With age checks becoming mandatory, online dating and social discovery apps know only too well that every extra click kills the mood – and the conversion.

In this webinar, we’ll be joined by Julian Corbett, Co-Founder of k-ID and Head of the OpenAge Initiative to hear how you can turn age assurance from a painful KYC step into a near-invisible gesture that actually improves your funnels.

We’ll be covering:

Why classic age checks (ID upload, selfies, card checks) are destroying sign-ups and trust

How “one and done” age verification and reusable age signals can radically cut drop-off

Concrete UX patterns using passkeys and native device gestures to keep flows smooth

A case study showing impact on conversion rates, costs, and user satisfaction

A Q&A session will close the hour.

Join us at 3pm on 28th January for our first webinar of 2026.
