By integrating Onfido’s AI-powered ID verification service, b-sharpe customers are able to sign up, confirm their identity and finalize their registration in 10 minutes, and be granted an active account in less than 24 hours. To do this they simply take a selfie and a photo of their identity document; Onfido first checks that the government ID seems genuine, and then matches it to the user’s face. This ensures the person presenting the identity is its legitimate owner, and is physically present.

“We decided to go with Onfido as we needed a powerful ID validation solution to reinforce our mobile-first strategy and customer-centric digital service platform,” said Jean-Marc Sabet, CEO and founder of b-sharpe. “Onfido’s AI-powered service not only speeds up our customer onboarding but provides a seamless branded experience for our customers that results in increased conversion rates for our business.”
