Digital identity verification has traditionally centered on checking documents, facial images and basic personal data during onboarding, payments and regulatory reviews.

The approach is intended to improve fraud detection while reducing friction for legitimate customers, potentially setting a new benchmark for digital-finance security and compliance.
