Configure GBG IDscan

GBG is a data provider that offers IDscan, which you can use to run the check for ID verification (service collects documents).

If you want to run the check for ID verification (Maxsight collects documents), you can configure it with the GBG ID3global product. ID verification (service collects documents) is the only check that enables GBG to run a "liveness" check to validate whether the customer is a real person.

Setup requirements

To add a variant of the ID verification (service collects documents) check using GBG IDscan as a data provider, we'll need the following:

  • Your GBG IDscan username

  • Your GBG IDscan password

Test your configuration

Once the check variant is configured, follow these steps in your demo environment to test whether it's working as expected.

  1. Does the check pass when the identification document is authentic and the extracted document details obtained from GBG IDscan match the details in the entity?

    To run the test, create an individual entity named Alex Wheeler and run the check variant. If the check passes, it's working as expected.

  2. If GBG IDscan returns an error, is it displayed in the portal?

    To run the test, create an individual entity named Elizabeth Morris and run the check variant. If the check returns an error, it's working as expected.

  3. If it's not possible to connect to GBG IDscan, is an error displayed in the portal?

    To run the test, create an individual entity named Ania Nowak and run the check variant. If the check returns an error, it's working as expected.

If you have a reseller agreement through Maxsight:

  • Does the check fail when you've run out of Maxsight credit?

    To run the test, create an individual entity named Hunter Sagal and run the check variant. If the check fails, it's working as expected.
