2x2 Verification

Fits right into your required flow

User pre-screening

Verify user data before KYC to detect fraud at early stages and reduce operational costs

User post-screening

Ensure the authenticity of user data at later KYC stages to minimize fraud

  • Which use cases are applicable to Global Database Verification?

    Global Database Verification can be used as a standalone personal data verification solution or in combination with other verification products. Some use cases include user pre-verification, where data is pre-screened before the full onboarding process, and user post-verification, which double-checks information submitted during the onboarding process.

  • What verification methods does Global Database Verification apply?

    Global Database Verification leverages two main data verification methods: 1x1 Verification and 2x2 Verification. 1x1 Verification involves cross-matching a single dataset with a single source of data within the user's country. 2x2 Verification goes a step further by cross-matching two datasets with two separate sources of data, offering enhanced security and validation. These methods allow businesses to tailor their verification approach based on industry, use case, and their desired security level.
