  • 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. 

    Both methods are crucial for effective identity verification and compliance with regulatory standards.
