Overview
FaceTec overview
FaceTec builds 3D face liveness detection and face matching technology used to confirm a real person is present during onboarding and authentication. It focuses purely on biometrics rather than document checks, and public reports note deployments at large consumer platforms for liveness and age assurance.

Where it is strongest
Key strengths
What FaceTec does well.
Consumer-scale deployments
Public reports note FaceTec liveness running at major consumer platforms, including large dating apps, which points to production readiness at high volume.
Dedicated 3D liveness focus
Purpose-built 3D face liveness and matching rather than a broad verification bundle, which suits teams composing a best-of-breed stack.
Easy to evaluate
Free demo apps for iOS, Android, and browser let teams test liveness quality hands-on before committing.
Privacy positioning
Public documentation emphasises processing without third-party data sharing, which helps privacy and DPIA reviews.
Who it suits
Best for
Where FaceTec fits, and what to plan for.
Honest notes on the trade-offs, each with a way to cover the gap inside a Zenoo flow.
- Consumer platforms adding liveness or age assurance checks at scale
- Teams building a best-of-breed stack that pairs biometrics with a separate document verification provider
- Privacy-conscious organisations that want liveness without third-party data sharing
- Liveness, not document verification. FaceTec confirms a live person and matches faces; it does not verify document authenticity. In a Zenoo flow it is normally paired with a document verification provider such as Regula or AuthenticID, so the combined flow covers full KYC.
- Pricing agreed per deployment. FaceTec does not publish pricing. Zenoo's single contract and per-check reporting make it straightforward to compare biometric providers on cost before scaling up.
- Limited public integration commentary. There is little independent integration feedback in public developer channels, so teams usually validate with a pilot. Zenoo's sandbox lets you trial FaceTec alongside alternatives such as iProov before committing.

About FaceTec
FAQs
FaceTec questions.
How does FaceTec work with Zenoo?
Activate FaceTec 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.
Does FaceTec verify identity documents?
No. FaceTec is focused on 3D liveness detection and face matching. For document authenticity you pair it with a document verification provider in the same Zenoo flow, which is a standard two-step configuration.
Can I test FaceTec before going live?
Yes. FaceTec publishes free demo apps for iOS, Android, and browser, and Zenoo's sandbox lets you run it against your own test cases and compare results with alternative providers before activating in production.
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.
