How it works
-
Face matching and liveness
We test for liveness by asking the user to smile at the camera. The algorithm will take a series of images and analyse them to ensure that the photo is of a living human being. We then match the photo to one that exists in the national ID authority.
-
Minimize onboarding costs
Reduce onboarding time through a frictionless onboarding process while reducing KYC compliance costs associated with manual checks.
