. It confirms a person is who they say they are. Checks like sanctions screening are separate.

500 free checks a month for your first year. Above that, you pay per check, and we’ll share pricing when you join the waitlist.

Real customers fail the ID check.Then they leave.

A blurry photo, a message that says try again, and no one to ask why. That is where applications end.

With Slate Verify: the reason, and one next step.

ID is where embedded finance stalls.So we built our own.

Every platform adding financing asks the same things: who runs the ID check, who keeps the data, and what happens when a real customer fails. We hit them on our own applications, so we built Verify for embedded finance, where a platform and its partners all need the result.

Capture.The camera does the work.

Their licence, then a short selfie. The camera finds the edges and takes the photo, and Slate checks the document, the live person and the face.

Review.A person, not a dead end.

When a check isn’t sure, Slate will not decline on its own. A person at Slate looks, and your customer learns what to fix. Retake the front, and they’re through.
