Merchantrade selects IDEMIA’s Identity Proofing Platform to Enhance Secure Onboarding of Mobile CustomersIDEMIA, the global leader in Augmented Identity, has been selected by Merchantrade, Malaysia’s leading Money Services Business Operator and e-money player, to enhance the onboarding of customers for two of its mobile-enabled services. Merchantrade will leverage on IDEMIA’s Identity Proofing Platform to enable quick and secure registration of mobile customers on its digital multi-currency ewallet, Merchantrade Money, and its app-based remittance service, eRemit.

IDEMIA’s Identity Proofing platform offers enterprises powerful and robust identity verification capabilities that enable them to know, trust, and verify their customers’ identities. This process is completed using real-time biometrics and ID document capture via a customer’s own smartphone. Once a user submits their data, their biometrics and ID information are then extracted, authenticated and verified using IDEMIA’s artificial intelligence algorithms.

IDEMIA is dedicated to support FinTechs around the world to differentiate their customer onboarding journeys. We are pleased to work with Merchantrade to innovate the way they identify, verify and onboard customers, which will help users open their accounts in just minutes.
