Why Open Source KYC/KYB & Risk stack?

The goal is to allow any company to manage user identity and risk in a way that suits them and their unique changing needs.
Main Open Source benefits:

• Future proof – modular and extendable building blocks.
• Global – Multiple vendors accessible in one UI and case management dashboard.
• White label – Customizable UX and UI.
• Community – Use what others have built, contribute yourself, and leverage community maintenance.

• Customizable UI and flow to fit your desired experience and brand.
• Embeddable, use different vendors in the backend.
• Edges cases and long-tail devices covered and tested.
• Lightweight and performant, built with Svelte (less than 50kb gzipped).

Workflow builder & Rule engine (WIP)

Description

Customize your identity and risk workflows in code or with a low-code platform non-technical staff can play with.

• Test out different vendors to optimize conversion and costs.
• Utilize data sources and tools contributed by Ballerine or the community.
• Visualize complex flows to provide observability of how things work to the rest of the company.

Our rule engine is still in development. Join our mailing list in the button below to get an update once it’s out.

Standalone/Iframe Flows

Code example:

Native Mobile apps

All of the native functionalities happen inside Ballerine’s native SDKs (Android & iOS Cameras, Sim checks, Fraud checks) while the representation layer is still a web app (inside a native webview).

This way we can enjoy both worlds:

• Web UI: Flexible UI that can be changed instantly from the server (no app deployments or store submissions).
• Native APIs: Native camera, deep behavioral analysis, ekyc and more…

See Android and iOS repositories for guidance:

Android SDK | iOS SDK

Customization

Customize the UI, the flow’s steps, and the backend.

Flows Configuration

Flow Initialization:

BallerineSDK.flows.init([CONFIG])

Running a flow:

BallerineSDK.flows.mount('my-flow', elementId, [CONFIG]);
// or
BallerineSDK.flows.openModal('my-flow', [CONFIG]);

FlowsCallbacksConfig:

UI Configuration

Flows UI can be configured in three levels:

1. Theme and theme styles

2. General components styles (overrides theme)

3. Speceifc step component style (overrides theme & general component style)

As the level is lower it will override the upper ones

Translations

Backend Configuration

If you currently don’t have a commercial agreement with KYC vendors, you can use some of the vendors we already integrated with (Identity verification, AML check, etc.), to quickly start processing user’s KYC requests. To do so please contacs us at oss@ballerine.io.
