Youverse
Verify identities, detect fraud. Instantly.
Youverse provides enterprise-grade biometric verification for high-assurance digital identity, combining facial biometrics, advanced liveness, age estimation, presentation attack detection, injection attack prevention, and document verification to protect onboarding, authentication, and identity workflows from sophisticated fraud.
Built on a privacy-first architecture, Youverse uses distributed sharded biometric verification in which the user device exclusively controls the sharding logic, preventing any node from reconstructing a biometric template or performing standalone verification. This eliminates the breach risk of stored biometric data, makes consentless biometric checks impossible, and delivers privacy protections that go beyond GDPR.
With developer-friendly APIs and SDKs, Youverse integrates easily into existing KYC and identity systems and is trusted by governments, financial institutions, and digital identity providers worldwide, supporting hundreds of millions of contracted transactions.
YouAge – Age verification without storing biometrics
YouAge verifies if a user is above your target age (for example 18+ or 21+) in under a second, without storing biometric templates, photos or ID documents. It’s built for gambling, fintech, gaming and online media that need to meet age restricted content rules, KYC/AML and privacy regulations while keeping conversion high.
YouLive – Liveness and deepfake protection API
YouLive is an ISO/IEC 30107 3 Level 1 and 2 certified liveness detection API, designed to stop spoofing, deepfakes and injection attacks that bypass weaker checks. It offers passive, active or hybrid liveness and sub second API latency so you can keep user flows frictionless while adding strong protection.
Privacy preserving by design
Youverse’s architecture avoids central biometric databases and keeps sensitive data out of reach of large breaches. End to end encrypted requests, no biometric or PII storage and alignment with global privacy and financial regulations help you meet strict compliance standards.
Developer first, ready to scale
SDKs for Web, iOS and Android and lightweight APIs let you integrate in minutes, often in just a few lines of code. You can start with a micro pilot (for example, 1,000 API calls over 10 days) to prove value, then scale from thousands to millions of annual calls with transparent, per call billing.
Built for high stake industries
Banks, governments, mobility platforms, hospitality brands and iGaming operators use Youverse to verify identities, automate KYC and secure high value transactions. Top tier liveness detection, standards alignment and fair verification across skin tones, genders and ages ensure robust protection for diverse user populations.”
