In the Identity Verification process, facial matching is used to compare the face from an identity document to the face of the person completing the process. This is critical to fight criminal activity where fraudsters are using an identity document that has tampered with or does not belong to them.

E-Verification

During the Identity Verification process, facial matching is used to compare the face from the identity document provided to the face of the person completing the process, taken during the liveness test step.
ID-Pal’s cutting-edge Facial Matching technology maps the biometric features across these 2 facial images in order to determine if the images match (i.e. if they are of the same person). This is done through a comprehensive 50-point biometric facial comparison where measurements are taken from both images, for example the distance between the eyes, in order to determine if the images match.

Facial Matching is Not Enough
However facial matching on its own is not sufficient for a robust identity verification process as it does not confirm the following 2 factors:

  • That the identity document from which the facial image is taken is authentic, such as a Government-issued ID, and that it has not been tampered with or forge.

or

  • That the image of the person submitting the information is a real live person (as opposed to a digital or physical photo)
    This is why the ID-Pal solution blends the Facial Matching Biometrics with Document Verification and Liveness Testing. Engaging this multi-layered approach enables ID-Pal to verify that a document is genuine and that it belongs to the person completing the transaction in real time.

How Does ID-Pal work?

Watch how it works

Our experience of working with the team in ID-Pal was 100% positive. I found every member of the team attentive to BDO’s client and team needs. ID-Pal were professional, open-minded, and available to talk to me whenever needed. Our ask was very clear, in that we required a more efficient, effective and secure KYC process, supported by a client-friendly cloud-based application. Once we decided to adopt ID-Pal, the overall “to market” timeline can be measured in weeks. ID-Pal has proven itself to be an agile, yet fully compliant partner, evidenced by BDO Ireland’s seamless adoption across all departments.
