Onfido (Entrust)
Onfido, now Entrust Identity Verification: document and biometric checks, database checks in 68 countries, watchlist screening and fraud signals.
What it does
Each capability by country. Integrated means Unirail’s adapter does it today; listed means Onfido (Entrust) offers it according to its public documentation, and Unirail can’t route it yet.

Account schemes
Custody
Who holds the money while a payment through Onfido (Entrust) is in flight. Unirail records custody on every leg, and your routing policy decides which kinds are allowed.
- noneNo custody
Nobody holds the money. The payer’s bank pays the payee’s bank directly; the provider only instructs it.
Who is regulated
Not a payment provider; it processes identity data for the platform. Unirail hasn't checked its regulatory status.
With your own contract, you stay the provider’s customer. Unirail acts as your technical service provider and calls Onfido (Entrust) with your credentials.
Onboarding
- Sandbox
- Sandbox on request
- Production
- Contract with the provider
Sandbox access appears to go through sales (inferred).
Credentials
Onfido (Entrust) has no adapter yet, so there is no folder layout to create. It will appear here when the provider is integrated.
