Getting started with PingOne Verify
With PingOne Verify, you can integrate identity verification directly into your mobile app.
Using the PingOne Verify mobile SDK, you can prompt your customers to provide proof of identity, streamlining customer identity verification, while preventing fraud and abuse, by capturing live facial image and voice, scanning and validating government-issued identity documents, and confirming they match, all within your app.
