GBG Identity Score
Move the dial on digital identity with the identity confidence metric that optimises your customer onboarding.
Identity confidence calculation
GBG Identity Score is a globally consistent metric from 0 to 1000, indicating the degree of confidence in a digital identity before onboarding.
Match accuracy
GBG Identity Score measures the precise degree of accuracy or fuzziness to which identity data fields match and the relative importance of each field.
Match integrity
GBG Identity Score also assesses the pedigree of a diverse range of data sources where the identity appears, calculating the level of integrity.
Match count
Finally, GBG Identity Score counts the total number of matches discovered in these datasets to complete the calculation and deliver a score from 0 to 1000.

Risk thresholds at onboarding vary from business to business, so it’s hard to put a number on ‘good’. Scores range from 0 to 1000 and fit into five broad categories of confidence level:
751-1000 Very high confidence 501-750 High confidence 251-500 Medium confidence 1-250 Low confidence 0 No confidence
A very high or high-scoring identity would typically achieve a KYC pass in most compliance processes. A medium-scoring identity may fail the ‘2+2’ test (perhaps due to a small digital footprint) but is highly likely to be a genuine identity.
751-1000 Very high confidence
501-750 High confidence
251-500 Medium confidence
1-250 Low confidence
0 No confidence
GBG Identity Score complements your current risk-based approach to customer due diligence. By offering a precise measure of identity confidence, Score helps to optimise onboarding journeys for individuals and target downstream KYC costs, including document checks.
