MK Decision Partners with IDology to Integrate Real-Time Identity Verification Into Its Digital Account Opening and Loan Origination Platform
Partnership supports community financial institutions' fight against fraud by automating Customer Due Diligence and Customer Identification Programs.
SAN DIEGO, July 27, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MK Decision (MK) announced today that it is partnering with IDology, a GBG company, to introduce real-time identity verification into its digital account opening and loan origination platform. Together, MK and IDology streamline community financial institutions' Customer Identification Program and Customer Due Diligence processes by verifying applicant identities when applying for deposit accounts, credit cards, indirect loans, and personal loans.
MK starts the digital onboarding process by guiding applicants through an online Store branded to their institution. After consumers find the right product for their financial needs, they complete a mobile-first Checkout process. By leveraging ID Scan, applicants can scan their preferred ID type and pre-populate application data, resulting in faster completion times.
While this integration benefits consumers, it serves a dual purpose for back-office teams. IdentityConnect ensures compliance with Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering regulations. To accomplish this, Decisioning instantly checks identities against the following government watch lists: Patriot Act, Office of Foreign Assets Control, Specially Designated Nationals, and Politically Exposed Person. IDology enables MK to identify known fraudsters through multiple layers of digital identity attributes, including email and mobile intelligence.
"Through our partnership with IDology, community financial institutions can automate Know Your Customer checks and verify digital identities. By utilizing the power of data, our customers can feel confident in their ability to restrict fraudulent applicants and provide faster decisions to their clientele," said Har Rai Khalsa, CEO of MK Decision.
"The identity verification imperative is increasingly front and center for the financial services value chain," said Christina Luttrell, CEO of IDology. "This partnership provides community financial institutions with the optimal balance of effortless digital account opening and the industry's most flexible fraud deterrence tools and network to deliver stronger trust through data transparence and diversity."
