Best KYC & AML Providers in Brazil
Brazil is a fast-moving market. Pix, instant onboarding, hundreds of new digital wallets every month. And yet, the payments ecosystem is subject to some of the highest customer due diligence standards in the world. That means onboarding in Brazil also needs to go faster. Which is why this page compiles the best KYC/AML tools for Brazil — the software you can integrate in days, the provider you can trust when your volumes grow, and the solution that will stand up to scrutiny from the Central Bank of Brazil and COAF.
Fit matters more than features. Great service in this context will verify individuals and companies against domestic data sources (CPF/CNPJ), parse local IDs reliably, and have low latency under onboarding spikes. Our list prioritizes providers that integrate identity verification, sanctions/PEP screening, and risk scoring into a single pipeline—because developers don’t want to manage five different dashboards for each step. API-first? Of course. Clear SLAs? Yes. Proven track record of catching real fraud, not just a whitepaper about it? Non-negotiable.
This page is for fintechs solving for conversion while keeping the bad actors out. Banks upgrading legacy stacks and platforms. Crypto exchanges that want to build a clean user base from the ground up. Marketplaces and lenders that need to scale KYC from thousands to millions of customers. You’ll find software with deep integration for each use case, whether lightweight eKYC or end-to-end AML with transaction monitoring.
Key capabilities to look for:
- Local precision: CPF/CNPJ validation, document parsing tuned to Brazilian IDs.
- Speed + UX: sub-second checks, fallback flows, crisp error handling.
- Depth: sanctions/PEP, adverse media, ongoing monitoring—one pipeline.
- Control: audit trails, explainable risk models, auditable rules.
- Scale: elastic infrastructure, fair pricing, bilingual support.
We built this category to help you pick once and scale confidently. Start with a solution that proves accuracy on your traffic. Keep the integration simple. Measure conversion lift, fraud drop, and review time saved. Compliance should protect growth—not slow it.
