Company Database - IDEMIA

We stand for Augmented Identity

IDEMIA is the global leader in trusted identities for an increasingly digital world, withthe ambition to empower citizens and consumers alike to interact, pay, connect, travel,and vote in ways that are now possible in a connected environment.

CORE SOLUTION

The IDEMIA Identity Platforms enable service providers to verify and onboard consumers efficiently and generate a strong digital identity - based on consumers' biometric and biographic data - that can be used to access daily services.

Our Identity Platform Suite is composed of:

- Identity Proofing Platform

- Identity Management Platform

- Identity Authentication Platform

- Mobile ID Platform

Fraud and financial crime hub - decisioning platform

The IDEMIA Identity Platforms offer a powerful identity verification engine which verifies the identity of a consumer based on different types of proofs (ID documents, biometrics). Our solutions check the authenticity and real existence of the submitted pieces of evidence, and we connect to third-party databases to verify the alphanumeric and biometric data provided (AML, PEP, PEI, Sanctions). Our platform establishes a Level Of Assurance to give the service provider a level of confidence/trust into the consumer's identity.

Transaction fraud 

Our identity solutions enable service providers to generate, store and manage their consumer's digital identities. Those consumers can then reuse this digital identity by authenticating with their biometric credentials in order to prove that they are who they claim to be to access services and be authorised to transact.

Alternatively, the digital identity can be provisioned onto the user's smartphone.

Account fraud 

IDEMIA's Identity Platforms provide multi-factor authentication to allow consumers to access their account and prevent impersonation.

IDEMIA's identity solutions provide strong factor authentication that can be used as a step-up in scenarios that require higher level of trust or when there are reasons to doubt the user (based on risk engine).

ATM fraud

By equipping their ATM with biometric fingerprint sensors and by building their own biometric consumer database, banks can enable a more secure way for consumers to authenticate at ATM, removing the risk of PIN usurpation.

Financial crime data provider and intelligence

Our platform can connect to an external financial crime data provider. These checks can be used as an additional signal within the identity verification and authentication flow.

Digital identity service provider

Identity verification 

All of IDEMIA's Identity Platforms enable to verify a consumer's identity, either at time of enrolment or later during authentication.

Authentication

The IDEMIA Identity Platforms enable service providers to authenticate their customers in a secure, private, and convenient way, using multi-factor and step-up authentication options.
