Extend, Enhance, Evolve: Future-Ready Kiosks with Azimut EDK
Customer onboarding should be a smooth process—for both you and your customers. But in reality, traditional Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures are often slow, manual, and frustrating. Long wait times, complex paperwork, and verification delays can drive customers away. How do you ensure fast, secure, and compliant identity verification without adding friction to the customer experience? Azimut’s Experience Development Kit (EDK) transforms KYC into a seamless, automated process. Whether through self-service kiosks, mobile apps, or digital platforms.
What is Self-Service KYC?
Self-service KYC allows businesses to automate identity verification using kiosks, mobile applications, and digital platforms. Instead of waiting for a manual review, customers can complete the verification process independently from anywhere without visitng a branch.
Key Components of Self-Service KYC:
- Document Scanning – Capture and verify identity documents such as passports, national IDs, and driver’s licenses.
- OCR Data Extraction – Extract text and key details from ID documents for automated processing and verification.
- Biometric Authentication – Use fingerprint scanning, facial recognition, or iris scanning for secure verification.
- Real-Time Database Checks – Cross-verify customer data against banking, telecom, and government databases.
- AI-Powered Fraud Prevention – Detect anomalies in submitted documents to minimise fraud risks.
