Due to these limitations, online video verification services are still safe and can properly scan the facial features of a customer. These KYC solutions have proven to be beneficial for businesses in many ways, let’s discuss some of them.

Video authentication allows the customer and the agent to get in touch in real-time and remove the drop-offs of customers. In contrast to this, a traditional know-your-customer request takes several days.

Fraudsters are always finding a way to exploit or breach systems with weak security mechanisms in order to achieve their evil goals. Organizations running on traditional security procedures give fraudsters easy access to hide their source of income or money. But, with the help of KYC video identification companies can easily monitor and prevent terrorist financing and money laundering.

  • Customer’s Location Verification

The video KYC checks help companies to know the location of their customer or use via IP addresses ensuring high-level security measurements for industries.

So, organizations must choose a modern and advanced customer identity verification system that will help them prevent fraud attempts and protect them from suspicious activities.

As mentioned before, video checks integration streamlines the process of customer onboarding and attracts genuine customers to the organization. Modern techniques use the capabilities of 3D face liveness detection anti-spoofing to prevent cyberattacks. So, the application of KYC video verification is a practical approach for modern companies to have enhanced and effective fraud prevention.

With the use of KYC authentication, financial organizations can significantly reduce the number of customer complaints and provide security to their onboarding process. As a result, it will improve their customers’ experience.
