Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between identity verification (IDV), KYC, and KYB?
Identity verification refers specifically to confirming an individual’s identity (e.g. document + biometric checks). KYC (Know Your Customer) is broader and includes identity verification plus risk assessment and AML checks.
KYB (Know Your Business) applies similar principles to businesses, including verifying legal entities, ownership structures, and controlling persons. Many providers claim coverage across all three but often treat them as separate modules rather than a single system. ID-Pal offers a truly unified platform for effective KYC, KYB and identity verification that can be easily customised to your requirements.
How should accuracy be evaluated when comparing KYC, KYB and IDV providers?
Accuracy should be assessed across multiple dimensions: document authenticity detection, biometric match rates, false acceptance/rejection rates, and first-time pass rates.
Compliance teams should request evidence of performance across different geographies and document types, not just headline accuracy figures. Testing against real-world edge cases (poor image quality, fraud attempts) is critical.
How important is global coverage in identity verification?
Coverage is critical for organisations onboarding users across different countries and jusridictions. This includes support for a wide range of identity documents, languages, and regional data sources. Compliance teams should evaluate not just the number of supported countries, but the depth of verification available in each (e.g. local data checks vs. basic document validation).
Given the inherent bias found across many identity verification solutions, providers should also be assessed against their ability to reliably verify users from any background. ID-Pal is proud to be setting a new standard in bias-free biometrics with up to 5x less demographic bias than the next best global solution.
How easy is it to integrate an identity verification platform?
Many providers offer APIs and SDKs, but implementation complexity varies considerably by industry and use case.
Compliance teams should assess time-to-live, availability of pre-built integrations (e.g. CRM, onboarding systems), and whether deployment requires engineering resources. Low-code or configuration-led setups can significantly reduce rollout time.
Our solution is ‘turnkey’—ready to use right out of the box, with no complex assembly or convoluted setup required. It’s designed for immediate implementation, offering a straightforward, hassle-free experience without the need for extensive and costly development projects for your business.
Our API and SDK enable a seamless connection to your current systems, allowing for a smooth implementation process without disrupting your operations. Our out-of-the-box integration is ready to use, just toggle on the features you need and design the journey you want in minutes.
Legacy vendors often give you building blocks that need to be connected together to function. With ID-Pal the perfect solution is already built.
