Know Your Customer

Once the codes have been successfully inserted into the system and the email and phone number confirmed, the user can move to the next step where they give information about their identity. The data is collected in multiple ways allowing the user to choose the method. The data is collected from a document or Open Banking to ensure that the user is part of the right audience with a valid citizenship. The data collected is mandatory due to regulatory laws for contracting a loan or any financial product.

The screen displays the following list of options between which the user must choose:

  • Scan ID (it is the recommended option by the system. It can scan an personal identification card, driver's license and passport. See Computer Vision & Face recognition & Liveness for details.)
  • Use Open Banking (allow the system to pull data from another bank where the potential customer has an account opened.)
  • Use NFC (it allows the potential customer to use Near Field Communication by approaching their ID card to the phone).

From the list, the user must select one of the three options offered by FintechOS Portal.
