Dec 2020 | Fraud Prevention

There are many challenges that organisations face when it comes to identifying and onboarding customers, particularly if they’re new-to-country or international consumers.

Knowing how to maintain the right balance between fraud prevention and a smooth customer experience can be tricky, particularly when international data can be sparse and unreliable.

Having a thin-file, being new-to-country or living outside of the UK can often be a stumbling block in accessing services in the UK. Experian’s International ID Verification provides access to global data sources covering over 50 countries, increasing acceptance at the point of origination and maximising your potential customer base which helps to grow your revenue and business.

Experian’s International Identity Verification helps you to:

  • Complete an ID check – Extensive data is critical for any customer onboarding journey to mitigate any fraud or financial crime risks and ensure you truly know your customer.
