Your Questions, Answered

Reach out if yours isn’t here.

How does effective identity verification for banks work?

Effective identity verification for banks connects multiple checks into one decision process. A customer submits identity evidence, such as an ID document and selfie. The system verifies the document, checks that the person is real and matches the document portrait, validates available data sources, including RFID/NFC chip data, and applies the bank’s risk rules.

What identity verification solutions for banking does Regula offer?

Regula offers identity verification solutions for digital, in-branch, assisted, and back-office banking scenarios. Banks can use Regula IDV Platform for end-to-end workflow orchestration, Document Reader SDK for ID document reading and authenticity checks, Face SDK for biometric verification and liveness detection, and Regula Document Readers for physical ID checks. Regula products are compatible with third-party tools, so banks can cover the full process with Regula or add specific components to strengthen an existing KYC architecture.

Can Regula help banks with KYC automation?

Yes. Regula helps banks automate KYC and eKYC workflows by connecting document verification, biometric verification, liveness checks, customer data validation, AML, PEP, sanctions, and adverse media screening, manual review, and audit-ready decision evidence.

Banks can configure verification paths for account opening, re-verification, account recovery, step-up checks, and higher-risk cases, while keeping the process aligned with their own risk rules and compliance policies.

Can Regula work with our existing KYC or identity verification tools?

Yes. Regula can work as a complete bank identity verification solution or as an additional verification layer inside an existing KYC stack.

Banks can use Regula to cross-check documents, biometrics, liveness, or full verification results when their current setup needs stronger assurance, broader document coverage, or a backup path for edge cases. This helps strengthen existing systems without replacing tools that already work.

How does Regula help banks reduce identity fraud?

Regula helps banks reduce identity fraud by checking identity evidence as a connected picture, not as isolated pass/fail checks. It can verify document authenticity, extract and cross-check document data, match a live face to the document portrait, check liveness, and surface inconsistencies for review. 

Regula’s identity verification technology is built on forensic document expertise, biometric verification, and an in-house lab that tests against real-world attack scenarios.

What deployment options does Regula support?

Regula supports flexible deployment options for different banking architectures, including cloud, on-premises, SDK, and API-based deployments. 

Banks can use Regula as a full IDV platform, embed specific document or biometric checks into existing systems, deploy document readers for physical ID verification, or combine several options across digital, in-branch, assisted, and back-office scenarios.
