Applicants incorrectly rejected due to face matching issue
minorOct 12, 2026 · resolved Oct 12
Description: On October 12, 2026, between 08:28 and 08:45 UTC, a technical issue on our side affected face matching. During this time, applicants whose verification included a face match check were asked to resubmit their documents with the “Bad face matching” reason. The issue has been fixed, and face matching works as expected. What to do: No action is needed on the applicant’s profile. When affected applicants return to verification, they will see a message that their face is not clearly visible and will be asked to resubmit their identity document and selfie. After that, they will be verified as usual. You may want to let these applicants know they need to complete verification again. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Connectivity issues for some users in Vietnam
minorOct 2, 2026
We are continuing to work on the connectivity issues affecting some end users in Vietnam. Our team is engaging with the affected internet providers individually to determine the cause of the blocking and to restore access. There are no further updates at this time. The workaround remains the same: affected users can switch to a different network (for example, mobile data from another provider) or use a VPN to complete verification. Clients with VPN/proxy restrictions enabled may want to review flagged applicants from Vietnam during this period. We will keep you informed and post the next update as soon as there is meaningful progress.
