Overview

Onfido provides identity verification services that help businesses verify the identities of their users ensuring compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. It uses a combination of methods such as document verification, facial recognition, biometric analysis, watchlist screening, and fraud detection to confirm a user’s identity.

By integrating Onfido with WSO2 Identity Server, you can automate the identity verification process during user onboarding or authentication, enhancing security and compliance.

Onfido business use case

How it works,

  • When a user logs into your application, your application logic can do one of the following:

    • Deny login until the user completes identity verification.
    • Allow login but restrict access to certain features until the user completes verification.

  • Redirect the user to the identity verification process, handled through WSO2 Identity Server and Onfido.

  • Prompt the user to provide necessary identity documents and biometric data. This can include uploading a government-issued ID, taking a selfie, or providing additional information as required by your organization's verification policies.

  • Onfido checks whether the details in the user's profile match the submitted documents and biometric data. It also performs fraud detection checks to ensure the authenticity of the documents.

  • Your application receives the verification results and based on the results, it can either grant full access, restrict access, or deny access to the user.
