Differences Between Individual and Enterprise Authentication

The main difference lies in account ownership.

• An individual account belongs to an individual.
• An enterprise account belongs to an enterprise.

Individual real-name authentication is suitable for individuals.

Enterprise real-name authentication is suitable for enterprises, public institutions, social groups, and individual businesses.

The account type is crucial to your account ownership. For example, if an individual account is authenticated as an enterprise account, the individual account may face inconvenience or financial liabilities if the account owner is changed, the account is in arrears, or any account disputes occur.
