Use Cases
Digital Account Opening
Financial institutions enable customers to open accounts remotely by capturing identity documents through mobile apps. Users photograph their driver's license or passport, and BlinkID extracts name, date of birth, address, and document numbers while verifying document authenticity through security feature analysis. Biometric face matching confirms the person presenting the ID matches the document photo, with liveness detection preventing spoofing attacks. The entire verification completes in under 3 seconds, enabling immediate account provisioning while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Payment Card Registration
E-commerce platforms and digital wallets streamline card-on-file registration through BlinkCard scanning. Customers photograph their credit or debit card instead of manually entering 16-digit numbers, expiration dates, and CVV codes. The OCR engine extracts card details with high accuracy, reducing abandoned transactions caused by input errors and improving checkout conversion rates.
Hospitality Check-In
Hotels and rental car agencies accelerate guest check-in by scanning government-issued IDs at the front desk or through mobile pre-arrival flows. Staff capture driver's licenses or passports, automatically populating guest profiles with verified identity information. The system validates document authenticity and performs AML screening, ensuring compliance with travel industry regulations while reducing manual data entry.
