HooYu Identify extracts and verifies data from ID documents at the same time as authenticating the ID document and conducting a biometric facial check comparing a selfie of the customer with the facial image on their ID document. HooYu Identify also cross-references and analyses data from a person’s digital footprint to confirm their real-world identity.
