What Exato Digital does

Exato Digital is a Brazilian background verification platform founded in 2019, headquartered in Vila Velha, Espírito Santo. The company provides automated pre-employment and entity background checks for medium and large enterprises, financial institutions, and other regulated buyers, aggregating data from over 300 sources — including the Internal Revenue Service (Receita Federal), the Federal Police, the Superior Labor Court (TST), Jusbrasil, and the Quod credit bureau — and consolidating them into standardized, auditable reports delivered in up to 3 minutes versus the 2–4 day industry norm. The platform spans individual (CPF) and legal entity (CNPJ) reports, with specialized sub-products: FlashCheck (KYC/analytics), DocCheck (liveness-based identity validation), and SafeCheck (education-sector screening). A public REST API with Swagger documentation supports programmatic verification and integration into HR and onboarding systems, alongside batch-search and self-service web portal channels.

The company's core technology uses AI to analyze structured data across its 300+ source network, applying anomaly detection and indicator logic for KYC, KYE, KYP, and KYS compliance workflows. All processing is conducted under Brazil's LGPD regime, with legal advisory from Pinheiro Neto Advogados. Exato operates a hybrid go-to-market combining enterprise direct sales (anchored by clients such as B3, Uber, JBS, Veolia, Huawei, Accenture, Grupo Fleury, Stone, and Grupo Globo) with product-led self-service and an API-first developer channel. Revenue is generated primarily through per-report transaction fees ranging from R$ 19.95 to R$ 49.90 (with volume discounts up to 50% at the highest tier) and a postpaid subscription with a R$ 495 monthly minimum, with 500+ customers and over 60 million CPFs verified in the trailing twelve months.

Direct peers

• idwall: Brazilian identity verification and KYC platform offering CPF/CNPJ validation, facial biometrics, and background checks via API. Direct competitor targeting the same enterprise customers and use cases (recruitment, KYC, supplier verification) in Brazil.
• UNICO: Leading Brazilian identity verification and biometric authentication provider serving banks, fintechs, and enterprises with KYC and fraud prevention APIs. Overlaps directly with Exato's CPF verification and liveness detection capabilities.

Emerging players

• Truora: Latin American background check and identity validation platform operating across multiple countries. Comparable in offering automated background screening and KYC for HR and fintech use cases, though with broader geographic footprint than Exato.
• Persona: US-headquartered identity verification and KYC platform with configurable flows for background checks, document verification, and AML. Increasingly used by LatAm-adjacent tech companies and competing for global enterprise KYC spend.

Others

• Quod: Brazilian credit bureau and data analytics provider integrated into Exato's verification reports. While partly a partner, Quod operates adjacent data infrastructure that could be assembled by competitors to bypass Exato's aggregation layer.

Broad incumbents

• Sumsub: Global identity verification, KYC/AML, and fraud prevention platform with growing LatAm presence. Competes with Exato for enterprise and fintech KYC contracts but serves a much broader international market.
• Onfido: Global identity verification provider (now part of Entrust) offering document verification, biometric authentication, and KYC. Competes in regulated KYC and onboarding workflows; increasingly localized for Brazil and LatAm.
• Veriff: Global identity verification platform providing AI-powered document and biometric verification for KYC and AML compliance. A broad incumbent expanding across verticals and geographies that competes for enterprise verification contracts.
• Jumio: Established global identity verification and KYC/AML platform serving banks, fintechs, and online businesses. Provides end-to-end identity proofing comparable to Exato's combined ID + liveness stack, with much broader geographic reach.
• Mitek Systems: Global digital identity and fraud prevention company offering mobile capture, ID verification, and biometric authentication. A long-tenured incumbent in the broader IDV category where Exato competes for enterprise RFPs.
