Video Liveness Check

Overview

A video liveness check verifies that a customer is physically present during an onboarding session and not using spoofed inputs like photos, masks, or deepfakes.
It is performed in real time during Video KYC or selfie verification. Techniques include motion prompts (blink, smile, head turns), depth sensing, and AI-based detection of synthetic media.
Regulators require strong liveness checks in remote onboarding to prevent fraud. Banks, fintechs, and verification providers rely on video liveness to reduce impersonation and synthetic identity risks while enabling compliance with AML/KYC rules.
