Key Features

      Identity Verification and Authentication

      Identity Verification: We have over 1bn data items to support identity and the
      associated risk process. Using name and address matching, personal attributes
      and bank account verification our customers can verify that the identity exists and
      is valid.

      Knowledge Based Authentication: Using a series of highly configurable
      knowledge based questions based on a variety of data sources, customers can
      gain further assurance that an identity is authentic.

      Email: Analyse email addresses against a database of email address metadata
      and the world’s largest list of categorised domains to deliver an email address
      risk score that indicates the likelihood of fraudulent transactions associated with
      that email.

      Biometrics

      Biometric Document Verification: Using biometric document verification, users
      can prove their identity by digitally validating recognised documents like a
      passport or driver’s licence. The user experience is simple, fast and secure, and
      can check for document legitimacy, facial recognition and liveness.
