BAM Checkout, a credit card and identification scanning technology for mobile retailers, provides a frictionless checkout experience by enabling users to bypass nearly all manual key entry when completing a mobile purchase.

With BAM Checkout, users looking to transact on mobile simply tap the “scan info” button embedded into the checkout page and successively hold their credit card and front or back side of their driver license up to their smartphone camera. To ensure security, no photos of credentials are taken or stored on the smartphone.

BAM Checkout offers an anti-fraud tool that crosschecks the name on the credit card with the name on the driver license and immediately flags any variances. Merchants use this information to boost their existing transaction authorization procedures. This has a marked effect on reducing fraud-related chargebacks.
