Fraud databases

Our automated system analyses documents and cross-references them against Yoti’s proprietary fraud intelligence database, UK police fraudulent document databases and national fraud databases.

Authentication

Yoti can store the liveness image from your identity document checks to enable re-authentication for high-value transactions or to provide returning customers with enhanced protection when accessing your service.

Enhance your identity verification with additional checks

Customers can provide their address, which we can cross-reference with CRAs. Alternatively, we can extract their address from uploaded supporting documents such as a utility bill or driving licence.

Screen extracted customer information against award-winning AML data. We connect you to thousands of global sanctions lists, watchlists, PEPs and adverse media in real time, allowing you to detect risk and respond quickly.
