Danal and A2iA Partner on Multi-Factor Identity Verification

Danal, Inc. and A2iA have formed a partnership to close gaps in remote identity verification processes for financial institutions, healthcare agencies, e-commerce and payment companies, as well as other industry verticals that need to confirm consumers’ identities and proof of residency on smartphone apps or online on PC and the mobile web. The new ID Double Check service helps organizations meet the “know your customer” and other regulatory requirements such as “anti-money laundering” (AML) compliance programs.

Danal is a provider of mobile identity and authentication solutions and A2iA, Artificial Intelligence and Image Analysis, is a developer of handwritten and machine printed text recognition, information extraction, and intelligent document classification toolkits.

Through this collaboration,  Danal’s real-time mobile number ownership verification, offered through mobile network operator partnerships across North America and Europe, has been integrated with A2iA’s ability to capture, pre-process, and extract data from official ID cards, passports and documents from government agencies, utility companies, and other sources.

According to Venceslas Cartier, A2iA’s EMEA & India business development and marketing director, it has become a challenge for organizations to quickly verify a customer’s identity in a connected-device environment in order to facilitate and accelerate mobile transactions, and to improve remote account opening completion rates.  

With the ability to automatically locate and extract data from IDs and match the information with real-time mobile number ownership data, added Wendi Klein, A2iA’s business development & marketing director, North America, ID Double Check can help organizations more effectively address compliance regulations and provide them with greater confidence related to identity assertion.
