In this post we reflect on the real benefit of remote identity verification, and we link to the costs of relying on manual identity verification for those who still do not trust new technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real benefit of identity verification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is much talk about the benefits of digitizing the processes of identity verification<\/a> in companies: cost reduction, time reduction, more efficient legal compliance, etc. But what about your clients? What does it bring them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real benefit of online identity verification does not have to do with the financial part of your business, but with your customers and how you make them feel. Do you make them feel safe? Do they trust you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What your customers are looking for (often unknowingly) and the real benefit of remote identity verification is trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you know, trust is key in any client-company relationship. Before “doing business” it is important to create a sense of security. Only then, it is possible that your future clients trust you. In addition, trust on the internet is more important than ever now that we are exposed to continuous data breaches, identity fraud, scams, etc. And, of course, companies are in charge of building those safe and reliable environments, and of protecting users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your business is online, you should carefully review your business model and structures to detect possible risks of fraud and scams. Failure to do this exercise can damage the security of your company and lead you to lose the trust of your customers (and, consequently, destroy your brand reputation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaknesses in user security begin during the registration process. Therefore, the easiest way to maintain a secure and reliable platform is to “know” new users through identity verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that identity verification<\/a> is the process online that guarantees that a person is who they say they are. And that it is a very important remote security barrier to combat identity fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BONUS: Why doesn’t<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> manual identity verification<\/strong> make sense?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We leveraged the thread on the importance of identity verification in building trust to highlight the superiority of digital identity verification over manual identity verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why is identity verification performed by people not secure? Basically, because this type of verification, in which an employee of a company compares the face of another person with their identity document to verify that it is the same person, depends on humans. And, unlike technology, we are slaves to our circumstances, moods, etc. Additionally, we are more likely to be confused, misled, or overlook counterfeits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, there is evidence. In 2014, the University of Louisiana demonstrated<\/a> that manual identity verification is flawed and insecure . Especially in normal conditions, in which an employee verifies the identity of more than 200 people a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, the same university<\/a> reinforced its first study, adding that the experience work in the field of facial recognition does not represent an advantage when it comes to recognizing identity theft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies that still carry out manual verifications do not decide on online verification:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
