Adding best-in-class identity fraud and account takeover prevention, while offering a secure, frictionless onboarding experience
DENVER, Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- authID [Nasdaq: AUID], a leading provider of secure, mobile, biometric authentication solutions, announced today that Kompliant, a U.S.-based, AI-driven, business onboarding and risk-scoring company, will integrate authID’s biometric authentication platform Verified™ to stop identity fraud and automate digital onboarding for its customers. Kompliant works with leading payment processors and sponsor banks, and will deploy authID’s reliable, high-speed identity authentication solution to streamline and secure online merchant application processing and transaction monitoring.
Solving for end-to-end compliance lifecycle management by automating manual underwriting and monitoring processes for financial institutions, Kompliant needed an identity authentication partner to eliminate the risks associated with fraudulent merchant onboarding. The integration with authID’s Verified solution will enable Kompliant to deliver biometric identity authentication during digital onboarding for its clients, including quick mobile identity document capture and validation, liveness confirmation and presentation attack detection, and facial biometric matching of a selfie to the credential photo.
“Given the increased occurrence of cybersecurity threats on financial institutions and payments processors over the last few years, we recognized the acute need to offer our customers a fast, convenient, and highly secure identity verification solution,” said Edward Katzin, CEO of Kompliant. “authID’s cutting-edge biometric authentication platform proved to be the ideal solution, allowing our team to focus on our core mission of managing the compliance lifecycle for our customers.”
With the simplicity of a photo ID and mobile facial biometric identity proofing, Verified enables users to authenticate their identities anywhere, at any time. New users quickly capture their identity document and a live selfie in a web browser on any mobile device or desktop, and authID matches the selfie against the picture extracted from the identity document to verify that the user is who they say they are. For Kompliant, this empowers their customers to establish digital identity trust during merchant onboarding with automated identity authentication.
"Banks, payment processors, and other financial institutions should be able to concentrate on driving revenue growth without compromising fraud prevention or regulatory compliance,” said Tom Thimot, CEO of authID. “Our Verified integration will allow Kompliant to meet its clients’ identity authentication needs with best-in-class biometric technology. We are thrilled to join forces with Kompliant to offer secure merchant onboarding with speed, accuracy, and trust while ensuring user experience goes undisrupted.”
Kompliant recently raised $14 million in a seed round from Level One Fund, with contributions from John Partridge, former Visa president and Stuart Sopp, CEO of Current, a U.S. based consumer fintech. Initially incubated by Snoop Dogg’s Casa Verde Capital, Kompliant announced that this funding would enable it to accelerate growth and scale its platform solutions.

As we close in on the final quarter of 2022, investors are looking for an answer to one question: was June’s low the bottom for stocks, or do they have more room to fall? It’s a serious question, and there may be no easy answer. Markets are facing a series of headwinds, from the high inflation and rising interest rates that we’ve grown familiar with to an increasingly strong dollar that will put pressure on the upcoming Q3 earnings. Weighing in on current conditions from Charles Schwab, the $8 t

The S&P 500 is on again, off again all year. But investors clearly have a "buy list" of stocks they want to own when the rally looks real.
A strong bearish trend defined the markets in the first half of the year; since then, the key point has been volatility. Stocks hit a bottom back in June, when the S&P 500 dropped into the 3,600s. That has proven to be a support level in the last two months, and at least one strategist believes that the market won’t be testing those lows again this year. JPMorgan's Jason Hunter believes that inflation may have peaked, and that the upcoming CPI report will provide additional evidence of that. “We

Nio (NYSE: NIO) reported increasing losses in its second-quarter earnings report this week, but investors are shrugging that off, sending shares soaring Friday morning.

AT&T income-hungry shareholders should have seen it coming. In April last year, a month before announcing the spinoff of its media division to shareholders in the form of shares of a 71% stake in the newly created Warner Bros. Discovery Chief Executive Officer John Stankey assured investors that “our deliberate capital-allocation plan allowed us to invest and sustain our dividend at current levels, which we believe is attractive.” AT&T’s eventual failure to raise the dividend in 2021 broke a 34-year streak and saw it booted out of the vaunted S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index.
