The customer, in turn, captures his 'selfie' in Ipsidy's mobile application to authenticate his identity and approve business transactions. Ipsidy's platform then converts the selfie into a biometric facial template that is matched against a reference template.Since they started using Verified, Xpressa agents are verifying customers' identities in just 20 to 30 seconds, whereas it previously took 60 to 90 seconds.”Setting up the customer user profiles is a simple process allowing us to implement multiple customers onto the system in a very short time frame,” said Preyen Singh, operations manager for Xpressa. “Verified lets our agents authenticate the identity of the customer in a matter of seconds. This has helped us to reduce the amount of time spent on the call and improve our customer experience. We now get customer authorisation on any changes to their payment profile without the customer having to submit additional documentation.”In a statement, Jonathan Ellis, managing director of Ipsidy, suggested the roll-out of additional products in South Africa is coming.
