Selfie Capture

Overview

Selfie capture involves customers taking a self-portrait photo during digital onboarding to support identity verification. The image is matched against the photo on an ID document and checked with liveness detection to ensure it belongs to a live person. Selfie capture strengthens eKYC and remote onboarding by reducing impersonation and synthetic identity risks.

Regulators endorse selfie-based verification when paired with strong liveness and document checks. Banks, fintechs, and digital service providers rely on it to streamline onboarding while meeting compliance expectations. Though user-friendly, selfie capture must be implemented carefully to prevent spoofing with photos, masks, or deepfakes.
