What Is Biometric Authentication?

Biometric authentication means using unique biological indicators for verification. This could include your likeness (e.g. selfie authentication), a fingerprint or eye scan. Biometric verification is more secure than traditional authentication methods. Additionally, it can help foster a smoother, faster customer experience.

Verification with Facial Recognition

Facial recognition technology – which is commonly used in biometric ID verification – examines the geometry of the face in precise detail. Our platform authenticates a selfie and compares it to your driver’s license photo. The result is more accurate ID verification.

Why Use Facial Recognition?

The majority of, if not all, mobile devices in use today feature a camera

Minimal setup is needed. These features come standard on the majority of modern mobile devices.

Customers only need to look at the camera on their device to take a selfie
