🚀 New Features

Below is a list of new features we released in October 2022.

Verification Suite

We have introduced the following features to help prevent fraud and identity theft.

  1. Name Verification
  2. Check CKYC Registration
  3. Photo Verification

Name Verification

You can now automatically compare an individual’s name in the Aadhaar and PAN databases using our Name Verification API.

The API lets you know how closely the names match by returning a match percentage. You can automate the next steps in your workflow based on the match score returned.

Check CKYC Registration

You can check if an individual is registered in the CKYC database using our API.
