Discover moreTwenty years after the launch of the first text-based risk databases, Facepoint delivers breakthrough innovation by taking advantage of enhancements in biometrics and AI. Facepoint harnesses the combination of two powerful tools: an exclusive photographic database of high-risk individuals as defined by international regulatory standards, and state-of-the-art biometrical technology. After two years of research and development, compelling pilot results from Top Tier Banks have enabled Facepoint to launch its concept of “No Name Screening”. Screenings can now be done using images, leaving behind the chronic problems of alphanumeric screening: disambiguation of common names, missing secondary identifiers, false identities, and high volumes of false positives.
Today, Facepoint offers the compliance community solutions of the future.
In the context of KYC screening processes, Facepoint maintain a worldwide image database of "people of interest", and offers a real-time risk mitigation solution thanks to cutting-edge image analysis. The breakthrough solution developed by Facepoint consists of replacing text with image, in order to disambiguate traditional text-based identification and massively reduce false positive rates."
