Artificial Intelligence Safeguards the Nation’s Pension Fund: Kazakhstan’s Biometric.Vision Enters Strategic Partnership with the UAPF

The Biometric.Vision system has fully automated identity verification for UAPF clients. Now, users only need a smartphone or computer to confirm their identity online—in just a couple of clicks, without visiting an office. The technology combines three core tools: Liveness Detection, which confirms that a real person, not a photo or recording, is in front of the camera; Document Recognition, which reads and validates data from an ID card; and Face2Face Detection, which matches a selfie with the document photo, eliminating the risk of substitution. This provides citizens with a convenient and secure service, while the Fund minimizes fraud risks.
