4 verification workflows for 4 assurance levels

Tailored to your regulatory requirements and risk level.

1. Bank Verification Verifies the banking information associated with an individual.

  • Provides a financial consistency signal based on real data, useful for risk assessment but not sufficient on its own to establish identity.

Level of assurance: Supplemental

2. Biometric identity verification Establishes an individual’s identity using government-issued photo ID(s) and biometric checks.

  • Validates document authenticity and matches the individual to their identity documents.

Level of assurance: High

3. Biometric identity verification + AML/KYC Enhances identity verification with regulatory and reputational risk screening.

  • Enables identification of high-risk profiles (sanctions, politically exposed persons (PEPs), adverse signals) and supports compliance obligations.

Level of assurance: Very high

4. Biometric identity verification + AML/KYC + bank verification Combines biometric identity verification, regulatory risk screening, and bank verification to provide the highest level of assurance.

  • Designed for high-risk contexts and strict regulatory environments.

Level of assurance: Maximum
