Your Face Does Not Match Your eKYC Record<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Face verification compares your current live selfie with the facial image submitted during your eKYC process. Significant differences in appearance may cause verification to fail. For example, recent changes to your <strong>hairstyle<\/strong>, <strong>beard<\/strong>, or\u00a0<strong>facial expressions<\/strong> can sometimes affect the verification result.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Recommended action:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Try to look similar to the way you appeared in your original eKYC photo.<\/li>\n<li>Use a similar hairstyle and remove anything that changes the appearance of your face.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a calm, neutral expression.<\/li>\n<li>Look directly at the camera and keep your face centered.<\/li>\n<li>If possible, use similar lighting and a similar shooting angle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Poor_Lighting_or_Face_Visibility\"><\/span>2. Poor Lighting or Face Visibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Face recognition requires a clear view of your facial features. Low light, backlighting, harsh shadows, and reflections can make the camera image difficult to process.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Recommended action:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Move to a bright location with balanced lighting.<\/li>\n<li>Face a window or a soft light source rather than standing with your back to it.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid strong light directly behind you.<\/li>\n<li>Check that your face is neither too dark nor overexposed.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure all parts of your face are visible on the screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Accessories_or_Other_Obstructions\"><\/span>3. Accessories or Other Obstructions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Masks, hats, sunglasses, glasses, and hair covering the eyes or facial outline may prevent the system from identifying you accurately.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Recommended action:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remove your mask, hat, and sunglasses before starting.<\/li>\n<li>If possible, remove ordinary glasses as well.<\/li>\n<li>Move hair away from your eyes, eyebrows, and cheeks.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, and chin visible.<\/li>\n<li>Disable beauty mode, filters, and other camera effects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Camera_or_Technical_Problems\"><\/span>4. Camera or Technical Problems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A blurry camera image, poor autofocus, insufficient camera access, or an app-related issue may prevent the verification system from properly capturing your face.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Recommended action:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clean the front camera lens.<\/li>\n<li>Hold the phone still and wait for the image to become clear.<\/li>\n<li>Check that the app has permission to use the camera.<\/li>\n<li>Reopen the <a href=\"https:\/\/bingoplus.ph\/blog\/bingoplus-app\/\">BingoPlus app<\/a> or update it to the latest version.<\/li>\n<li>Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data if the connection is unstable.<\/li>\n<li>Try another compatible device if the issue continues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Your_eKYC_Is_Incomplete_or_Not_Yet_Approved\"><\/span>5.

If your eKYC is incomplete or requires additional information, complete or resubmit the required information before trying face verification again.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you have not completed your eKYC yet, you need to complete the KYC process before proceeding with face verification.
