Veriff updates automated ID verification product

Veriff has made significant updates to its identification verification platform, which has the capacity to eliminate manual interventions with a fully automated verification process.

The updated platform now provides a faster validation response time, according to the announcement. It can now produce an output in five seconds and has a higher conversion rate for new customer onboarding and is a good fit for risk-tolerant businesses, the announcement claims. Veriff’s ID verification also includes face biometrics and passive liveness detection with assisted image capturing.

The platform also provides organizations with more in-depth insights about the session to inform onboarding decision making. The insights give a detailed account of what happened during the verification session, so customers can adjust their onboarding accordingly.

“This solution is ideal for businesses that require the fastest speed, highest conversion, and detailed session insights to provide their customers an extra layer of security,” says Veriff Senior VP Suvrat Joshi.

Veriff’s identity verification automation advancements improve both fully automated and hybrid versions of the product. Unlike the fully automated version, the hybrid version combines automation with trained verification specialists to add flexibility and improve fraud prevention and accuracy.
