Doing business in a customer-not-present environment provides significant revenue opportunities but at the same time possess lot of risks. Verifying that you are dealing with a legitimate, real person substantially minimizes these risks and also gives you the opportunity to drive more revenue without worrying about fraud.
Fraudsters constantly try to find new ways to access your systems. However, a secure fraud prevention system could prove to be difficult for legit consumers too. Therefore, organizations must balance security with convenience – enabling robust identity verification processes that ensure access to good customers deter the fraudulent ones.
Identity verification in the electronic sense, also called identity “proofing” or “vetting”, is used to confirm an identity in a scenario when the individual is not available physical to present an Identity proof. In these cases, most organizations require a real-time process that validates the personal information provided by the individual.
Benefits of having an ID verification process in place:
- Drives revenue through faster transaction approvals

- The number of orders processed increases when manual review processes are eliminated
- Protects the company from the potential access and misuse of customer data by employees
