FaceMatch

FaceMatching is the process of comparing a portrait from an ID document photo with a selfie picture to make sure that they both belong to the same person.

The system will compare the customer’s selfie with the customer’s photograph in the uploaded identity document.

Liveness Detection

Liveness Detection ensures that the users are “live” by asking them to complete a task on the camera (smiling, blinking, or turning their head). This prevents users from fraudulent submissions of pre-recorded videos, 3D masks, etc.

The system will determine whether the customer is the same living person as indicated in the identity document being verified. For that, the customer has to perform several actions on camera. This is the most powerful anti-fraud tool. Also, this service prevents cybercriminals from using bots to load the system.

The verification results are recorded and can be extracted for further usage in your system.

Note:

It's not possible to use liveness in creating requests by API

AML Watchlists

Protect your business and reputation using a risk-based approach. Check your customers' data globally against 11+ million screened profiles.

This verification is, in most cases, compulsory for financial organisations. IDscan checks the customer in all global law enforcement databases, sanctions lists and PEP lists, and searches the mass media for any mentions. Your KYC officer can use this information if the customer verification process yielded a negative result.

AML and KYC Compliance Service description : Here

Sanctions Lists

Identify people associated with criminal activity, national and global sanctions. Over 800 global lists (OFAC, HMT, FINRA, Interpol).

Governments and financial authorities around the world make the sanctions list, which includes people who were suspected of being involved in illegal activities. Any financial services should check the sanctions list and check the compliance status of potential clients not to get involved in money laundering or other criminal activities. Financial institutions should know when they receive the name matching with the name on the list. Sanctions lists include the United States' Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List, and the consolidated lists used by the United Kingdom, the European Union, and the United Nations.

PEPs (Politically Exposed Persons)

Continuously updated data on PEPs and their close associates. 1.6 million complete and detailed PEP profiles.

Adverse Media

Get more information about your clients for better risk assessment and management. Billions of screened media articles with constantly updated data.

Regulations

Stay compliant with global regulatory requirements (FATF, FINMA, FCA, CySEC, MAS, FSA, BaFin).

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is the global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog which rules apply to European countries. Each country has an AML-regulating body like BaFin in Germany, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) – in France, CySEC - Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission in Cyprus, etc. On the supranational level, The European Commission (EC) controls AML-policy. EC is the executive branch of power in the European Union. Recently European Commission proposed the creation of AMLA. This will be a new EU authority that will transform AML/CFT supervision in the EU and enhance cooperation among financial intelligence units (FIUs). It will be the central authority coordinating national authorities to ensure the private sector correctly and consistently applies EU rules.
