In today’s wave of globalization and deep integration with the digital economy, cross-border financial services, international credit cooperation, and cross-national insurance businesses are growing at an unprecedented pace. Whether it is bank cross-border account opening, online credit review for consumer finance, or cross-border underwriting and claims in the insurance industry, fast, accurate, and compliant identity data collection and verification have become core steps for financial institutions to control risks, improve efficiency, and ensure business compliance.
However, ID documents vary greatly across countries and regions: national ID cards, passports, driver’s licenses, tax cards, residence permits…The formats, languages, and character sets are diverse. Manual data entry is not only inefficient and costly but also prone to errors and risks.
Three Major Pain Points of Traditional OCR in ID Document Extraction
1. Weak Performance in Niche ID Recognition, Low Accuracy
During the ID document recognition process, traditional OCR struggles with complexly formatted and low-frequency country-specific documents. Due to limited training samples, recognition accuracy drops significantly, often resulting in missing fields or incorrect extractions. For example, one client sought to expand its business into Korea but was unable to find any available tool on the market capable of accurate recognition.
2. Poor Template Generalization, Slow Adaptation to New Documents
ID documents across different countries vary greatly in format, language, and security features. Traditional OCR systems typically rely on fixed templates and small models, which lack sufficient generalization capability. Each time a new type of document is introduced, the model must be retrained from scratch. To achieve an accuracy rate above 98%, a traditional small OCR model requires thousands of training images and months of training time, resulting in long iteration cycles and low deployment efficiency.
3. Sample Scarcity, High Training Costs
In certain countries or regions, low-frequency documents, such as Mexico’s temporary resident visa, have very limited sample availability, making it difficult to support effective model training. Traditional OCR systems require building a separate training dataset for each specific document type, which increases labor and time costs. As a result, some business requirements cannot be implemented due to excessively high investment.
