Yoti identity verification
Synectics Solutions have integrated our state-of-the-art identity verification solution to enable their customers to digitally verify their identity from anywhere in the world. The product integrates seamlessly into existing business flows so that customers can easily verify themselves on a website, app or in terminals.
End customers simply take a photo of their official ID document and perform a liveness test to prove they’re a real person, and Yoti does the rest. Using a combination of expert AI and our team of super recognisers, Yoti checks their ID is authentic and matches it to their biometric template created during the liveness test.

- Verify the identity of customers from over 175 nationalities to a high level of assurance through government-approved photographic ID documents.
