Important Notice: Upcoming Changes to CrossCheck Data Verification

Effective August 19, 2024, Vouched will introduce updates to our CrossCheck product. Please review the information below for more details.

The CrossCheck feature verifies users' identities across various proprietary databases, by crossing two or more of the following parameters:

• Full name
• Physical address
• Phone number
• Email address
• IP address

Starting 8/19/24 - either phone, email, or both are required to return results

The more parameters that are submitted, the more accurate the results

Submitting a CrossCheck job:

There are two main ways to submit a CrossCheck job:

1. CrossCheck as an add-on to IDV:

Using this method can be done by:

• JS plugin - adding enableCrossCheck = true to the verification object;
• Invite API - adding "enableCrossCheck" : true ; or
• Ask Vouched team to turn it on to your account for any other integration methods.

The parameters can be submitted as follow:

• Full name - extracted automatically from the ID picture.
• Physical address - extracted automatically from the ID picture.
• Phone number - submitting a phone parameter in the JS plugin or API request.
• Email address - submitting an email parameter in the JS plugin or API request.
• IP address - extracted automatically from the request.

2. Submitting a separate CrossCheck job:

By using our CrossCheck API.

The result

CrossCheck results include the following fields:

• Identity Score - the main result parameter, a number between 0 to 1 that indicates the matching score for the candidate.
• Activity Score - a number between 0 to 1 that is based on the number of times the data provided by the user has been observed in online transactions. More usage, the lesser the score. [Deprecated on 8/19/24]

                    }
                }

When the identity score is below the threshold, the field result.warnings will be true and the job marked in orange.

If neither a phone number nor an email address is submitted, the following error will be returned under each of the error fields:

{  
	type: "InvalidRequestError",  
	message: "Phone number and/or email address is required"  
}

CrossCheck then IDV

Decisioning logic involving Crosscheck and IDV is used to minimize user friction while assuring identity. Here are the steps:

1. Perform Crosscheck verification with the user's information
2. If Crosscheck confidences.identity passes the required threshold, continue with the post verification process
3. If Crosscheck fails or other criteria such as gender do not match, move the user to IDV
