Using Biometric Authentication for Customer Verification (KYC)
Confirming a person’s identification is essential to improving security and lowering crime in light of the current growth in identity fraud. Biometrics is seen as a new way to fight these kinds of crimes. Organizations like banks are enhancing the effectiveness and usability of KYC (Know Your Customer) processes for clients by utilizing biometric technologies. These businesses utilize KYC procedures to gather and verify consumer information to confirm service eligibility. Using facial recognition, law enforcement agencies can reliably identify individuals in crowded places. To give individuals direct access to structures, businesses use hand geometry. Nowadays, you can register bank accounts using your face and voice and buy goods and services online using your finger scan, thanks to the proliferation of smartphones and the inclusion of functional iris and finger scanners on modern electronics.
