Selfie-to-Selfie Match
Run selfie-to-selfie match in seconds with an FCA-aligned workflow built specifically for the UK market.
Overview
Selfie-to-Selfie Match is part of our UK KYC Verifier suite, engineered for businesses that need to onboard, screen and monitor customers without compromising on speed or compliance. The service is delivered through an API-first platform with hosted pages, mobile SDKs and webhooks, so it slots into any UK onboarding journey.
Confirm two selfies belong to the same person across sessions. The check is benchmarked against authoritative UK reference data and backed by a 99.5% precision rate and a £25,000 misverification guarantee. Every result is returned with a confidence score, the underlying evidence, and a signed audit log that satisfies FCA, HMRC and UKGC reviews.
What makes Selfie-to-Selfie Match different from a generic vendor check is its UK focus. We are not a US tool with a UK plug-in — our document templates, address sources, sanctions feeds and human reviewers are all UK-native. That focus produces materially higher accept rates for legitimate UK applicants while still rejecting the synthetic, tampered and stolen identities that drive fraud losses in the UK market.
