- Payments, crypto, forex and online trading platforms onboarding customers in dozens of countries
- Marketplaces and platforms that need to verify businesses as well as their beneficial owners

Frequently asked questions
What does Trulioo actually verify?
Four in-house capability sets: KYC data (identity matching against 450+ data partners), KYC documents (document, liveness and passive biometric checks with deepfake and synthetic-ID detection), business verification (KYB plus KYC in one workflow, 500 registration-number formats and 150 normalised fields), and person fraud (email, phone and network risk signals). Coverage spans 195 countries and more than 14,000 document types in 43 languages.
How is Trulioo priced, and what will it cost us?
Trulioo does not publish a price list; the pricing page routes buyers to a demo, and the site describes one integrated platform under one contract. Cost therefore depends on which modules you enable, verification volume and the regions you cover, and must be quoted. Budget for a custom annual agreement rather than a published per-seat or per-check rate.
How long does implementation take?
The vendor positions integration as light: one token and one endpoint for the Trulioo API, with modular SDKs or a no-code/low-code hosted user interface if you prefer not to build the front end. Transactions are quoted at under 5.2 seconds, and the Developer Portal provides API and SDK guides. Trulioo publishes no formal implementation timeline, so plan a pilot with your compliance team before a full rollout.
Which security and compliance credentials does Trulioo hold?
Trulioo states it has been ISO 27001-certified since 2015 and obtained SOC 2 Type 2 in February 2024. Its security page describes encryption of data at rest and in transit, least-privilege access, annual penetration testing, third-party risk management and annual internal audits, and says the company aligns with the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Security documentation is available on request.
How do we get support after go-live?
Trulioo's contact page lists a technical support email and phone number and states that it provides 24/7 customer support worldwide. Self-serve documentation for the APIs and SDKs lives in the Trulioo Developer Portal. The site does not publish plan-level support entitlements, escalation paths or response-time SLAs, so confirm those during contracting.
