P2P Diamond Merchants can enable facial recognition for buyer verification
We’re excited to share that starting 10:00 Jul 7, 2025 (UTC), Diamond Merchants can require buyers to complete facial recognition before placing orders — adding an extra layer of identity verification and protection to your P2P trades.
What is facial recognition?
Facial recognition is a key identity verification method that helps confirm the legitimacy of your trading partner. It strengthens trust and security in the trading environment, reduces the risk of fraud, and gives you greater peace of mind.
How to enable facial recognition
You can enable the facial recognition option when creating verification sell ads. Buyers will be required to complete facial recognition before they can place an order — giving you more confidence in your counterparty’s identity.
