Trust, But Netverify
The folks at Jumio might not be connoisseurs of artistic photography, but they claim their latest release of Netverify recognizes a good face shot when it sees one. The image capture technology “allows users to position their ID any which way within their camera view,” for better image matching and more accurate facial recognition for fraud prevention.
According to Jumio, it can even distinguish the difference between a live person and a photograph with Face Match technology that detects facial movements to ensure the owner of the ID is present.
The Netverify update includes:
- front-side optical character recognition
- improved extraction of 2D Barcode Scanning for U.S. driver’s licenses
- better blurriness detection
- an enhanced user interface
Daniel Mattes, CEO of Palo Alto, Calif. based Jumio, said the goal is to create a transaction environment that minimizes the likelihood of identity fraud and to improve the consumer experience while doing so.
Netverify is available for iOS and Android mobile apps, websites and the mobile web. You can view a demonstration here.
