WhoYou Digital Identity Onboarding Solution

Reduce risk. Prevent fraud. Verify with confidence.

Biometrics let you onboard faster, meet compliance standards and stop identity fraud before it starts. All with a smooth experience your users will trust.

Faster onboarding

Every second counts in the customer journey. WhoYou streamlines onboarding to just a few seconds: a quick face scan, fingerprint capture, or ID document check. All completed seamlessly on any device.

Higher conversion rates by reducing drop-offs

Greater efficiency with fewer manual interventions

Improved satisfaction from customers.

Stronger security

Fraudsters are sophisticated, and traditional security measures no longer suffice. WhoYou uses advanced algorithms, liveness detection, and spoof-resistant technology to ensure every verification is genuine.

Identity theft and impersonation

Synthetic identity fraud

Account takeovers

Global compliance

Navigating compliance requirements can be complex, especially across industries and geographies. WhoYou simplifies compliance by embedding regulatory standards into our technology.

KYC Compliant

AML

POPIIA

GDPR

Frictionless UX

Customers demand security, but they won’t tolerate complexity. With just a face scan or finger print capture, users can securely verify their identity — no forms, no passwords, no queues, no waiting.

Convenience across devices

Works across technologies & devices

Increasing trust through simple process

Capture biometric information

User facial or fingerprint data is securely captured using a mobile device or biometric scanner.

Military-grade data encryption

Biometric inputs are instantly converted into secure, irreversible templates using AES-256 encryption.

Data is matched with to a golden source

Captured data is verified against trusted databases like Home Affairs or previously validated records.

Approved or disapproved

A real-time decision is returned, enabling instant access or flagging the identity for further review.

Build trust by protecting privacy

Biometric data is encrypted, anonymised and never stored on the device. Our systems follow zero trust principles and comply with leading data protection standards, including POPIA and GDPR.

Data encryption

All biometric data is encrypted during transmission and storage.

Data is anonymized

Data is anonymised to remove personal identifiers.

User safety

Nothing is stored on the user’s device, protecting against theft or loss.

Zero trust principles

Verification is continuous, layered, and never assumed.

STRONGER SECURITY

Defence-in-depth, by design

Liveness, anti-spoofing and deepfakes are an arms race. In 2018 we partnered with Identy.io and integrated their capture component into WhoYou’s biometric verification stackso every face check is hardened at the point of capture, not just at the point of decision.

APCER — the only vendor to record zero accepted presentation attacks across all three DHS RIVR attack classes.

Fastest transaction times across every vendor in the DHS evaluation.

User satisfaction — the highest score among all participants.

A layered approach to liveness

Single-mechanism liveness checks aren’t enough. Together, WhoYou and Identy operate four independent layers — each closing the gaps the others leave open.

Passive liveness detection

Capture process protection

Injection prevention controls

Dedicated deepfake detection
