Following steps are including in Shufti Pro’s digital KYC verification process for customer identification:
- Step 1: Customer provides their data
The first step for customers is to add their personally identifiable information(PII) for account registration. Their PII may include name, date of birth, email, social security number, passport number, driving license, and financial information including credit/debit card details.
- Step 2: Customers upload their ID documents
The next step for your customer is to upload clear scanned copies of their identity documents such as ID card, passport, debit/ credit card, or driving license. OCR technology automatically extracts the data from ID documents at this stage for further processing.
- Step 3: Verifying Customer Identity
The OCR extracted data is then matched against manually added data [along with checking originality of the uploaded documents] to verify the authenticity of customer’s personal details. And the document images are checked against the default document format for validation.
- Step4: Final results
Final verification results are delivered and complete proof of verification is uploaded in the client back office. If the verification is positive, the customer is onboarded successfully.
