Biometric Financial Services Solution From Bytte & Diamond Fortress Technologies Launches in Apple Stores
Birmingham, Alabama (PRWEB) November 18, 2016 -- Bytte SAS, a Diamond Fortress Technologies (DFT) partner, has successfully launched an identity solution for Banco Davivienda S.A, one of the leading players in Columbia’s rapidly-growing banking and financial sector. This innovative system allows the instant issuing of consumer credit cards using ONYX™ - the touchless fingerprint acquisition and matching software developed by U.S.-based Diamond Fortress Technologies. This system will be initially deployed in thirty-four Apple locations across Colombia, with plans for future expansion.
Davivienda Bank, in collaboration with Apple Colombia, contracted Bytte to develop a solution for the instant issuance of credit cards to customers in Apple’s iShops, MacCenters, and authorized reseller locations. An additional partner is French company Safran Morpho, one of the leading global providers of electronic security solutions. This new system runs on Microsoft’s Windows Azure, and this venture falls under the banner of the Bytte Biometric Platform offered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
The application performs the following functions:
1. Customer Credit Analysis
2. Biometric Authentication Against Bank Database
3. Customer Registration or Data Update
4. Credit Card Issuance
5. Payment by OTP code at POS until the physical credit card is received by the cardholder
The Bytte solution acquires the customer’s fingerprint via ONYX along with their government-issued national ID number. The fingerprint is securely transmitted to a Davivienda-controlled server. For the enrollment process of the bank´s customers, the fingerprint template is obtained from the printed fingerprint image that is on file with the government of Columbia. Applying ONYX’s patented technology, Davivienda then matches the real-time ONYX generated template against the applicant’s nationally-registered fingerprint - all securely on Davivienda’s server.
All consumer-facing elements, including ONYX image collection and processing, takes place on an Apple iPad by a store representative. The complete credit application and card issuing process takes less than fifteen minutes.
“Diamond Fortress congratulates its partner Bytte, their customer Davivienda Bank and the team at Apple Columbia for a job well done,” said Charles Hatcher, CEO of Diamond Fortress Technologies. “We look forward to a long and prosperous partnership with the companies we advised and assisted in developing this innovative solution.”
Diamond Fortress’ success in this use case demonstrates the reliability and usefulness of ONYX in the financial services marketplace. DFT looks forward to soon announcing additional ONYX integrations via its relationship with Davivienda, Bytte, and Apple. Many other financial institutions, integrators and companies across the world are currently evaluating both the Bytte Biometric Platform (with embedded ONYX) and DFT’s proprietary technologies for use in positive biometric identification.
