  • What is 1x1 and 2x2 Matching?

    1x1 and 2x2 matching refer to the processes of verifying a user's identity by cross-referencing their data against multiple trusted databases.

    1x1 matching compares a user's identity data to one reliable source. If a match is found, it confirms the user's identity.

    2x2 matching involves comparing the user's identity data to two separate databases.
