How Regula improves customer experience in identity verification

Identity verification is often one of the first interactions between a business and a new customer. Complicated document capture, repeated data entry, and lengthy verification processes can turn that interaction into a barrier.

Regula’s identity verification solutions address these challenges by automating document and biometric checks, reducing manual data entry, and helping users complete verification with fewer steps. Automatic document recognition and data extraction save users from typing information themselves, while image quality checks help them capture documents correctly. NFC verification makes it even easier by letting users simply tap their electronic passport or ID card against their smartphone to securely retrieve identity data and a high-quality portrait directly from the chip. Behind the scenes, authenticity checks, liveness detection, and facial biometrics help businesses detect fraud without adding unnecessary complexity for customers.

With the Regula IDV Platform, businesses can bring these capabilities together in a single ecosystem and adapt verification steps to different customer journeys and risk levels. This allows organizations to keep routine checks straightforward, introduce additional verification when needed, and avoid asking users to repeat steps unnecessarily. The platform also gives teams visibility into verification sessions, helping them identify where users encounter difficulties and improve the process over time.

“Customer experience and security should not be competing priorities. People want to access services quickly and without unnecessary complications, while businesses need confidence that they are dealing with the right person. Our goal is to make sophisticated identity checks work smoothly in the background and apply additional verification only when it is needed. This award recognizes that focus on making identity verification both trustworthy and easy to use,” says Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula.
