Organisations use biometric facial verification services to improve security, efficiency, and compliance in identity verification processes. Here's a breakdown of the key reasons:

1. Enhanced Security

Facial biometrics are unique to each person, making it hard to spoof or forge. It verifies a live person is present (often with liveness detection), reducing fraud.

2. Streamlined User Experience

Fast and contactless — no passwords or physical ID cards needed.

Ideal for remote onboarding, allowing users to verify their identity via smartphone or webcam.

3. Regulatory Compliance

Meets Digital Identity best practices and used to validate identity as part of a robust background screening and credential management program.

4. Trust & Accountability

Gives organisations confidence that the person completing a task (e.g., a background check, compliance form, or e-learning module) is the actual candidate or employee.

5. Cost and Time Savings

Reduces manual ID checks and paperwork.

Cuts onboarding times significantly, especially at scale.
