Additional verifications
Add identity verification checks to your platform’s connected accounts.
Collect additional identity verification from connected accounts to help reduce fraud losses, streamline risk operations, and meet additional compliance requirements. Automatically collect required information with Connect Onboarding or embed Stripe Identity as part of your custom onboarding experience. Restrict your flow of funds based on verification status and volume thresholds.
By adding a few lines of code to your Connect integration, you can:
- Request a government-issued ID document check during initial onboarding
- Match the government-issued photo ID with selfies of the document holder
- Disable payouts or payments based on verification status or volume thresholds
- Access captured images and data extracted from government-issued ID documents
- Receive detailed status updates and error messages
Common use cases for additional verifications
- Reduce fraud losses: For example, platforms can streamline risk processes by requiring a government-issued ID document verification before enabling the first payout.
- Increase trust & safety: For example, marketplaces facilitating in-person services can require government-issued photo ID verification before allowing connected accounts to collect payments or interact with other users.
- Meet additional compliance requirements: For example, platforms can conduct government-issued photo ID verification to confirm the user’s identity to help meet their own KYC requirements.
Plan for false positives. Automated verification is probabilistic—valid users might fail in edge cases. To avoid a bad experience, establish a manual review workflow for users rejected by automated checks.
