Early Warning Services, LLC and seven of the largest banks in the U.S. today introduce Authentify®, a new identity verification service for consumers and businesses. While on a participating business’ website or app, consumers can choose to be redirected to log into their online or mobile banking experience. The consumer can then share their bank-trusted data with that company, helping them streamline their identity verification process.
“A trusted identity is the key to safe, online transactions,” said Al Ko, CEO at Early Warning. “Authentify® gives companies and consumers the ability to leverage bank-trusted data to help provide even greater levels of identity assurance. Businesses are able to enhance their customers’ experience while helping reduce friction, abandonment rates, and operational costs.”
By offering Authentify®, companies can have greater confidence in their interactions with individuals online because the information is shared through a financial institution with the consumer’s consent, which creates benefits for all stakeholders:
