Name Matching Preferences

Shufti Pro allows two types of name matches in document service according to your business requirements.

• Fuzzy Match: It allows for verification of the end user name even if the name provided by the end user does not exactly match the name on the document.
• Exact Match: It allows for the verification of the end user name if and only if the provided name exactly matches the name on the document.
