    Onfido is well suited for integrations within a mobile app for automated document processing and validation e.g. driver's licenses, passports etc. Onfido is less well suited for web applications since the quality and accuracy of the checks is very dependent on the quality of the image captured which in general is less high quality from a webcam.

    Cons
    Mastercard
    • The investigation of the effectiveness of the internal control system is a fundamental part of these commitments, this segment is the most responsible for the design, or if it does not fail, even if the software provides advanced tools.
    • The commitment cannot order as it was said previously only to the software; what is delegated is the command to exercise the commitment, which usually ends the ruling.

    • Dashboard - current analytics are very high level pass, consider, fail - would like a more detailed breakdown of reasons why consider / fail aggregated in an easy to view format.
    • Speed consistency - sometimes Onfido checks are very fast, sometimes it takes a lot longer
    • OCR - we had issues with OCR data quality and had to add a step for users to verify information captured via OCR from Driver's Licenses.

    We have robust chargeback management software designed to quickly level out oddities based on a customer's first conduct to help us as a vulnerable business spot potential chargeback scams and revenue loss. It condescends to concentrate efforts on prevention instead of reaching sanctions and investigations and then falling into services to recover costs.

    Ultimately went with Onfido due to previous experience with applications & products that had worked with Onfido and from research Onfido appeared to be one of the main providers in the space providing reassurance internally on use of relatively new technology. Onfido security and compliance was also standout helping pass internal audits by cybersecurity and legal. Downside with Onfido is that the pricing model is complex and relies on accurate predictions of platform/user growth to secure the best price-per-check which is challenging in a startup environment.
