LONG BEACH, NY and LIMA, PERÚ, July 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ipsidy Inc. (www.ipsidy.com) [OTCQB: IDTY], a leading provider of secure, mobile biometric identity solutions, including Identity as a Service (IDaaS), and IECISA, (www.iecisa.com) a technology consultant specialized in delivering digital solutions and value-added services to digitally transform companies and public entities through technological innovation, have signed a strategic partnership agreement to offer innovative identity solutions, enhanced with verification by RENIEC, the Peruvian National ID Registry.
Across the Peruvian region—where almost 60% of the population have access to the internet—digital transformation efforts are expanding rapidly across the financial services, ecommerce, telecom, healthcare and public sector markets. With an increase in remote interactions, however, the risk of cybercrime and identity fraud has grown, and thus accelerated the need for secure digital tools to help enterprises seamlessly verify identity across the customer engagement.
To meet that demand, IECISA Perú will add Ipsidy’s RENIEC-connected IDaaS platform and innovative mobile facial biometric solutions to its product suite. Proof by Ipsidy offers a seamless identification experience for remote customer and employee onboarding with quick mobile identity document capture, liveness confirmation and facial biometric matching of a selfie to the credential photo. Proof confirms the rightful owner of a credential is present by validating the biometric identity against RENIEC’s own national records. For “know your customer” (KYC) processes, new customer account openings as well as employee on-boarding, Proof provides an efficient, secure and trusted solution for financial institutions, telco’s, money transmitters, medical providers and other businesses and government agencies to replace existing manual and in-person identification processes.
To combat identity fraud during valued digital transactions and to know with biometric certainty that it’s really your customer requesting an account change, transferring funds or chatting online with customer support, Verified by Ipsidy provides a strong, mobile multi-factor authentication solution, rooted to the trusted identity sources obtained during the Proof process. With Ipsidy’s solutions, IECISA’s clients and their users can enjoy a seamless identity service that offers the highest level of identity assurance and establishes mutual trust between all parties.
“We are delighted to partner with IECISA Perú to offer our solutions in Peru and the region,” said Philip Kumnick CEO of Ipsidy Inc. “IECISA Perú is well known for their strength and market leadership in verticals requiring real-time identity authentication, and we believe that our combined solutions can reduce the risk of identity fraud and provide significant value to their client portfolio.”
“With the addition of Ipsidy’s identity platform services to our suite of technology solutions, IECISA Perú is excited to be an early leader in the Peruvian and regional markets,” said Carlos Garcia of IECISA Perú. “We look forward to bringing these much-needed solutions to our clients and meeting the demand for services needed to build trust in an online digital world.”
