It's not "just" a passport photo, it's a photo of a passport with a name that matches the payment method.

Assuming you're being genuine here, OCR on the passport photo plus a string comparison on the card details provided. This is why the criteria for ID scans is so strict, and also why these verifications can take "up to 24 hours".
