By GlobalDataIDnow CEO Rupert Spiegelberg said: “Companies need an easy, trusted and compliant way of finding out who their customers really are and we believe our platform can offer just that.
“In addition, with full automation and compliance, organisations can rely on one platform for international requests, helping to bridge the gap in the market.
“As an end user, this means no more posting of copies of passport/proof of address, no more having to be present yourself at a physical branch and, for corporate customers, lower costs and higher success in customer acquisition.”
The IDnow platform can be integrated with the company’s service application to enable their clients complete the verification process from the smartphone.
It supports two types of ID verification processes. The first process is fully automated ID verification process which involves facial recognition, optical character recognition and hologram requirements.
The second is video-based agent-assisted ID verification that can be utilised by the company to fulfil regulatory requirements as well as onboard those customers unable to complete automated process.
