Benefits

ID Verification provides a fast, easy way to verify a user’s identity information when accessing services. Backed by Mastercard security technology and designed with privacy in mind, ID Verification is a better way to verify user data.

Smarter Security

Increase assurance levels of identity verification by verifying an individual’s mobile number. The data received is encrypted to keep user information secure.

Simple Verification and Data Maintenance

Verify user data in real-time, simplifying the way you know your customer and perform data maintenance.

Better User Experience

Allow users to avoid the hassle of providing physical documents, so they can quickly fill out forms and enroll in services.

Cost Savings

Save on costs with a single integration instead of managing multiple tools to verify your customers.


How It Works

User in a Relying Party app wants to access a service

User’s mobile number is verified

User enters the last 4 digits of their SSN (or SSN and DOB) to verify their identity

User confirms the information that is retrieved using the ID Verification API

User’s information and identity are verified
