Most global KYC vendors retrofit India support. Deepvue is **India-Stack-native** — built around Aadhaar, DigiLocker, UPI, and the regulatory expectations that come with operating here. Onboard before they bounce 01 · Conversion Indian traders compare 3-4 brokers before depositing. Every minute in onboarding leaks pipeline. 60-second DigiLocker pull (Aadhaar + PAN) Penny-drop bank check before first deposit Mobile + email verification, single API FEMA-aligned audit trails 02 · Compliance When the RBI or your global compliance lead asks "show me the trail," you have a timestamped one — not a Notion doc. Encrypted, immutable check logs DPDP-aligned consent capture FATF travel-rule + AML screening hooks Catch mule accounts at signup 03 · Fraud Indian trader fraud has its own signatures — recycled phone numbers, mismatched bank ownership, deepfake selfies. Native detection beats off-the-shelf. Face match + liveness, in-house ML Mobile number revocation list (MNRL) PEP, sanctions, adverse-media screening Brokers running India through **Onfido, Sumsub, or Trulioo** typically retrofit India support on top of a global engine. Deepvue is built India-first — same regulator language, same data sources, same audit expectations the local entity uses. ## Why global KYC stacks fail at Indian forex onboarding. If you're running Onfido, Sumsub, or Trulioo for India and your conversion rate is stuck below 60%, here's what the data usually shows. Global stack on Indian users No DigiLocker — manual photo upload kills funnel PAN parsed as a string, not validated against authority No bank account check — mule accounts slip through Audit trail in EU format — RBI doesn't accept Deepvue, India-Stack-native DigiLocker pulls Aadhaar + PAN with consent in one click PAN, GST, DIN validated against source registries Penny-drop bank verification before deposit funds release FEMA-aligned audit trail, RBI-format-ready Currently running Onfido, Sumsub, or Trulioo for India? 15-min walkthrough comparing your current stack against an India-Stack-native flow. No commitment. [Talk to a Specialist](/contact/) [Request a Demo](/demo/) ## The bundled stack — six APIs, one onboarding flow. Every check a global forex broker needs to onboard an Indian trader, wired to call as a chain or independently — your call.

[Explore](/face-match-api/) Bank + IFSC Verification Penny-drop confirms ownership before first deposit lands. IFSC validated against branch registry. [Explore](/ifsc-verification-api/) PEP & Sanctions Screening Global PEP, sanctions, adverse-media lists. Vendor-supported screening, structured risk indicators. Mobile + MNRL Check Number intelligence + revocation-list screening — block recycled-number mule accounts at signup. [Explore](/mnrl-api/) ## How global brokers run India onboarding on Deepvue. From a trader landing on your signup page to first deposit cleared — a typical day in your funnel. 01 Trader picks "I'm in India" Your signup form routes Indian users into the Deepvue flow. One-click DigiLocker consent screen renders. 02 Aadhaar + PAN + Face captured DigiLocker pulls Aadhaar & PAN. Liveness selfie captured and matched against the Aadhaar photo. 03 Bank + screening fire in parallel Penny-drop bank check + IFSC + PEP / sanctions / MNRL run concurrently. Each result feeds the decision engine. 04 Decision returned, audit logged APPROVE / REVIEW / REJECT with full check history. FEMA-format audit trail. Trader funds the account.

The regulations the regulator (and your global compliance lead) actually asks about — and which Deepvue capabilities map to each. RBI / FEMA FEMA, 1999 All inbound forex onboarding from Indian residents. KYC, identity, audit-trail expectations. RBI RBI Master Direction on KYC Defines acceptable KYC flows for Indian users. Aadhaar e-KYC, OVDs, video-KYC, periodic refresh. AML PMLA, 2002 Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Mandates customer due diligence, record-keeping, suspicious-transaction reporting. FATF FATF Recommendations Recommendation 10 (CDD), 12 (PEPs), 16 (Travel Rule for crypto-FX). Applies to global brokers via home regulator. DATA DPDP Act, 2023 Digital Personal Data Protection. Consent, purpose limitation, data-fiduciary duties for all Indian user data. DATA IT Act, 2000 (Sec 43A) Reasonable security practices for sensitive personal data. Encryption, access controls, breach response. SCREENING UN, OFAC, EU sanctions Sanctions list screening at onboarding and monitored throughout the trader lifecycle. SCREENING PEP & Adverse Media Politically Exposed Persons screening per FATF R12. Adverse media flags reputational risk. This map is informational, not legal advice. Your home regulator's framework (FCA, CySEC, ASIC, MAS, NFA) layers on top — Deepvue's audit trail is built to satisfy both. ## From WhatsApp lead to first deposit — what your funnel looks like. Most Indian forex traders find brokers via Telegram channels, YouTube reviews, or affiliate WhatsApp groups. The funnel from "interested" to "funded" usually breaks at one of three places. Where the funnel breaks Step 1 — KYC takes >3 min, trader bounces to competitor Step 2 — Bank account doesn't match name, deposit blocked Step 3 — Manual review queue clogs, trader funds elsewhere Step 4 — Mule account slips through, chargeback weeks later Step 5 — Compliance asks for audit trail, you have screenshots Deepvue collapses Steps 1-3 into **under 60 seconds** with one chained call. Step 4 is caught at signup via MNRL + bank-ownership match. Step 5 is a single API call that returns the **FEMA-format audit trail** for any trader, anytime. Show me the audit trail RBI actually accepts. 15-min walkthrough — bring a sample trader profile, leave with a side-by-side comparison vs. your current stack.

