Who it suits
Best for
Where Daon fits, and what to plan for.
Honest notes on the trade-offs, each with a way to cover the gap inside a Zenoo flow.
- Banks and large enterprises adding biometric authentication across web, mobile, and call centre channels
- Organisations that want one vendor for both onboarding biometrics and returning-customer authentication
- Regulated firms comfortable with enterprise procurement and configuration
- Enterprise sales model. Pricing is custom and engagements follow an enterprise sales cycle. Activating through Zenoo keeps it to one contract and a connector that is already built, which shortens the path to a working pilot.
- Limited public developer footprint. There is little independent integration commentary in public developer channels, so hands-on validation matters. Zenoo's sandbox lets you trial Daon against alternatives such as iProov or FaceTec before committing.

About Daon
FAQs
Daon questions.
How does Daon work with Zenoo?
Activate Daon from your Zenoo account. Zenoo's AI builds and tests the connector, typically within a day, so there is no integration project on your side. You get fallback routing to alternative biometric providers, one contract covering every provider in your stack, and a unified audit trail across all of them.
Is Daon only for onboarding, or also for ongoing authentication?
Both. Daon's platform is designed for identity verification at onboarding and biometric authentication afterwards, so the same enrolment can secure logins, payments, and account changes in later journeys.
How do I evaluate Daon against other biometric providers?
Run it in a Zenoo sandbox flow alongside alternatives and compare pass rates, friction, and speed on your own user base. Because routing is configuration rather than code, switching or splitting traffic between providers takes minutes.
Hands it to your team
Verification is the first step. Compliance Hub handles the rest.
Once a customer is verified, screening and review happen in Compliance Hub. A possible PEP match lands in your team inbox with the evidence and the full history beside it. Zenoo suggests, your team decides.
