SAN DIEGO, CA and LONDON, UK, Jan. 23, 2018 – Mitek (NASDAQ: MITK, www.miteksystems.com), a global leader in mobile capture and identity verification software solutions, today announced an expanded partnership with IdentityMind Global, the Trusted Digital Identity Company™. The expanded partnership builds upon IdentityMind’s use of Mobile Verify® by adding Mitek’s biometric facial comparison technology and Mitek MiSnap™ Mobile Web SDK to IdentityMind’s identity-based compliance, risk management and fraud prevention platform.
“As an industry pioneer in digital identities, we help companies provide the most holistic and trusted view of users and entities conducting business in the global digital economy,” said Garrett Gafke, CEO, IdentityMind Global. “Mitek’s Mobile Verify has proven to be an invaluable and complementary technology solution for verifying identities in the digital channel so companies can comply with know your customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations during customer onboarding and throughout their lifecycle.”
Young customers, the unbanked and international users often lack the credit history or other personally identifiable information that is often used to identify consumers online. However, they represent a large market opportunity. Using identity documents to verify these customer segments enables financial services, money service businesses and virtual currency companies to quickly and securely enroll users who have limited information or thin credit files.
“With this expanded partnership, IdentityMind can offer a means of digital identity verification that is all-inclusive,” said James B. DeBello, CEO, Mitek. “Adding our facial comparison technology to our advanced Mobile Verify ID document authentication will help IdentityMind customers create the trust necessary for conducting business in the digital channel.”
