Identity verification is a process that plays an important role in the financial industry. It prevents fraud and the occurrence of money laundering. Conducted in the traditional way, identity verification posed quite a few inconveniences due to the cumbersome and time-consuming nature of the process. Among the requirements, it was necessary to provide detailed documentation and have a lot of control over the processes carried out by the verified entity. However, the growth of the FinTech industry has meant that verification is no longer a post-terror. The growing emphasis on digitalization has contributed to the development of faster yet more secure identity verification processes.
