Onfido Face Authenticate enables businesses to authenticate customers’ real identities
2021-05-26 02:00

Onfido announced Onfido Face Authenticate, which adds a fast and seamless biometric face authenticator as well as new security tools, including Onfido Private Key Encryption, to its Real Identity Platform.

With Onfido's Real Identity Platform, comprising of Onfido Verify and Onfido Face Authenticate, companies can now go beyond safely onboarding new users for Know Your Customer or compliance purposes by providing a safe and frictionless way for trusted users to re-access existing accounts within seconds and unlock new revenue opportunities for digital products and services.

Onfido then recreates the 3D shape of the user's face and matches it to the biometric data provided when their real identity was established at registration, enabling repeat access at high-risk or high-value moments.

Onfido Face Authenticate ensures that trusted users are live in-person during every authentication session.

Onfido Face Authenticate leverages FaceTec's 3D FaceMap technology to achieve a class-leading False Acceptance Rate of less than 1/12.8M and is NIST/NVLAP PAD Level 1 & 2 certified.

"We are excited to start using the new Onfido Face Authenticate product to see how it will help us to continue providing all Luno customers with an account recovery experience that is simple and fast while maintaining the highest level of security," said Ian Rossiter, Senior Product Manager at Luno.
