David Pope, Director of Marketing at HooYu Identify commented:

“HooYu Identify is the first identity platform to combine and blend different kinds of identity verification technology. Our clients include banks, money transfer businesses, prepaid card issuers, and lenders and they use HooYu Identify as an integrated identity solution to cross-reference and compare identity attributes from multiple sources.  We added C6 to the HooYu Identify platform as they have the most comprehensive database of actionable intelligence. Our clients will value the C6 adverse media insight in addition to the PEPS and Sanctions data.”  

HooYu Identify extracts and verifies data from ID documents at the same time as authenticating the ID document and conducting a biometric facial check comparing a selfie of the customer with the facial image on their ID document. HooYu Identify also cross-references and analyses data from a person’s digital footprint to confirm their real-world identity.
