Verification results

To determine the customers final status, first the KYC provider makes a decision. Then your application makes a decision using ComPilot's predefined automations and the rules set in the ComPilot Rules Engine. As a developer or compliance officer, it is sometimes useful for you to know what combinations of statuses are possible.

The decisions are shown in the following tables.

KYC decisionMeaning
PassedThe customer has successfully passed the KYC checks
RejectedThe customer has failed the KYC checks and may not retry
RetryThe customer has failed the KYC checks and may retry
Application decisionMeaning
ActiveCustomer approved by your application
FailedCustomer temporarily banned by your application but can retry
RejectedCustomer permanently banned by your application and cannot retry

The application decision becomes the customer's status. For more information, see Customer statuses.

For a workflow that uses a KYC provider, the ComPilot Rules Engine, and AML checks, the following cases are possible.
