Identity matters in today’s remote world. With data breaches and identity theft on the rise, businesses need to determine if someone is who they claim to be online. But, trying to mitigate risk using manual or inadequate customer identification checks is both costly and time consuming, resulting in inaccurate verification results or increased fraud losses. In addition, lengthy verification processes requiring offline steps cause customer friction, ultimately hurting your customer acquisition efforts – and bottom line.
A “Hub” Mentality
OneSpan Identity Verification gives you access to a wide range of identity verification services – all through a single API integration. That way, you can select the best check types for your use case and channel to maximize pass rates while minimizing risk. This enables you to balance the need to provide a great customer experience with one that mitigates exposure to identity fraud.
How Identity Document Verification Works
ID document verification plays an essential role in new account opening, onboarding, and financial agreement processes. The goal is to capture, extract, and analyze ID data in order to authenticate government-issued identity documents. This helps discern between what is real and what is fraudulent.
Using a built-in camera on your mobile device, identity documents can be authenticated in real-time and within seconds. For the consumer, the experience is quick and simple. For financial services providers, the technology speeds up account opening, lending, and financing while protecting against fraud and reducing abandonment rates.
The Benefits of Biometric Verification
Verifying an identity document alone is not enough when it comes to creating a trusted online identity profile. Biometric verification provides an additional layer of trust via a live selfie that is then compared to the image presented in the identity document. Liveness detection, such as a smile, helps to detect spoofing attacks like videos, face masks, or photos of photos.

Why OneSpan Identity Verification?
Financial institutions must follow stringent procedures to verify the customer’s identity. OneSpan Identity Verification provides a multi-layered approach that aligns with recommended standards for customer verification. The “one-to-many” integration approach results in higher pass rates and enables failover if an identity check fails or is unavailable. This, in turn, eliminates the need for manual intervention and reduces customer abandonment.
Earn Consumer Trust
Organizations that fail to earn the trust of consumers risk losing that business. Unfortunately, inadequate ID verification services are often easily exploited by fraudsters and erode consumer trust. That’s why you need multi-layered identity and risk-based authentication solutions that can tell the difference between a customer and a bad actor, from account origination to ongoing maintenance – and every transaction in between.
