Our identity verification experts will verify the user data submitted and determine his/her legitimacy.

Through digital identity verification, users can get verified within 30-60 seconds.

Being GDPR compliant, we conduct the identity verification process in a safe and secure way. The customer data acquired is stored appropriately.

Commonly used data sources for identity verification include consumer data, database from the electoral roll, government-issued information (passports, driver’s license), data from mobile network operators (MNO), property ownership details, utility data source (telephone, gas, electricity), watchlists and sanctions lists screening, and more.

Identity verification is a one-time process where a user’s information is verified to ensure their legitimacy and check if they comply with regulatory mandates.
Whereas, identity authentication is the consistent process of validating a customer every time they access an account or device. It could be through a password or biometric verification (fingerprint/facial verification)

Identity validation means checking if the data provided by a customer is real. On contrary, identity verification includes additional checks that link customers to the data and ensure that the ID document is associated with a genuine individual.

 Customer Identification

Analyze customers’ government-issued ID documents, validate their personal information and check if he is a part of sanctions lists.

Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

CDD includes verifying customers’ data against available data sources to determine the purpose of the deal. It includes ongoing monitoring to track suspicious activities and mitigate risks.  

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

If the customer’s profile is known to be high risk, enhanced due diligence is performed. High-risk include those who’re a part of PEP, OFAC lists.

Video KYC, also known as video identification is a digital face-to-face identity verification. Companies carry out the identity verification process of remote clients through a video call assisted by a KYC specialist.

Although KYB and KYC verification seem similar, there is a thin line of difference between both.
The key difference lies in the details required to verify identity. KYC verification (Know Your Customer) is all about verifying an individual’s identity, whereas, KYB checks include the verification of a business’s existence.
Under KYC, the solution provider verifies government-issued ID documents such as Social Security Card, passports, PAN cards, and more. In the case of KYB, the service provider will verify business details including registration number, date of incorporation, annual financial statements, and more.

Anti-money laundering (AML) refers to the activities performed by financial institutions to remain regulatory compliant, detect suspicious activities and monitor risks.  

Anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions lists are databases of suspected terrorists, money launderers, or Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs). AML watchlist screening allows companies to meet AML/KYC regulatory obligations by offering database verification in real-time.
