Biometric facial recognition
Now recommended by the JMLSG to combat fraud.
The UK Joint Money Laundering Steering Group (JMLSG) published a revision to its guidance, concerning the steps firms should take to manage the risk of impersonation fraud. This guidance now recommends the use of biometric data (including facial recognition and liveness checks where appropriate), as a suggested additional verification method to prevent fraud when onboarding customers remotely. We recommend biometric verification because it's trusted, robust and minimises friction.
What is biometric facial recognition?
Biometric facial recognition is a technology that analyses and identifies individuals based on their unique facial features. By coupling biometric facial recognition with passive liveness or presentation attack detection along with ID document checks, organisations can build a comprehensive defence against fraudsters. In the industry we call this Identity proofing.
