Video-Ident has no automatic PEP or sanctions list check.

Video-Ident: Bekannt, aber nicht besser ↗

What happened

  • The article states that the Chaos Computer Club demonstrated in 2022 that Video-Ident procedures can be circumvented, with six providers tricked.
  • The article states that the EU AMLR sets harmonised KYC and CDD requirements for all EU member states from July 2027.

Why it matters to Signicat

  • Verimi frames automated photo ident, eID and EUDI wallet as the compliant alternatives, a positioning that overlaps Signicat's document IDV, eID Hub and Wallet Hub lines.
  • Verimi's comparison table marks Video-Ident as lacking PEP/sanctions screening, a competitor-framed claim about a rival method rather than an established market fact.
