How identity verification works in Austria.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Austrian identity fraud: synthetic-identity attacks on Vienna's neobank and crypto-exchange cluster, sophisticated forgery of the Aufenthaltstitel residence card on the cross-border CEE corridor, and deepfake injection attacks against FMA-supervised video-ident flows. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- FM-GwG (Finanzmarkt-Geldwäschegesetz)
- FMA Anti-Money Laundering Circular
- AMLD6
- MiCA
- DORA
- GDPR / DSG
- eIDAS 2.0
