Getting the balance right:
Risk vs Friction

The UK has been labelled the fraud capital of the world1 and it’s no surprise when an estimated 1 in 4 Britons have fallen victim to a scam2.

Consumers need to trust the businesses and processes they are interacting with, the previously aspirational ‘frictionless’ user experience isn’t entirely reflective of what consumers want3. Consumers’ priorities are shifting4, they want to see businesses taking the necessary measures to protect their identities by adopting robust, fast, and straightforward identity verification methods.

How it works

Process can be completed in under a minute.

Step 1:

A unique URL is created and sent to the user via email or SMS. If accessed on a desktop or laptop computer, the consumer can be transferred to mobile via a QR code displayed on the screen. If integrating into your own systems, this can be embedded into existing webpages.

Step 2:

The user is guided to take a picture of their identity document – the camera will automatically align and capture a document.

Step 3:

The user is prompted to take a selfie. They are guided through the capture process and the picture is taken automatically after they have confirmed they are in position.

Step 4:

All done. Collected information is sent and processed.

Results are collated and visible via the LexisNexis® IDU® interface or via your own systems if integrating the functionality.