Cut payouts to abusive sub-affiliates without slowing legitimate signups. ## Built for global brokers, regulated for India. Your home regulator (FCA, CySEC, ASIC, MAS, NFA) and the Indian framework (FEMA, RBI, DPDP) ask for different things. Deepvue's audit trail satisfies both. India-side commitments DPDP-aligned consent capture per check RBI-format audit trail, on-demand export KYC sourced via authorized partner integrations Paperwork & controls SOC 2 Type II controls (in audit) ISO 27001 aligned GDPR-compatible DPA available Vendor sub-processor list under MSA Deepvue is not a regulator and does not represent itself as RBI, SEBI, UIDAI, or any government authority. Customers retain full responsibility for their broker-side compliance with FEMA, FATF, and home-country licensing. Deepvue provides the verification infrastructure and structured audit trail; the regulatory decisioning is yours. Applicable regulations All API interactions are protected using encryption, role-based access controls, and audit logging. ## Volume pricing for global brokers. Onboarding bundles tier with monthly trader volume. Pay per chained decision, not per individual API call. INR or USD invoicing. Pricing scales with monthly Indian trader volumechecks per onboarding (3, 5, 7+)PEP / sanctions screening includeddedicated SLA & support tierINR or USD invoicing Most global brokers running 1k-10k Indian onboardings per month land in the **per-decision** range similar to Onfido/Sumsub global pricing — but with India-Stack-native checks already included, no per-vendor surcharges.

If yours isn't here, book a 15-min walkthrough — we'll answer it live. We're already running Onfido / Sumsub / Trulioo. Why switch for India? You don't have to switch globally. Most brokers route Indian users specifically into Deepvue while keeping their global stack for everyone else. The reason: India-Stack-native flows (DigiLocker, UPI, Aadhaar e-KYC) materially out-convert retrofit flows for Indian users — typically 25-30 percentage points on completion rate. Is Deepvue a registered KUA / authorized intermediary with UIDAI? Deepvue procures Aadhaar-related KYC data via authorized partner integrations operating within their applicable licenses and regulatory authorizations. We don't independently issue or operate the registries; we provide the integration and audit-trail layer on top. Where is Indian user data stored? Indian servers by default. Storage arrangements are negotiated per MSA, with defaults aligned to DPDP and applicable sector regulations. Does the audit trail satisfy our home regulator (FCA, CySEC, ASIC, MAS, NFA)? Yes — the trail captures consent, source-of-data, timestamp, decision rationale, and full check history per FATF Recommendation 10/12 expectations. Brokers regulated by FCA, CySEC, ASIC, MAS, and NFA have used the same export format with their auditors. How long does integration take? Sandbox in a day. Production with traffic split inside 1-2 weeks for most brokers. The longest part is usually your internal QA, not our integration. What about CFD restrictions on Indian retail traders? FEMA and SEBI rules on resident-Indian retail forex/CFD trading are nuanced and your responsibility — Deepvue does not advise on whether you can serve a given trader. We provide the verification, screening, and audit trail; you make the regulatory call. ## Is Deepvue the right India onboarding partner for a global forex broker? **Deepvue** provides India-Stack-native KYC, identity, banking, and screening infrastructure built specifically for global forex and CFD brokers serving Indian traders. It delivers DigiLocker pulls, in-house face match + liveness, penny-drop bank verification, PEP/sanctions screening, and a FEMA-format audit trail in a single decisioning chain — typically routed for Indian users alongside a broker's existing global stack (Onfido, Sumsub, Trulioo). ## Onboard your next Indian trader in under 60 seconds.
