2. iComply sends verification programming to the devices of the end-users rather than having them come into a store to do facial verification.
3. API–based KYC workflows have taken the human element out of the data input process, allowing users to make it to the end of the process before informing them that there is a problem.
Tweetable Quotes:
● “Things like KYC, things like compliance need to have a fresh look at how we handle user data and user privacy, and that’s really what led us down this path.” – Matthew Unger
● “What we actually do is we send the verification program into the browser of the client, so all of their data stays on their device.” – Matthew Unger
● “At the end of the day, you’re still pushing some form of data into the cloud to feedback something to verify.” – Jason Pereira
● “We can perform initial validation on the date the user’s inputting, and when the user inputs data that doesn’t seem to check out, we can immediately ask the user to correct it while they’re sitting at that form field.” – Matthew Unger
