Financial Services Capabilities

International Biometric Group designs and deploys vendor-independent, technology-neutral biometric solutions for Financial Services institutions, and helps institutions build effective strategies for biometric authentication of employees and customers.

IBG Financial Services clients include MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo. Financial Services industry consortia are also active participants in IBG's Comparative Biometric Testing, assessing performance of leading technologies in real-world settings.

IBG has designed, built, and deployed advanced biometric platforms for Financial Services institutions, enabling a range of biometric technologies for background checks and transactional verification. Addressing major biometric problems such as interoperability, accuracy, and enrollment, IBG provides Financial Services institutions with long-term biometric solutions.

In addition to Financial Services applications such as physical access or internal network security, biometrics are well-positioned to offer functionality such as account access, ATM and teller window authentication, web-based applications, and large-scale "trusted third party" applications. As more customers and clients transact high-end business remotely, biometrics can effectively authenticate individuals for fraud reduction and increased security. While certificate-based infrastructures can tell you that a certain PC or organization is on the other end, and a Private Key infrastructure can tell you that a message has not been modified or read in transaction, only biometrics can tell you that a given individual authorized or initiated a transaction.
