Poland’s Alior Bank announced partnership with Onfido, to power fast and user-convenient digital onboarding and Know Your Customer (KYC) process by integrating its AI-powered facial biometrics technology for digital identity verification.
Applicants who want to open a personal account remotely can use the Alior Mobile application for identity proofing. All they have to do is take a photo of their government ID and a video selfie that will be verified for legitimacy and matched to the user’s face with biometric facial recognition.
Soon, users of the Alior Mobile app will also be able to purchase public transport tickets or cinema tickets, as well as access a concierge service to handle their personal errands through a number of external partnerships.
“Customers’ convenience as well as security and accessibility of new solutions are our highest priorities. Through the digitalisation of our day-to-day interactions with our accounts holders, we can offer many more services via their smartphones and build deeper customer relationships. The capacity to open an account using only your mobile is a first step towards building a virtual ecosystem of products from various categories, not only finance,” said Iwona Duda, acting CEO at Alior Bank.
“In today’s digital age, users increasingly appreciate a simple digital experience so they can prove their real identity while knowing it is secure and upholds privacy,” said Husayn Kassai, CEO and co-founder at Onfido. “We bring trust to digital interactions worldwide, and we’re very happy to be supporting Alior Bank’s digital initiatives. We pride ourselves on delivering access to online services that both detects and prevents fraudulent attempts while enabling the business to scale and meet regulations.”
