Yoti is the first in the world to meet iBeta’s highest liveness standard for presentation attack detection
Liveness checks are everywhere online. They give the same reassurance as a face-to-face age or identity check: that the person on the other side is real.

They also stop bots and bad actors from creating fake accounts, be that on dating sites where people are tricked into relationships with someone who doesn’t exist, or on ticketing sites where bots snap up all the best seats to resell at a profit. Because liveness checks sit right at the front of these

German regulator KJM cuts buffer for Yoti's Facial Age Estimation for 18+ content checks from 5 to 3 years
The German regulator, KJM, has reduced the buffer for Yoti’s Facial Age Estimation for the highest level of age assurance from 5 to 3 years.

Originally approved by KJM in November 2021 for 16+ (erotic) content, in May 2022 KJM approved the use for Yoti’s Facial Age Estimation for the highest level of assurance, covering 18+ adult content, with a buffer of 5 years. Now, KJM have reduced the buffer required by platforms from 5 to 3 years. This
