DENVER, July 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- authID Inc. [Nasdaq: AUID], a leading provider of innovative biometric identity verification and authentication solutions, and FinClusive Capital, Inc. (FinClusive), a global provider of comprehensive financial crimes compliance (FCC) and digital identity tools, today announced a new partnership. Under this agreement, authID's biometric services will be integrated into FinClusive's Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform to help combat the rapidly escalating threat of financial crimes, identity fraud, malicious, AI-driven deepfakes and other illicit finance, fraud, and related vulnerabilities.
The FinClusive platform enables secure and compliant access to essential financial services by both traditional and alternative financial services organizations worldwide. To service its customers with an international client base, FinClusive needed a best-in-class, global identity provider of enhanced identity verification for onboarding and ongoing monitoring. authID’s automated identity document authentication covering over 13,000 U.S. and international government-issued ID documents made it the ideal solution for streamlining and securing digital onboarding and ongoing authentication across FinClusive’s customer portfolio, while delivering the essential privacy controls expected within digital channels.
“Our partnership with FinClusive further validates authID’s superior solutions for defeating deepfake attacks and fraud for the global financial services market,” said Rhon Daguro, CEO of authID. “authID’s platform ensures FinClusive ‘Knows Who’s Behind the Device™’ with speed, accuracy, and precision during account onboarding and throughout the user journey. Combining FinClusive’s revolutionary CaaS platform with authID’s global identity services creates a compelling advantage in preventing financial crimes and fraud, while delivering the fastest, frictionless, and most accurate user identity experience available.”
The increasing frequency of adversarial generative AI and other financial crimes underscores the critical need for FinClusive to assist its customers in verifying a user’s identity early during the onboarding process and on an ongoing basis. The integration of authID’s patented identity platform streamlines user onboarding with a seamless yet precise identity experience that helps enterprises detect deepfakes and stop fraud at the onset, while reducing abandonment rates and boosting revenue. Combined with FinClusive’s globally orchestrated anti-money laundering (AML), Know Your Customer/Know Your Business (KYC/KYB), client and transaction monitoring toolkit, the integrated application offers dynamic risk scoring and monitoring. This enhances the client journey while strengthening the controls needed to monitor and manage clients—regardless of location and across various financial service providers.
“authID’s global identity capabilities bolster FinClusive’s CaaS platform with best-in-class identity assurance, quick and highly accurate verification of international clients, and advanced deepfake detection. This integration provides the convenience and seamless experiences today’s digital-savvy consumers expect,” said Amit Sharma, CEO of FinClusive. “We are thrilled to collaborate with authID as they support our mission of global financial inclusion, offering highly secure and accessible identity assurance that effectively prevents fraud without sacrificing convenience and essential data protection for globally connected web-enabled services.”
