Enterprise-Grade Identity Verification
The Live Biometric Verification API provides comprehensive identity verification for KYC compliance, fraud prevention, and secure access control. Verify users in real-time with industry-leading accuracy.
The Growing Threat of Identity Fraud
Identity fraud has evolved far beyond stolen credit cards and forged signatures. Today's fraudsters use sophisticated techniques: high-quality printed photos, video playback attacks, 3D-printed masks, and AI-generated deepfakes. Traditional verification methods—asking users to take a selfie or upload an ID—are easily defeated by these attacks.
The stakes are enormous. Financial institutions lose billions annually to account takeover and synthetic identity fraud. Businesses face regulatory penalties for inadequate KYC processes. And consumers suffer the consequences of compromised identities—damaged credit, financial losses, and the long process of recovery.
Effective verification requires proving three things: the person is who they claim to be (identity matching), they are physically present (liveness detection), and their documents are authentic (document verification). Only by combining all three can businesses truly trust the identity behind the screen.
