Every retry risks a lost customer. iProov’s light check can fail in poor lighting. Facia checks one selfie in under a second, in sun or low light.

The threat a 1:1 check misses

iProov checks one
face against one ID. The fraud is the same
face on five accounts.

iProov verifies a selfie against the identity it claims. Facia also searches every face you’ve enrolled, so a returning fraudster with a new name and new documents is flagged before you approve them.

The deployment difference

Your biometric data
deserves more than
cloud-only options.

iProov publicly lists cloud deployment options. Facia also offers on-premise deployment, giving businesses greater control over where biometric data is processed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both verify that a real person is present. iProov uses a light-based check that needs a short face scan and a lit screen. Facia checks one selfie with no prompts or flashing, and also adds 1:N face search, age estimation and on-premise deployment on the same integration.

Per its public UK G-Cloud listings, iProov offers public and private cloud deployment and no on-premise option. Facia can run as a cloud service or on your own infrastructure, so biometric data can stay in-house.

iProov’s public documentation describes 1:1 matching and does not document duplicate detection. Facia’s 1:N face search checks a new selfie against every face you have enrolled, so the same face behind a new name is flagged before you approve the account.

Facia’s liveness has been independently tested by iBeta at Level 1 and Level 2 against ISO/IEC 30107-3, with 0% APCER. Facia is also listed in the NIST FRVT reports and is GDPR, CCPA, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 compliant.

Yes. Facia estimates age from the same selfie, with an age-range confidence, so no ID document is needed. Around iProov this usually means adding a separate age estimation vendor.

iProov can suit UK public sector buyers who want to use its free evaluation, or teams that specifically need its Flashmark light-based approach and are happy with cloud-only deployment. If you want a single selfie check, duplicate detection and the option to deploy on-premise, Facia is the stronger fit.
