What the Video KYC API does

Video KYC combines the biometric and document APIs into one hosted session. The customer joins from a link, shows their ID, completes liveness and face match, and an agent can review and approve in real time or later. Every step is timestamped and the session recording is retained per your policy.

Because it is a hosted flow, you integrate a link and a webhook rather than building capture screens yourself.

Consent is part of the contract

Consent to record the session and process biometric data is captured at the start of the call and stored with the session.

Benefits of the Video KYC API

Fully remote

Onboard customers anywhere without a branch visit.

Agent optional

Self-serve for low risk, agent-assisted where regulation requires it.

Audit-ready

Recording, timestamps and outcomes preserved together.

Link plus webhook

No capture UI to build.
