Identification
Once the package has been selected with the optional debit card, you can move to the next step where you give information about your identity. The data is collected in multiple ways allowing you to choose the method. The data is collected from a document or Open Banking or Near Field Communication to ensure that you are 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 you 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 Configuring the Computer Vision, Face recognition and 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 as instructed Please select an identification method from the ones below.
There are three business statuses for this step:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| OCR launched | After you select the OCR method, the status is set. |
| OCR passed | After the automation processor approves your application. |
| OCR failed | After the fifth attempt to scan the document is failed. |
Scanning an Identity Document
The supported ID documents are:
- national identity card
- passport
- driver's license (for United Kingdom citizens only)
Scanning a document
If the photo is successful, then you are directed to the next step. If it fails, then you have 1000 tries.
Open Banking
FintechOS is able to pull data from an external database (another commercial bank where you have an account opened). This is possible through the legal framework of the Payment Services Directive 2. It's a European Union directive designed to regulate better payments services.
There are no configurations in place for this type of gathering of data. It can be developed by banks according to their needs.
NFC
Near field communication transmits data through electromagnetic radio fields to enable two devices to communicate with each other. Approach your ID card to the phone with the NFC toggled On.
