Thales is partnering with Goaco to provide biometric identity verification technology for an app designed for small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs). The Goidentity app uses Thales technology to scan 8,000 ID documents from around the world using a smartphone’s camera and NFC reader, matching them to the bearer’s face biometrics. Thales’ passive liveness detection protects against spoof attacks, and the app cross-checks verifications against KYC and AML regulations to ensure compliance. Data is not stored on the user’s device or on the platform, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR. The capabilities are provided as a cloud service, enabling real-time digital identity verification without an upfront infrastructure investment. Companies can integrate them with their web or mobile applications for Android or iOS through REST APIs and SDKs. Thales aims to make trust possible in an increasingly digital world for businesses of every size, extending the reach of their technology to meet the needs of underserved markets.
