～The use of age verification for implementing appropriate marketing strategies tailored to customer age groups has been expanding. ～
Liquid Inc. announces that the cumulative number of KYC checks conducted through “LIQUID eKYC”, an online identity verification service, has now achieved 30 million cases.
LIQUID eKYC is an online identity verification service that completes the process either by scanning an identification document or reading an IC chip, and matching the person’s self-taken facial photograph, or by using public personal authentication methods. Its unique features include the application of biometric recognition and image processing technologies, resulting in a low drop-off rate during the process, a small proportion of unclear images, and a high level of accuracy in automatic facial recognition.
In addition to being implemented in diverse sectors such as finance, telecommunications carriers, second-hand shops, sharing economy-related services, dating apps, cryptocurrency trading services, and Web3-related services like blockchain game guild services, the milestone of 30 million cumulative identity verifications has been reached, reflecting an expansion in the use of the service. Regarding this expansion, “LIQUID eKYC” is being utilized not only for identity verification during account registration and account opening, but also for age verification intended for the implementation of appropriate marketing strategies, and for personal identification during change notifications such as address or telephone number changes at financial institutions.
・Case Study(eCommerce): Through precise age verification, we are able to implement appropriate marketing strategies tailored to the respective age groups of our customers.
While there’s a risk of fraudulent age registration in cases of self-declaration, the use of “LIQUID eKYC” for accurate age verification refines the member registration age, contributing to the realization of marketing initiatives such as campaigns tailored to the respective age groups of our customers.
