Thanks and great question! Our patent-pending fake ID detection provides an additional layer of fraud prevention on top of the surface-level checks of visual indicators that are typical in online ID checks. This gets closer to a DMV database check without the high cost (several dollars) of checking against motor vehicle records.

Gotcha, thanks! When you say "provides an additional layer of fraud prevention", you mean you're verifying against some external service like Checkr or something?

If not, very curious how you solve for false negatives in your KYC. That itself is a meaty problem domain. I remember when Coinbase was scaling, tons of folks were complaining about being unable to access funds because they were told that they weren't providing proper identifying information, even when they were, in fact, were.
