The Identity Management Challenge

The Identity Management Challenge

Businesses in regulated industries—like banking, eCommerce, gaming, and healthcare—face a tough balancing act. They must verify customer identities, comply with KYC and AML regulations, and protect against fraud—all while delivering a seamless customer experience.

Poor identity management leads to customer friction, drop-offs, and revenue loss as users switch to competitors offering better digital workflows. FTx Identity’s AI-based verification platform solves these challenges by blending security, compliance, and user experience into one powerful solution. 

AI Verification

Depending on the circumstances, artificial intelligence has many definitions, effects, and upsides. Since AI is such a diverse species of technology, different industries have varying interpretations of what it entails. Here, we examine how AI is improving ID verification and what to expect from it.

A new customer submits a passport, government-issued ID, and proof of address for verification. In the absence of AI validation tools, these documents would need to be reviewed by a human. This process is time-consuming and less accurate.

AI ID verification offers an effective solution. Document verification with AI becomes automated. Documents are uploaded via a website or app, the evaluation process takes place instantly, and the likelihood of error is small. As a result, customers no longer have to wait so long for their accounts to be approved, resulting in a lift in customer experience.

AI monitors risk in real-time. After the customer is onboarded, their behavior, risk level, and eligibility are continually evaluated. Doing this manually is a near impossibility. With AI validation, disorganized data can be used to develop risk profiles. The KYC and compliance teams no longer are burdened with these tasks; AI builds models for managing risk-based decisions.

KYC and ID verification are processes that have several steps. Each of these stages must be completed, and they must be done in the exact order prescribed. If you are not making their lives easier during these processes, there is a genuine possibility that you will lose potential customers, given that people want things done promptly and have an abundance of options and alternatives. In an ideal scenario, customers would want to rapidly complete this process, move onto the next step, and then, after a short while, be on the other side of it.

Artificial intelligence streamlines the entire verification process from beginning to end while increasing the efficiency of each phase. Users go seamlessly from one stage to the next, lowering the likelihood that they will switch to another provider. AI is integrating the process and making it flow, from OCR (optical character recognition) inspections and 3D liveness detection to acquiring personal information.

AI verification software reduces KYC and ID verification costs. While the costs involved with these processes may not be visible to the naked eye, there are many factors at play. The following is a breakdown of the key elements that make up the entire KYC cost:

  • The salary and compensation of the compliance teams responsible for monitoring the process and examining documents
  • The cost of outsourcing or building the required technologies for completing KYC and identity verification
  • The revenue lost as a result of potential customers quitting or switching providers as a result of an inadequate onboarding process
  • The regulatory penalties connected to a poor verification process
  • The damage to one’s reputation and the loss of customer trust brought on by security-related events like personal data breaches

Frequently Asked Questions

You take a photo of your ID, and our data extraction tools capture the information. We match all customer-end data to their government-issued ID, verify with a front and back view that this government ID is valid, and gather a live selfie image of the user. We then compare all the data and direct the user to the next step, which questions them in public databases and allows them to either enter an OTP (one-time password) sent to their mobile number or email address used to sign up if it is in the public database, or by selecting the correct recorded address that corresponds to them.
AI verification uses advanced technologies to provide accuracy where human error is common. This can be when checking ID documents, such as a driver’s license or passport, especially in high-traffic areas where staff may need to verify multiple IDs at once.
Yes, AI verification provides an extra layer of security in your KYC and AML processes by checking for any chances that documents can be forged, faked, or edited. In addition, biometrics check that the person being verified matches the ID documents with AI facial recognition algorithms. When the person is not physically present, AI verification can provide additional visual facial matching (virtual healthcare, remote employment, online loan applications).
