MirrorFly introduces a Java-based Android video KYC platform that combines real-time checks with secure digital onboarding, enabling banks and fintechs to verify customers remotely with enhanced fraud prevention and compliance tools.
Building a video KYC platform is increasingly about combining real-time identity checks with secure digital onboarding. MirrorFly’s guide frames the process around Java-based Android development and positions video KYC as a way for banks and other financial firms to verify customers remotely using tools such as optical character recognition, liveness detection and facial recognition. The approach is designed to support online payments, tighten fraud controls and keep sensitive records protected.
At the technical level, the guide says the system depends on WebRTC, STUN and TURN infrastructure, together with verification layers that manage the live session from invitation through to storage. In practice, an agent opens a room, sends a join link and then confirms that both camera and microphone access are active. During the session, the platform carries video and data through the API layer, monitors connection quality and uses document capture, recording and moderation tools to flag spoofing attempts. Verified consent and customer data are then retained for audit and compliance purposes.
MirrorFly also argues that financial institutions should weigh a full custom build against a self-hosted video API. It presents the API route as faster to deploy, easier to brand and more practical for teams that want control over data and infrastructure without spending months building core calling features from scratch. The guide’s sample integration for Android uses the MirrorFly SDK, with steps covering SDK installation, initialisation, user registration, connection handling and call management for making, answering, declining and ending calls.
The wider market for video KYC points in the same direction. Verilock says its process can deliver an identity decision in under 60 seconds, while Videokyc.ai focuses on banks, NBFCs and fintechs that need RBI-aligned onboarding. KYC Hub, Visive.ai and Pixl all promote live video verification, OCR, liveness checks and audit-ready records, with claims of faster onboarding and lower operational costs. MirrorFly’s guide ends with the argument that any business handling payments or transactions needs stronger identity checks, and that a white-label video KYC platform can help combine compliance, fraud prevention and customer convenience.
