In crypto, a mistake at signup can't be undone.
Let the wrong person in and the funds are gone in minutes. Turn a real one away and they leave for good. Biometric.Vision covers both sides: verification in seconds, accuracy proven by NIST.
Sound familiar?
3 a.m., a withdrawal alert. The account was taken over with a stolen password, the transaction confirmed. There are no chargebacks in crypto — the money is gone for good. In the morning the user posts in the public chat that the exchange "drained" their wallet.
In an industry where reputation is the whole asset, one case like this costs more than a month of marketing. And a passport check at signup does not save you from it — you need something that confirms the owner is the one behind the screen.
What you get
Onboarding in seconds
The customer completes eKYC from their phone — document and selfie, with on-screen capture hints. They pass on the first try and don't leave for a competitor.
Fraud doesn't get through
Someone else's passport, a deepfake, a hijacked account — all filtered out automatically, with no manual review.
One person — one account
The face is checked against your entire database. Multi-accounts, sybil attacks and bonus hunting are blocked at signup.
NIST-verified accuracy — not just our word
Our face-matching algorithm ranks 37th out of 570+ worldwide in the independent NIST rating, the U.S. standards institute. In practice the system almost never mistakes one person for another — neither letting a fraudster through nor rejecting an honest customer.
A deepfake costs pennies today. Your defense has to cost more than the fraud
Generating an AI face, a synthetic identity or injecting a fake camera stream is now within anyone's reach — and it is aimed squarely at exchange onboarding. Liveness that told a live person from a photo "by eye" five years ago does not catch it.
Biometric.Vision confirms there is a live person in front of the camera — not something generated an hour ago.
Built for your model
Centralized exchange (CEX)
Strict eKYC at signup and a repeat face check before a large withdrawal.
On/off-ramp services
Fast verification at the fiat-crypto boundary, where fraud risk is higher — without losing conversion.
Wallets and custody
Owner confirmation when accessing funds and changing security settings.
Four steps
Capture the document
The customer photographs the document — the system hints how to get it right the first time.
Recognition
The data is read automatically and the document type is detected on its own.
Selfie and match
The customer takes a selfie — liveness and the face-to-document match are checked.
Verdict
You get a verdict via the API and in the dashboard: approve, reject or send to review.
Integrate in a day, not a quarter
One REST API, a Mobile SDK and a web widget — it drops into your current user flow without reworking the interface. A developer wires it up in a few hours, or delegates the integration to an AI agent (Cursor, Claude Code).
