RISK INTELLIGENCE – CONSUMER IDV

Verify consumer identity – quickly and efficiently

Explore our seamless, low friction consumer identity verification solution.

Trusted IDV data for seamless, low-friction verification

For FinTechs – from payments companies and crypto platforms to onboarding solutions and tech innovators – consumer identity verification (IDV) is a critical component of daily operations. ​

In today’s digital-first world, effective IDV is not just a regulatory requirement; it’s essential for seamless onboarding, robust fraud prevention, and maintaining customer trust.​

Yet, traditional IDV processes can be time-consuming, frustrating for users, and a major contributor to high abandonment rates. That’s why striking the right balance is key: IDV must be fast and low-friction to meet modern consumer expectations, while still being secure enough to stop bad actors.​

Our data-based IDV solution is designed to reduce customer attrition and accelerate onboarding. It combines third-party data validation, document verification, and biometric checks to verify identities quickly and accurately – without slowing the pace of business. ​

Use Case

Improve match rates by up to 35%

As consumers increasingly favour online channels, the exponential growth of digital marketplaces has brought with it a surge in identity fraud. To combat this global threat, regulations now require organisations to conduct Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, including robust consumer identity verification (IDV). This involves accurately:​

  • Ensuring that customers are who they claim to be​

  • Confirming that submitted identity documents are genuine​

  • Performing liveness tests to prevent spoofing​

These measures are essential not only to protect your customers but also to safeguard your business reputation. At the same time, it’s crucial that these checks are carried out swiftly and efficiently to maintain a seamless and positive customer experience.​

If you’re a fintech or a broad-based financial services firm, we can help you lower customer acquisition costs, improve conversions, and drive revenue.

Our customers have seen up to a 35% uplift in match rates – a key factor in reducing friction and accelerating onboarding. Combined with an average 21% improvement in conversions, our solutions deliver measurable impact where it matters most.​
