How identity verification works in Australia.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Australian identity fraud: deepfake and injection attacks on the neobank and crypto onboarding flows, state Driver Licence forgery across the 8 state / territory templates, and iGaming pressure as NSW, Victoria, and Northern Territory online wagering markets expand. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- AML/CTF Act 2006 + AML/CTF Rules
- Privacy Act 1988 + Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)
- APRA CPS 234 (Information Security)
- APRA CPS 231 (Outsourcing)
- ASIC RG 105 (AFS licensing)
- Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (ACMA + state regulators)
- FATF 40 recommendations
