With the rising usage of NFC technology in day-to-day activities, it’s high time this technology is used for IDV as well. It is expected that the number of chip-based national IDs in the world will increase up to 3.6 billion in 2021. Catering to the coming future trends Shufti launched a new product “NFC Verification” for fast and accurate customer verification in a few steps. 

How NFC Verification Work

  1. The end-user uploads the photo of the NFC-enabled ID document 
  2. The end-user taps the NFC chip of their ID document against the NFC reader on the smart device
  3. NFC Verification matches the data extracted from the NFC chip against the information on the ID document 
  4. The results are immediately delivered in real-time  

Shufti’s CTO, Shahid Hanif talks about the significance of NFC, “Due to the increase in the demand of digital IDs, the businesses are looking for a faster way for identity verification. Technology is evolving rapidly and being a global service provider it’s crucial for us to adopt the new trends in mainstream technology and provide our customers with a more reliable identity verification process. This will not only enhance the accuracy of results for our customers but will help them improve their customer experience by incorporating new technologies in user verification journey.”
