Ballerine is an open-source infrastructure and data orchestration platform for identity verification (KYC/KYB), fraud prevention, and merchant risk decisioning. It provides SDKs, verification flows, OCR document capture, a rule engine, and a back-office case-management dashboard for onboarding and underwriting workflows.

Use cases

• verify customer identity during onboarding with kyc flows
• run kyb checks on merchant businesses before approval
• orchestrate risk decisioning with a rule engine and case management
• capture id cards via camera with ocr and liveness checks
• build a back-office dashboard for fraud and compliance review
• self-host identity verification instead of paying proprietary vendors
• automate merchant underwriting and monitoring workflows

When to choose

• you need customizable, self-hosted KYC/KYB and risk orchestration for fintech onboarding
• you want to combine document verification, OCR, liveness, and rule-based decisions in one flow
• your compliance team needs a case-management back office for manual reviews

When to avoid

• you need a fully managed, certified KYC vendor with out-of-the-box regulatory guarantees
• you only need a simple drop-in identity widget with no orchestration
• your stack cannot run a multi-service TypeScript platform
