Carousel Update: Async Verification is Here

Blazing-fast verifications — without waiting on third parties.

We’ve re-architected Carousel’s processing engine to support fully asynchronous workflows, allowing you to collect, verify, and decision applicant data in parallel — instead of waiting for each provider step to finish before moving forward.

The result?

Instant handoff. Faster decisions. Zero bottlenecks.

What’s New

Parallel Step Execution

Steps like KYC, IBV, credit checks, and document uploads can now be triggered simultaneously — cutting total processing time by up to 70%.

Example:

→ While Flinks verifies bank data, Carousel can collect ID docs, run fraud checks, and trigger rule-based scoring — all at once.

Instant Feedback, Deferred Sync

Applicants can now proceed through the entire flow without hitting “loading” blocks.

Even if third-party data is still processing in the background, Carousel securely syncs results as they arrive and applies decisions in real time.

Smarter Step Dependency Logic

You can now define when steps must be completed before others — or when they can run in parallel.

This gives you full control over flow speed and accuracy.

Retry & Timeout Handling (Built In)

Async steps include:

  • Auto-retry on provider errors

  • Timeout thresholds

  • Fallback logic (e.g. if income check fails, request upload)

All without blocking the user.

Why It Matters

Most onboarding tools are linear by design — slowing your team down while they wait for third-party services to respond.

With Carousel’s new async engine, everything moves faster — and smarter — without compromising data integrity or decision quality.

Results From Early Access Clients:

  • 70% reduction in average processing time

  • 2.3× more completed applications per hour

  • Fewer drop-offs, smoother UX, and happier ops teams
