KYC Connectors

KYC (Know Your Customer) connectors let you integrate third-party identity verification providers directly into Descope flows. They enable you to verify government-issued IDs, perform face matching, and validate user data before granting access.

How KYC Connectors Work

When you add a KYC connector step to a flow, the flow:

  1. Collects the required user data (such as document images, photos, or personal information)
  2. Sends the data to the configured verification provider
  3. Receives verification results, status codes, scores, or user attributes
  4. Makes those results available for conditional logic inside the flow

Common patterns include:

  • Blocking or flagging users whose verification fails
  • Requiring additional authentication when verification is pending or inconclusive
  • Storing document metadata on the user for audit purposes

Available KYC Connectors

Descope supports various KYC platforms. Each connector is configured through the Connectors page in the Descope Console.
