Applicant Fraud report
Start here
This is an introductory guide and overview for the Applicant Fraud report.
You'll find API documentation separately.
Introduction
Applicant Fraud is currently a BETA product
The Applicant Fraud report assesses non-document and non-biometric signals to capture sophisticated fraud, without any additional user friction. The Applicant Fraud report works alongside Onfido's other reports capturing digital, passive fraud signals of device integrity, IP and geolocation data, in addition to the current visual fraud detection.
You can run Applicant Fraud as a standalone report, but we recommend that you combined it with a Document or Facial Similarity report in the same check. It is only compatible with reports which require a media upload because data signals are collected at this point.
Note: The Applicant Fraud report is currently only available via the Onfido SDKs not via the API directly.
