Security, Risk & Compliance

Since Banks need to identify, analyze, and respond to potential fraud in real-time, and customers are increasingly moving towards mobile-based access & transactions and they demand fast, easy access to financial services (across all channels & devices), the need for better risk management is even more intense. Also legislative environment requirements are complex, continually demanding and challenging, driving the need to keep pace with regulations.

Intracom Telecom’s proposition to this challenge is focusing on the following pillars:

Identification & Authentication

Via a digital authentication & authorization solution complying with Strong Customer Authentication mandates (PSD2 compliant), offering multi factor authentication & authorization of transactions and helping the Bank achieve low fraud rate and better customer experience. Portfolio also includes all e-trust services for digital identification (remote customer identification and verification).

Know Your Customer (KYC) & Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

Intracom Telecom offers an integrated suite of software products designed for financial services industry to meet the compliance requirements and adhere to the principles of anti-money laundering control (AML), due diligence (KYC) and actively prevent any activities aiming at the facilitation of money laundering process.

Risk

Via a real-time risk profiling technology that protects Banks against cybercriminals. A next generation 360o Threat & Fraud detection and prevention solution, based on data analytics, targeting online and mobile banking, transaction systems and sensitive applications.

Customer Identification & Authentication

Remote Identification services adapt to any security and risk level of each organization. Solution offers the following features and security levels:

  • Accurate Images matching: algorithm automatically detects when graphic features in the document’s security measures are missing or type document does not match as expected
  • Front-Back Verification: algorithm automatically rejects identification processes if the front and back are not from the same document.
  • Data extraction (OCR), Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) Integrity Verification, Age & Expiration Check: algorithm automatically rejects documents that have been expired or if the person is underage
  • Hologram Detection: detects optically variable security measures like holograms present in the ID Document
  • Environment Quality Control: algorithm detects external variables (like light conditions, camera and network quality) when process is going on
  • Liveness Detection: verifies that the person is alive during the ID process
  • Face Biometric scoring: performs an automatic biometric scoring between customer’s face & ID card photograph
  • Random Code Control (Captcha): Customizable security measure that requires the user to introduce a random code

Video Identification: Automatic, real time identification process is possible, thanks to video technology and the most advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithm. Video identification is a verification method by video in real time, which constitutes a key element for the compliance of eIDAS regulation and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulation. The process includes:

  • Text and voice guidance to the user provided in multiple languages
  • Automatic control of environment elements (network, camera quality conditions, illumination) which enables an optional record of the identification video and evidences
  • Images comparison with original documents through pattern machine technology to verify the document authenticity
  • Data extraction (OCR) of document MRZ, that captures and extracts information in real time, improving security and user experience
  • Verification that front and back of document (where applicable) are from the same document
  • Biometric registry of person and comparison in real time with identity document image
  • Registration authority application for human review by an agent who communicates with the user to onboard

The technology used is Universal: works on any device with a camera and internet connection. Detects and verifies any document in 153 countries.
