Every decision a bank or an insurer makes about a new customer rests on one question: is this person who they say they are? An account is opened online, a payment is approved on a call, a claim arrives as a photograph and a recorded statement. Nobody in the room has met the person on the other side.
That question has become harder to answer honestly. A face on a video call, a voice on a phone line and a photograph attached to a claim can all be produced convincingly enough that looking harder does not settle it. Identity records can also be assembled from real details belonging to different people, so an application passes every check it is given while the customer never existed.
FaceOff answers the question at the moment it matters, which is before an account is opened, before money moves and before a claim is settled. Every result comes back with the findings behind it, written for the person making the decision rather than for a specialist, and in a form that survives a compliance review, a regulator and a court.
