Summary

Video KYC (Know Your Customer) is a paperless live video verification process that has been implemented in several countries, including India, Estonia, and Germany. The essence of video KYC involves a user connecting with a KYC agent in a live video call, during which the agent verifies the user's identity through a live photograph and clear images of their officially valid documents. AI-driven Face-Match/Face Liveness checks are performed to further authenticate the user's identity and prevent potential fraud or identity theft. The 100ms SDK offers several use-case-specific features that can facilitate a quick user journey for building vKYC into an app, such as capturing high-resolution photos, camera controls like tap-to-focus, zoom, and flash, and ensuring compliance and security.
