In today’s fast-paced digital era, ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of customer information is crucial for financial institutions. Quantyc.ai introduces the ICEBERG scoring feature e-KYC, a comprehensive solution designed to streamline and secure the customer onboarding process by leveraging multiple data sources and advanced AI technology. Let’s dive into the key features and benefits of this innovative system, along with the challenges that were addressed before integration and the general mechanism of how each feature works.
1. Integrated with Intelligent Document Processing Engine
Traditionally, document verification process involved data verification against manually entered data, which was time-consuming and prone to human errors, such as typos and misinterpretations. Fraud detection was also challenging due to the lack of advanced tools to recognize forged documents.
The ICEBERG scoring system is offered integrated Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) features. This integration allows for the detection of fraudulent documents and eliminates the need for manual data entry, reducing human errors.
General Mechanism:
- Data Collection: Customers submit digital documents such as IDs, utility bills, and bank statements.
- Document Analysis: IDP scans and analyzes these documents for authenticity, checking for signs of tampering or forgery.
- Data Extraction: Relevant data is automatically extracted from the documents, minimizing manual input.
- Fraud Detection: The system flags any discrepancies or potential fraud indicators.
Key Benefits:
- Fraud Detection: Automatically detects and flags fraudulent documents.
- Efficiency: Eliminates manual data entry, reducing processing time and errors.
- Accuracy: Ensures data integrity by minimizing human intervention.
2. Integration with National ID Authenticator & Self Identification
Verifying customer identities against national ID databases was cumbersome and lacked automation. There were significant risks of identity fraud due to fake or stolen IDs, which could easily bypass traditional verification methods.
The ICEBERG scoring feature e-KYC integrates with various national ID systems worldwide, allowing for seamless verification of government-issued IDs against other official documents.
General Mechanism:
- Data Collection: Customers provide their national ID (e.g., Aadhaar, SSN, Driver’s License) and a selfie.
