Where Pegalio fits

If your priority is owning the onboarding workflow — a branded portal, structured document collection, role-based approvals, automations, and an immutable audit log, with the freedom to self-host or keep data in the EU — Pegalio is built for that. If you primarily need native, high-volume identity verification, pair Pegalio with a specialized IDV provider or choose one of the verification suites above.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between an IDV suite and an onboarding platform?

An identity-verification (IDV) suite performs the checks — document, biometric, screening. An onboarding platform orchestrates the end-to-end process around those checks: portal, forms, approvals, automation, and audit.

Can I use Pegalio with an existing KYC vendor?

Yes. Pegalio integrates with verification and screening vendors so you can keep your provider and standardize the surrounding workflow.

Which option supports self-hosting?

Pegalio offers self-hosting with full feature parity. Most native IDV suites are SaaS only.
