Uploading Supporting Data

Supporting data are values uploaded alongside other credential types to support fraud detection and improve identity verification. For example, uploading the end user's name, along with a phone number or email address that is typically not available in the data extracted from an ID allows lookups against lists of known fraudulent or suspected actors.

Supporting data is typically either:

  • Entered by the end user as form data prior to initiating the Jumio customer journey.
  • Retrieved from data stored previously
note

Workflows that use supporting data provide a PREPARED_DATA URL for uploading the data. See Uploading Prepared Data.

After the supporting data is uploaded, other credentials are acquired, and the workflow is executed.
