2. Document Collection and Verification

2.1. Document Upload

Customers upload required identification documents (e.g., passports, utility bills) via a secure portal.

2.2. Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Implement OCR technology (e.g., ABBYY FlexiCapture, Google Cloud Vision) to extract data from uploaded documents automatically.

2.3. AI-Powered Document Verification

Use AI solutions (e.g., Onfido, Jumio) to verify the authenticity of documents and cross-check against databases for potential fraud indicators.

3. KYC Data Analysis

3.1. Risk Assessment

Leverage AI algorithms to analyze customer data and assess risk levels based on predefined criteria.
