## A live face, not a photo of one.

A guided challenge, turning the head, blinking or smiling on cue, proves a real person is in front of the camera. The selfie is then compared with the photo on the document.

## What it does

- **Guided challenge**: Clear on-screen prompts with live feedback, so customers finish on the first try.
- **Selfie quality**: Blur, lighting and framing are checked before the selfie is accepted.
- **Face match**: The live selfie is compared with the document photo against a threshold you set per flow.
- **Works on ordinary phones**: Runs in the browser, with no app to install.

## FAQ

### How does the liveness check work?

The customer follows short on-screen prompts, such as turning the head, blinking or smiling. The flow checks the responses happen live, then compares the selfie with the document photo.

### Can we set the face match threshold?

Yes, per flow. A stricter threshold for account opening and a softer one for a low-limit wallet is a common setup.

### Does it work on older phones?

It runs in the browser with the front camera and gives live feedback on light and framing, so customers finish on ordinary phones.
