Duplicate Account Detection

In the ID verification domain, one of the most critical challenges is preventing the creation of multiple accounts by the same individual. The Duplicate Applicant Check is specifically designed to address this issue, providing a robust solution to detect and flag attempts at multi-account creation.

How It Works

Our Duplicate Applicant Check utilizes state-of-the-art face search technology to compare the selfie image of a new applicant against all indexed faces in our database. This ensures comprehensive detection of any attempts to onboard multiple times using the same face.

Importantly, we identify a journey as a duplicate only if there is at least one matched journey associated with a different user ID (reference no.). This distinction ensures accurate detection while reducing false positives caused by legitimate repeat interactions.

Key Benefit: Blocking Multiple Account Creation

The advantage of the Duplicate Applicant Check is its ability to:

Detect Fraudulent Multi-Account Attempts
Prevent malicious users from creating multiple accounts to exploit systems, commit fraud, or bypass security measures.

Safeguard Your System’s Integrity
By enforcing a one-user-one-account policy, the feature ensures a clean and trustworthy user database.

Why It’s Important

In industries where account integrity is critical—such as financial services, and e-commerce—multiple account creation can lead to:

• Fraudulent transactions or activities.
• Abuse of promotional offers or benefits.
• Erosion of trust in your platform.
