New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs(DIA) has selected Daon to bolster its digital boarding mobile app.
Daon’s IdentityX Platform is now part of the DIA’s digital onboarding mobile app, RealMe Now, which enables customers to create an online verified identity.
RealMe gives customers a single verified identity credential to securely prove who they are with participating New Zealand Government services and other private sector services online. Following the partnership with Daon, the mobile app now enables a citizen to accomplish identity verification ‘from the couch’, removing the need for prospective customers to visit an outlet for identity proofing when opening a new account.
The selfie photo captured in the RealMe Now mobile app is compared against the customer’s passport photo, which is held securely by the DIA in the passport image database. If the match is successful and the customer passes the face liveness challenges, the application will be checked by staff from the DIA and then the customer is issued a RealMe verified identity.
Tom Grissen, CEO, Daon. “At Daon, we have developed and are now implementing a veritable shopping cart of face liveness with cutting-edge technology like machine learning and other mechanisms to assist our digital onboarding clients across five continents to address the evolving threat vectors.”
“Our strategy remains being committed to delivering a platform through which the identity of a user can be established, authenticated and recovered. Digital onboarding represents an important area and builds on Daon’s history of delivering proven mobile biometric authentication to millions of consumers.”
Headquartered in Virginia, US, Daon’s IdentityX is a unified platform for Digital Onboarding and Authentication. It allows users to authenticate themselves on any mobile device just by taking a selfie. It is adaptable to allow its clients, and their customers, to pick and choose the biometric they’d like to use, including but not limited to facial recognition, voice recognition, and fingerprint id.
The product is now being implemented by customers in the banking, technology, investments and gaming sectors, who require more trusted mechanisms to meet Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti Money Laundering (AML) regulations for identity verification during account opening.
“Daon’s digital onboarding platform offers active and passive liveness challenges distributed across both mobile device and server platform within a comprehensive spoof detection scheme,” added Grissen. The platform’s console enables the human review of select cases and also facilitates case audit. Daon also makes its biometric technology capabilities available to partners helping to solve digital onboarding challenges.”
