Payments company WorldRemit has selected Onfido to deliver faster identity verification process for customers.

Under the agreement, Onfido will enable the payments firm to further automate the Know Your Customer (KYC) decision-making process to authenticate the identification of clients.

Quicker identity verification will accelerate customer onboarding process and enable them to quickly transfer funds overseas.

Onfido claims that it verification technology will ensure a better user experience even for customers with lower spec smartphones and cameras.

The optimised platform offers users with granular feedback beyond a simple pass or fail.

It will allow users to offer facial orientation or poor lighting conditions as causes for failure in verification, thereby allowing them to re-attempt the verification process.
