Three reasons global brokers pick Deepvue for India onboarding.

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

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.

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.

End-to-end median: under 60 seconds. Compare against your current Onfido / Sumsub / Trulioo flow side-by-side in a 15-min walkthrough.

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.

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.

RBI-format audit trail, on-demand export
KYC sourced via authorized partner integrations
Paperwork & controls
SOC 2 Type II controls (in audit)

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.

Common questions from compliance and product leads.

Real questions, asked in evaluation calls. 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).
