Signicat Identity Proofing
Signicat Identity Proofing automates identity checks during digital customer onboarding.
What Signicat Identity Proofing is
Signicat Identity Proofing automates identity checks during digital customer onboarding. It is presented as supporting KYC and AML compliance through national or public eIDs, identity-document scanning with biometric checks, and customer-data verification against registries. Document checks can compare an identity photo with a selfie or video recording, while monitoring can identify later changes to an individual's identifying data. Through the Assure API, documented verification services include Signicat PictureID, ReadID, VideoID, Onfido and WebID. The Identity Proofing API combining ReadID and VideoID remains under development, with documentation directing users to Assure API meanwhile. The service is cloud SaaS with API access and web-browser support on phones, tablets and laptops. It offers audit logs, document verification, biometric liveness, business verification and AML screening. Pricing is a personalised quote; setup, subscription and transaction fees may apply. A free sandbox account and free trial are available, but no free plan.
