This not only enhances user trust but also sets your product apart as a secure and reliable option in the market.
• Improved data protection: Biometric data is unique to each individual, making it a more secure form of authentication compared to passwords that can be easily compromised. By integrating biometric technology into product features like access control or data encryption, you can reassure customers that their sensitive information is well-protected, thereby differentiating your product as a safe choice for data privacy.
• Enhanced user experience: Biometric authentication offers a seamless and convenient user experience by eliminating the need for remembering complex passwords or carrying physical keys. This level of convenience can significantly enhance the overall user experience, making your product more appealing to consumers who value simplicity and efficiency.
• Personalized features and customization: Biometric data can be used to personalize user settings, preferences, and profiles, creating a tailored experience for each individual. By offering personalized features based on biometric data, you can showcase the uniqueness of your product and provide users with a customized experience that aligns with their needs and preferences.
• Streamlined processes and increased efficiency: Biometric technology can streamline processes such as authentication, payment verification, or access control, leading to increased efficiency and productivity. By reducing manual interventions and automating tasks through biometric recognition, your product can stand out for its innovation and efficiency in delivering a seamless user experience.

Incorporating biometrics into your product not only enhances its functionality, but also opens up opportunities for differentiation in terms of security, user experience, personalization, and efficiency. By leveraging the power of biometric technology in these key areas, you can create a unique selling proposition that sets your product apart in a competitive market landscape.

Enhance Identity Verification with Biometric Technology by Veriff

If your business is still using legacy authentication, your security measures are probably less sophisticated than the methods being used by fraudsters to try to access your clients’ accounts. As a business, you should assume bad actors know the limits of your approach to security and work with that as your baseline. 

At Veriff, we are at the forefront of this biometric revolution. Embrace the future with cutting-edge biometric technology - redefine your product's security standards while enhancing user experience.

An effective fraud prevention strategy should layer multiple solutions and be built around a constantly evolving approach. For example, biometric authentication means it doesn't matter if a fraudster can intercept a one-time password provided to a customer – they can’t access the person’s face and present it live on camera as part of a verification session. 

Other features, such as liveness detection and real-time user feedback, can promote increased safety without slowing down the process and causing friction in the user experience. Meanwhile, the application of machine learning to the reams of data collected in authentication sessions can constantly fine-tune your approach. Together these solutions can minimize the ROI for fraudsters and drive them to seek easier prey – potentially your competitors who are still using legacy authentication!

Let's delve deeper into Veriff Biometric Authentication product offering

At Veriff, we understand that organizations need to securely authenticate users without disrupting the users’ experience. This applies across the entire user journey, particularly at critical steps such as account access, undertaking a high-risk activity, or recovering an account. Veriff’s Biometric Authentication solution examines a user’s submitted selfie with AI-powered algorithms and facial biometric analysis to instantly and securely authenticate previously verified users and make the moments that matter to your customers as seamless and stress-free as possible. 

Veriff Biometric Authentication is a fully automated solution that uses AI and biometric analysis to authenticate users. The solution analyzes the user’s facial biometrics from a selfie and matches it to a previously verified biometric template to check if it is the same person. 

Biometric facial authentication mitigates the risk of fraudsters taking over accounts, committing suspicious activities through continuous authentication, and securing high-risk activities such as transferring a high-value amount or adding a new payee. The user simply takes a selfie, making it more convenient and secure than knowledge-based authentication methods such as passwords, PINs, or shared secrets.

How Biometric Authentication works

Veriff’s biometric authentication confirms that a returning user is who they claim to be.  Users can authenticate on any device and platform of their choice, as Veriff supports iOS, Android, mobile web, and web SDK or API.

Once the user’s selfie has been enrolled, either from an identity verification session or by taking a biometric enrolment selfie, the user can simply use their face to authenticate themselves.

User selfie

The user simply takes a quick selfie, replacing cumbersome, outdated, and less secure authentication methods such as passwords, shared secrets, or one-time passcodes selfie

Biometric analysis

Conducts real-time analysis of the user's selfie, including image quality and fraud checks, liveness detection, and face matching so that you can approve genuine users with confidence.
