FaceBlock Import enables customers to bulk upload images of the faces of individuals that they wish to exclude from their services. This could be for a range of reasons including blocking previously identified fraudsters, users who break community guidelines, gambling self-exclusion lists, or extending physical bans into the online world. The facial biometric data is extracted from these images and added to a block list. Future sessions are compared against this blocklist and can be flagged or declined if there is a match.
Why is it useful?
FaceBlock Import stops access to repeated fraudsters, individuals who break community guidelines, extend physical bans to the online world, enforces gambling self-exclusion risks, and more.
How to share the face images?
After an agreement with the customer, Veriff grants SFTP access to a dedicated directory in AWS S3 bucket to upload images containing faces of known fraudsters using the public SSH key provided by the customer.
Once images are uploaded the customer informs Veriff
Uploaded faces are added to that customer-specific blocklist by Veriff
Post this, every new incoming session will be cross-referenced against the database containing the images.
If the face of the verifier matches any face in the list for any incoming session, the session will be declined.
A risk label (Session Face Matches Client Blocklist) will be generated to allow customers to identify cases where a session was declined to face matching with the user.
