iProov partners with TRUSTDOCK, bringing Genuine Presence Assurance to e-KYC

iProov, the leading provider of passwordless biometric authentication technology for Genuine Presence Assurance, today announced its partnership with Japanese e-KYC specialists, TRUSTDOCK.

TRUSTDOCK is the leading e-KYC vendor in Japan, helping to foster and enhance digital identity throughout the country, with Thailand, Malaysia and other parts of Southeast Asia very soon to follow. Its API service platform delivers ‘KYC as a service‘ to speed up customer onboarding processes for public and private organizations.

The iProov and TRUSTDOCK partnership will bring Genuine Presence Assurance to governments, financial services & banks, and other corporate enterprises across Asia-Pacific, including Thailand and Malaysia. Genuine Presence Assurance is the only identity verification solution that allows businesses and government departments to be certain that an online user is:

• The right person (and not an imposter)
• A real person (and not a presentation attack using photos or video)
• Authenticating right now (and not a sophisticated cyber attack using deepfakes or other synthetic media)

iProov technology uses a brief, passive facial biometric scan to assure the identity and genuine presence of an individual during remote onboarding and authentication. Using iProov, organizations can maximize completion rates with effortless usability, while protecting themselves and their customers against fraud.

Andrew Bud, Founder and CEO at iProov, said: “The drive towards digital transformation in Asia-Pacific must deliver inclusivity of aging populations as well as enhanced convenience, reduced fraud, and lower costs. Singapore, Japan, and other nations are focusing on uncomplicated online authentication to bring everyone from 16 to 106 into the digital economy.”

“Genuine Presence Assurance from iProov provides the simplicity, security, and privacy that are needed for effortless remote identity verification. TRUSTDOCK is a true leader in the rapidly evolving sector of eKYC across Japan and Asia-Pacific and we are pleased to be working with them to expand the benefits of Genuine Presence Assurance in the region.”

Takahiro Chiba, CEO at TRUSTDOCK, said: “TRUSTDOCK is a global KYC provider centered on Asia, forming an ecosystem of KYC / anti-money laundering (AML) compliance with various companies. With Genuine Presence Assurance, we can offer our customers the highest levels of security for online identity verification, without compromising on the user experience. Across Asia-Pacific, changing regulations mean that organizations must be ready to take advantage of new possibilities in digital services. iProov provides us with the flexibility needed to realize those opportunities and deliver all levels of assurance, including banks and government bodies.”
