TLDR: The table compares four ID verification checks: Enhanced NFC ID, Original ID Check, Identity Document Verification, and Lite Screening. Enhanced NFC ID offers comprehensive features including biometric chip reading, facial scan, document verification, address verification, PEPs & sanctions screening, and risk warnings. Original ID Check includes document verification, liveness detection, facial similarity, and screening. Identity Document Verification and Lite Screening provide fewer features, mainly document verification and some screening, with no client action required.
