    How to confirm address evidence with Toden

    Collect a map pin and the address details your team needs. Address Intelligence corroborates available evidence and explains its strength; a customer’s typed address remains their claim.

    Identity Verification

    How to collect customer declarations with Toden

    Collect the declarations your policy needs, such as source of funds or expected activity. A questionnaire gives you recorded customer answers; it does not independently verify those answers.

    How to confirm contact details with Toden

    How to add device intelligence with Toden

    Device Intelligence adds context from the device and network used during capture. Configure the findings your team cares about and use them with other evidence rather than treating every shared device as fraud.

  • Toden editorial illustration: Stronger proof. From the chip.

    Identity Verification

    How to strengthen identity evidence with Toden

    How to confirm a live person with Toden

  • Toden editorial illustration: Know who joins your app.

    Identity Verification

    How to verify a new customer with Toden

    Verify a new customer with a published individual workflow. The customer completes the document and selfie journey; your backend receives the outcome and applies your onboarding policy.

    How to detect duplicate customers with Toden

    Toden joins NVIDIA Inception

    Matching a face to one document is a contained problem. Searching it against every identity a business has verified is not. Why our fraud work is becoming a compute problem, and why Toden has joined NVIDIA Inception.

  • The same verification screen twice on a purple gradient: the default footer reads Protected by Toden, the branded one reads Protected by acmepay.

    White-label verification: putting your own logo on every verification screen

    You can replace the “Protected by Toden” footer on every verification screen with your own logo. It costs $0.10 per production verification, and your organisation needs $750 of paid credit the first time a custom logo goes live. After that, anyone on your team can change it at any balance.
