Introducing a new way to defeat fraud
Like most forward-thinking companies, you probably have a digital transformation strategy and roadmap in place. Unless it has fraud prevention at its core, your efforts to achieve full digitisation may never bear fruit.
What’s needed is a foolproof, fraudproof way to onboard customers, and instantly verify their identity before every interaction. Thanks to the power of biometrics, that’s exactly what Secure Citizen lets you do.
Secure Citizen has partnered with the SAFPS to help you address this concern. Even if your company hasn’t been targeted by fraudsters, fraud is costing you money. It creates mistrust between you and your customers, slowing everything down.
Secure Citizen for Business product offering
As a Secure Citizen Business, you can enjoy the following benefits:
Frictionless Digital Customer
Onboarding and eKYC
In a world of increasingly demanding customers and ever more sophisticated fraudsters, how can you balance authenticating a customer’s identity with providing a frictionless user experience?
Our digital identity verification solution enables you to digitally onboard and verify your customers against South Africa’s largest database.
One trusted golden
source of identity
Through our exclusive partnership with the Southern African Fraud Prevention Service (SAFPS), we’re able provide access to:
- The single largest trusted golden source of identities, the Department of Home Affairs (DHA).
- The National Population Register housing details of all residents
- Home Affairs National Identity System (HANIS) which stores related
- biometric data. A database of reported, known fraudsters and victims of identity theft and impersonation.
Customer enrolment & verification
using multimodal biometrics
Scaling the power of third-factor authentication with face, voice and fingerprint
Through OneVault, our best-in-class biometric solutions provider, Secure Citizen is able to use multiple biometric modalities to verify consumers including face, voice and fingerprints. Capturing these multiple modalities builds further confidence in the true identity of the consumer and allows us to tailor a best-fit solution for each business. Both face and voice biometrics can be used for physical and remote enrolment and verification of customers throughout the customer life cycle.
During the KYC process, the customer’s face can be validated against the DHA image, the trusted golden source. There are number of key use cases, for example, a customer can use their voice to give authorisation for a transaction, or their face to login to your platform without the need for complex passwords. Fingerprint verification is used for physical verification of a customer’s identity and can be used in scenarios such as access control and transaction authorisation. In addition, contact centre calls can now progress without delay thanks to voice biometrics verification.
Achieving operational efficiencies
and regulatory compliance
The Secure Citizen solution is flexible and can adapt to your operational requirements for maximum efficiencies.
The platform can be accessed using a set of specialised APIs which can be integrated seamlessly into your backend. Alternatively, we can provide you with a white-labelled portal to assist with automation of your compliance requirements.
In addition, our solutions can be tailored for compliance verification, validation, authentication and storage of documentation, allowing you to focus on your core business while ensuring that you are up to date with FICA 2021 standards.
