Fortress Core Connect, a fast-growing fintech and liquidity infrastructure provider, has entered into a strategic partnership with leading global identity verification platform Shufti. This move brings Fortress Core’s White Label (WL) clients embedded access to AI-powered eKYC and AML screening, drastically improving onboarding speed, compliance reliability, and operational scalability across global markets.
As part of this collaboration, Shufti’s full suite of identity verification capabilities – including biometric facial recognition, document authentication, and full -spectrum AML screening across sanctions, PEPs, watchlists and adverse media – will be seamlessly integrated into Fortress Core’s turnkey white label infrastructure. This empowers Fortress Core’s clients to build and scale compliant, secure financial services from day one.
“We’re not just building brokerages, prop firms or asset managers, we are building regulated, scalable businesses,” said Dany Mawas, CEO of Fortress Core Connect. “By partnering with Shufti, Fortress Core gives every White Label client the same high-end compliance stack used by top-tier institutions. Combined with our market expertise, tier 1 liquidity access provided by ATFX Connect, and full Centroid integration, we are the most complete launchpad for white labels in the market today.”
“Shufti is proud to partner with Fortress Core Connect as we expand our impact across the fintech and trading landscape,” said Shahid Hanif, CEO and Co-Founder of Shufti. “Our shared vision is to make digital finance safer, more inclusive, and ready for tomorrow’s challenges. Through this partnership, we’re combining deep industry knowledge with advanced identity technology to deliver secure, frictionless onboarding at global scale.”
The collaboration marks a significant milestone for both companies. Fortress Core continues its momentum following the acquisition of a Category 1 FSP license in South Africa and strategic integrations with platforms like Fair Trading Technology and Centroid. Meanwhile, Shufti reinforces its commitment to enabling global digital trust, with services spanning 240+ countries and territories, and support in over 150 languages.
Together, Fortress Core and Shufti offer a powerful solution set that unites compliance, technology, and market access – helping clients navigate complex regulatory environments, mitigate risk, and build customer trust in a digital-first economy.
