VERIFF FRAUD PACKAGES

Prior to 28.09.2023 Fraud features were available for purchase individually. For upgrading to Fraud Protect or Fraud Intelligence package, please contact sales@veriff.com.

6. "Fraud Protect" Package

Veriff Fraud Protect is a core component of Veriff’s Identity Verification solution. By investigating key areas of fraud mitigation during an identity verification session, it mitigates impersonation, identity document fraud, bonus or velocity abuse and multi-accounting.

Each element, except for Crosslinks, of Fraud Protect can be opted-out of in order to suit Customer’s use-case, however having all elements of Fraud Protect activated ensures the most effective fraud protection.

Fraud Protect includes the following:

6.1. DocCheck: Provides key insights about the presented document in order to detect visible signs of physical or digital data/structural manipulation in the document.

6.2. FaceCheck: Provides key insights about the End User’s selfie biometrics in order to detect visible signs of physical or digital manipulation.

6.3. DeviceCheck: Collects and analyzes multiple signals of an End User’s device in order to help identify devices which may be abusing the Service.

6.4. FaceCheck Liveness: Using advanced passive liveness tests, this feature provides the most user-friendly way of validating whether the user is actually present and participating in the session.

6.5. FaceBlock: FaceBlock enables Customer or Veriff to add specific End Users to the FaceBlock dataset to block repeat fraud attempts within the Customer's instance of the Service. The FaceBlock dataset is Customer-specific and consists of facial biometrics extracted from blocklisted Session or portrait photographs imported using FaceBlock Import discretionarily by the Customer or from the Sessions added by Veriff based on the potential fraudulent activities End Users display when going through Customer's Service Session. Facial biometric data of each incoming Session is checked against the FaceBlock dataset, and if a match is found, the Session is declined with the reason code "Face match with blocklist". Data in the FaceBlock dataset is retained for 3 years. In the event the aggregate number of FaceBlock and FaceBlock Import faces exceeds the limits below, an additional charge will be incurred: 

• 50,000 faces with the Fraud Protect package; or
• 100,000 faces with the Fraud Intelligence package.

6.6. Restricted IP location: A check that can apply territory-specific restrictions based on the IP region. The restrictions are requested by the Customer and in case a match is found, the given Session shall be declined by Veriff with the reason code “Restricted IP location”.

6.7. Velocity Abuse

6.7.1. Velocity Abuse is a feature created to automatically deny multi-accounting. It is useful to deter the same End User from opening multiple accounts, requesting multiple loans or abusing sign-up bonuses etc.

6.7.2. If Velocity Abuse feature is enabled, then every End User can be approved just once. If the same End User submits recurring verification attempt after already being approved, the given Session shall be declined.

6.7.3. Veriff has three Velocity checks that can be activated altogether or independently from each other:

(a) Velocity/abuse duplicated user - person in the session has been previously approved in current integration;

(b) Velocity/abuse duplicated ID - document in the session has been previously approved in current integration;

(c) Velocity/abuse duplicated device - after 10th approved session submitted from the same device, all further attempts will be declined (done in order to prevent systematic identity abuse).

6.8. Risk Labels

6.8.1. Risk Labels are the most effective for sessions where Veriff has Network and Device information. Risk Labels provide a summary of associated threats/risk indicators detected during the IDV session. These risks could be broadly classified as:

(a) Document or Document holder related risks;

(b) Device and network related risks;

(c) Risks detected due to links within the same Customer’s traffic;

(d) Risks detected due to links with traffic of a different Customer within the same industry (when Industry CrossLinks is enabled).

6.8.2. These labels can be returned to the Customer for integration into their fraud/risk system strategies, giving them further control over the flow of End User onboarding.

6.8.3. Veriff shall communicate the information related to Risk Labels to the Customer through User Interface (UI).

6.9. CrossLinks

6.9.1. CrossLinks is a solution that identifies links between an incoming and an existing Session, with the aim of making sure that any risks or fraud indicators identified in a historical Session are also used to make an informed and thorough evaluation of the incoming Session. The Sessions are linked based on technical data, document information and face embeddings present within a particular Session. Veriff also generates a risk label to provide the Customer insights when the current Session is linked to a fraudulent Session.

6.9.2. CrossLinks functions with non-archived live data. 

6.10. Industry CrossLinks

6.10.1. Industry CrossLinks links and stops known fraudsters across Customers in the same industry. This is done based on the technical data, document information and face embeddings present within a particular Session.

6.10.2. Veriff will:

(a) Crosslink all Customer’s incoming Sessions for all the Customers that exist in the same “Industry” across all the existing crosslinking data points;

(b) Add an additional risk label that mentions “Session crosslinked across multiple Clients” to specifically identify that the crosslink was done across Customers.

6.10.3. No End User or Customer specific information is disclosed between the Customers apart from the risk label. Industry CrossLinks functions with non-archived live data.

7. "Fraud Intelligence" Package

7.1. Veriff’s Fraud Intelligence package enhances the Fraud Protect package with a series of valuable signals delivered as actionable intelligence to the Customer, which can be consumed into Customer’s own infrastructure and used as intelligence when setting strategies, or further investigating cases.

7.2. RiskScore: Fraud Intelligence enhances Customer’s ability to react quickly to threats by providing our proprietary RiskScore. RiskScore is an actionable, numerical (0-100) value representing the overall risk associated with Session. It is calculated based on multiple signals generated throughout the End User’s Session and tuned by Veriff’s data science team using advanced machine-learning models.

7.3. DeviceCheck over API: Device Check collects and analyzes multiple signals of End User’s device in order to help identify devices which may be abusing the Service.

7.4. FaceBlock Import: FaceBlock Import enables Customers to import previously collected portrait photographs of individuals into a Customer-specific FaceBlock dataset. Upon importing the photographs in the Service, Veriff will extract the facial biometrics and add those to FaceBlock dataset for use as part of FaceBlock Service. Limits apply to FaceBlock dataset as described at section 6.5. Data in the FaceBlock dataset is retained for 3 years.

7.5. Extended CrossLinks: Extended CrossLinks functions the same as CrossLinks. Extended CrossLinks lengthens the period of data Veriff crosslinks from live data to also archived data for the maximum of three years to broaden the ability to detect patterns.

7.6. Risk Labels over API: In addition to information related to Risk Labels communicated to the Customer through User Interface (UI), Veriff  shall send this data through Programming (API) Interfaces.

DECISION

9. Communicating the Verification Decision to the Customer

9.1. Veriff shall communicate the Verification Decision to the Customer through Customer dashboard and Programming (API) interfaces.

9.3. In case of resubmission, Veriff shall communicate the reason together with the reason code to the Customer and, if enabled, the End-User will receive a retry prompt in End-User flow.

9.4. If the Verification Decision is positive, Veriff shall communicate to the Customer the positive decision together with all relevant End-User data, if and to the extent applicable and available.

9.5. The Customer can thereafter add labels to Veriff's decision for their own internal purposes in the Customer dashboard. It is important to note that the Customer’s additions will not affect the Verification Decision.
