Identity Verification for high-value retail

Be certain before high-value goods leave the counter

Catch counterfeit IDs, stolen cards, and the people using them at the point of sale, before a fraudulent sale becomes an unrecoverable loss

problem

A counterfeit ID turns sales into losses you can't reverse

Most retailers complete the sale without authenticating the ID or confirming the person holding it. So when a fraudster clears, the stolen card gets charged back, the financing becomes a write-off, and every record points to a name that was never real.

Visual inspection

Depends on individual seller judgment and familiarity with hundreds of ID types.

Barcode or OCR scan

A counterfeit that reproduces the barcode still scans clean.

UV light check

75% fake IDs pass UV light checks as it confirms one security feature only. Doesn’t verify the person.

Financing or payment provider's checks

Validates the submitted data after the ID is accepted at the counter.

USE CASES

Sell high-value goods with certainty

Stop counterfeits and fraudsters before high-value merchandise or credit leaves the store, and keep a defensible record of every check.

Financing, credit & account opening

Authenticate the applicant's physical identity before a financing application, store card, or account proceeds, so credit doesn't open on a stolen or fabricated identity with no intent to repay.

Stop synthetic-ID fraud
Cleaner application evidence

High-value purchase & merchandise release

Confirm the identity before releasing high-value goods to the buyer or authorized pickup contact, on transactions that are hard to reverse.

Prevent unrecoverable losses
Stronger chargeback evidence

Regulated buying & cash reporting

Authenticate the seller's ID when buying gold, jewelry, or watches from the public, and capture verified identity for cash sales that must be reported.

Defensible seller records
Cleaner cash-reporting evidence

Returns, exchanges & service release

Verify the person before releasing repaired, exchanged, or returned high-value goods across the counter.

Release to the rightful holder
Standardize counter decisions

Run one identity process across every store, boutique, service desk, and pickup point instead of relying on local judgment.

Greater operational control
Cross-location visibility
