FAQ
Billing, security, and compliance questions
What counts as a "verification"?
Each time a client completes the identity verification process — document capture, biometric scan, and AI analysis — that counts as one verification. PEP declaration and KYC checks within the same session are included at no additional cost.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes. You can upgrade at any time and the new limit takes effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. Plan changes are prorated automatically.
What happens if I exceed my monthly verification limit?
On paid plans, verifications above your included limit are billed at a per-verification overage rate ($2.50 for Professional, $2.00 for Business). On the Free plan, verifications are blocked at the limit — upgrade anytime to continue.
Does the Free plan require a credit card?
No. The Free plan is free forever with no credit card required. You get 50 verifications per month including Smart IDV with document verification and biometric face matching.
Do unused verifications roll over?
No. Verification allocations reset at the start of each billing cycle and do not roll over.
What's included in the compliance report?
The compliance report includes the document authenticity result, biometric match score, AI fraud detection score, PEP declaration results, a full audit trail with timestamps and IP, and a risk rating. It's formatted for regulatory file storage.
How does Smart KYC differ from Smart IDV?
Smart IDV verifies who your client is — government ID, biometric matching, fraud detection. Smart KYC adds PEP declarations, enhanced due diligence, business entity verification, and compliance reporting. KYC is available on Business and Enterprise plans.
Is there a sandbox environment for API testing?
Yes. All plans with API access include a full sandbox environment with test document sets and the ability to trigger all verification outcomes (pass, fail, pending) without real identity documents.
Where is verification data stored?
All verification data is processed and stored on SOC 2-certified infrastructure. Document images and biometric data are encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Access is governed by strict role-based controls and all access is logged.
Is Athenty SOC 2 certified?
SOC 2 Type II certification is on our compliance roadmap. Today, we operate on SOC 2-certified infrastructure, encrypt all data at rest and in transit, maintain a full audit trail, and are aligned with PIPEDA and FINTRAC requirements.
Can I get a compliance letter for my regulator?
Yes. On Business and Enterprise plans, we provide a signed compliance letter detailing our security controls, data handling practices, and regulatory alignment for your firm's due diligence or audit requirements. Contact compliance@athenty.com.
What happens if a verification fails?
Failed verifications include a detailed reason (document quality, biometric mismatch, document expiry, etc.) in the verification report. You can re-send the verification invite to the same client at no additional cost — only completed verifications count against your limit.
