Provide a touchless onboarding process to meet social-distancing guidelines<br />

Part of the appeal of biometric authentication technologies during a pandemic or Flu season is the<br />

touchless access they provide. Voice biometrics and face recognition enable hands-free authentication<br />

and access, eliminating the need to use on-site PIN pads, card readers or kiosks. To limit the spread of<br />

the virus, businesses need to shift more of their onboarding functions online. By focusing on implementing<br />

frictionless authentication processes through the use of biometrics, organizations can ensure that<br />

customers remain safe, physically, at the same time that they verify that customers are who they claim<br />

they are when in-person verification is not an option.<br />

Additionally, providing a positive onboarding experience can be a critical business differentiator. This is<br />

especially true for banks, which are facing pressure from online competitors and seeing their services<br />

commoditized. If they get the onboarding right, they can secure a customer’s loyalty for a lifetime. Forcing<br />

a customer to provide physical identification multiple times or answer too many questions can sour a<br />

relationship from the start. Biometrics work better in onboarding settings when it doesn’t slow the user<br />

down.<br />

As the world continues to leverage technology to provide a more secure, seamless, and now touchless<br />

experience for users, we can anticipate biometrics will be a driving force. Growing at a faster rate than<br />

non-biometric technology, they will be instrumental in enterprises’ moves to make the onboarding process<br />

more efficient as organizations bring identity verification to the forefront of their business operations.<br />
