UK banks must verify that customers meet age requirements for products such as credit cards, loans, and investments, both to comply with FCA-related rules and to limit fraud risks. Traditional approaches, including in-person or online document checks, can create onboarding delays, introduce human error, be vulnerable to forged identification, and require storage of sensitive data. Age Estimation APIs are presented as an alternative that uses AI to estimate age from a selfie or video, potentially allowing real-time, lower-friction verification without collecting a date of birth or identity documents. The text argues that these tools can support compliance, fraud prevention, privacy protection, cost reduction, and customer experience improvements. Didit promotes its Age Estimation API as a privacy-focused, GDPR-compliant option that can integrate with existing KYC and onboarding workflows, with features including modular deployment, no setup fees, and a free core KYC tier.
