FAQs
Fraud doesn't wait for a clean onboarding flow. Worth surfaces risk signals early, verifies business identity across dozens of data sources, and supports accurate decisions before exposure compounds. Below are the most frequently asked questions about how Worth approaches fraud detection, risk decisioning, and compliance.
Worth covers applicant fraud, including synthetic identity, stolen PII, behavioral anomalies, device and network signals, as well as business fraud, including entity fabrication, ownership misrepresentation, coordinated fraud networks, and bank account fraud. Both are checked in a single onboarding workflow, so there's no coverage gap between the person and the business they represent.
Yes. Worth verifies the applicant and the business behind them independently, then reconciles ownership and control across both. Beneficial owners at the 25%+ threshold are identified and subject to per-owner IDV as part of the same workflow — no separate vendor required.
Business entity verification, ownership resolution, KYB, and AML/PEP/sanctions screening cover 200+ countries and territories.
Yes. Document capture and biometric proofing are available in the Worth-hosted onboarding flow. Liveness checks include facial recognition, motion detection, and selfie-to-ID matching. ID document checks authenticate passports, driver's licenses, national IDs, and utility bills with MRZ and barcode parsing. For API-based flows, PII is validated against authoritative consumer data sources without requiring in-session capture.
For applicants, Worth validates national-ID issuing patterns, checks PII consistency against credit history, and flags identifier reuse across email, phone, and ID combinations — with death-registry screening applied. For businesses, synthetic entity signals include registry mismatches, failed tax-ID validation, missing beneficial ownership, and thin corroboration across independent sources.
Yes. Continuous monitoring runs ongoing surveillance across sanctions, watchlists, public records, and identity signals. Changes that cross configured thresholds trigger alerts in case management — no manual re-verification required.
