In a nutshell
Age verification made easy for service provider
Many service providers, especially those legally required to verify age (e.g., banks, betting sites), already use strict verification methods like passport scanning. However, many e-commerce platforms don’t enforce such controls, allowing minors to easily register and access services like online supermarkets, including purchasing age-restricted items like alcohol. A reliable third-party age verification API can help fill this gap.
Using the Know Your Customer Age Verification API offers an effective, lightweight alternative to the common method of user self-declaration (e.g., claiming they are over 18). Unlike more intrusive verifications like digital document scans or facial recognition, the API adds minimal friction to the user login/access process. This is possible because mobile network operators (MNOs) handle the hard verifications upfront when they gather users’ birthdate data linked to their mobile lines, which is later used by the age verification API.
