Primebiometry - independent KYC & AML research

Description

## About Primebiometry - independent KYC & AML research # PrimeBiometry: Independent KYC & AML Vendor Research Platform PrimeBiometry is an independent research platform for comparing KYC software, AML platforms, and identity verification vendors. We track real per-check pricing, compliance certifications, and SDK quality across 70+ providers so fintech teams, crypto exchanges, and compliance professionals can make informed decisions before talking to a single sales rep. ## The Problem We Solve The KYC and identity verification market has a transparency problem. Most comparison sites present every vendor with a score between 4.7 and 4.9 out of 5, list pricing as "contact sales" across the board, and rank whoever pays the highest referral commission at the top. Buyers end up sitting through three sales cycles before they have enough information to compare options properly. We built PrimeBiometry to fix that. After mapping real pricing across 24 vendors, reviewing API documentation for 70+ platforms, and aggregating thousands of reviews from G2, Gartner, and Capterra, we publish what we actually found including the vendors worth avoiding and why. ## What PrimeBiometry Covers ### Software Categories - KYC Compliance Software: 27 platforms covering identity verification, customer due diligence, sanctions screening, and audit trail quality - AML Platforms: 22 vendors covering transaction monitoring, PEP matching, adverse media, and SAR filing - Biometric Authentication: 41 vendors covering face, fingerprint, voice, and iris verification - Identity Verification: 60 vendors covering document checks, selfie matching, NFC chip reading, and database verification - Document Verification: forensic document authentication, MRZ reading, and hologram detection - KYB Software: business registration checks, UBO discovery, and beneficial ownership screening - Liveness Detection: passive and active SDK comparison with iBeta PAD Level 2 certification status - Fraud Prevention: device fingerprinting, behavioral analytics, and synthetic identity detection ### Free Tools - KYC Cost Calculator: compare real per-check pricing across 24 vendors at your monthly volume, including monthly minimums, AML add-ons, and hidden fees.
