class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year, millions of complaints are registered around identity thefts. Of these, most of them involve fake account creations, credit\/debit card frauds, making unauthorised purchases, and even obtaining loans.&nbsp; According to statistics, in 2021 alone, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.javelinstrategy.com\/press-release\/identity-fraud-losses-total-52-billion-2021-impacting-42-million-us-adults\" rel=\"nofollow\">identity theft resulted in the loss of USD 52 billion<\/a> worldwide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To reduce such activities and constant loss, businesses have started taking identity verification seriously. Every customer or vendor&nbsp; needs to undergo an identity verification (or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cashfree.com\/blog\/what-are-the-kyc-procedures-for-merchant-onboarding\/'\">KYC<\/a>) procedure almost all financial institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this blog, we\u2019ll help you understand&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The concept behind identity verification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>its benefits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identity verification procedures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and how Cashfree Payments makes the entire process easy and efficient<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll start with the very basic question first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-identity-verification-mean\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_Identity_Verification_Mean\"><\/span>What Does Identity Verification Mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a layman\u2019s language, identity verification is a process undertaken to confirm a person or an entity\u2019s identity and validate their details. This typically involves checking or cross-verifying their details mentioned on government issued identity documents such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport, driving licence, birth certificate and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Identity verification is used across multiple industries, especially the banking and payments industry, to ensure smooth payment transfers to the correct person. In fact, it is instrumental for avoiding financial crimes or money laundering activities. Ideally identity verification process is also known as the KYC (know your customer) process. This can be done offline, at an office or bank branch, or online using third-party identification verification service providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customer identity verification,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Eliminates the risk of fraudulent activities, money laundering, failures and thereafter, payment reversals,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ensures proper risk assessment and management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is one of the faster, and more efficient ways to onboard customers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-identity-verification-as-a-service\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Identity_Verification_As_A_Service\"><\/span>What Is Identity Verification As A Service?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With everything going digital, including opening bank accounts or sending money to a person or entity via online payment mediums, the need for customer identity verification has become paramount.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, taking up this activity in-house and ensuring identity validation for every single onboarding is a very time and resource consuming task. To solve this issue, many organisations help businesses with quick identity verification suites. For instance, with Cashfree Payments\u2019 Verification Suite, you can easily verify a person or entity\u2019s bank account, aadhaar, UPI ID, PAN, GST details and more with government\u2019s updated database in real-time, 24*7. Such a service is known as Identity Verification as a Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This service also addresses many customer pain points and ensures that they complete their identity verification effortlessly. For instance, a customer can simply verify identity within 2-3 steps complete the entire process. They no longer need to visit an office or branch and go through the otherwise complicated and cumbersome ID verification process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, a research report by McKinsey projects that <a href=\"https:\/\/fuelbymckinsey.com\/article\/the-next-20-billion-digital-market-id-verification-as-a-service\" rel=\"nofollow\">Identity Verification as a Service is expected to touch USD 20 billion mark by the end of FY 2022<\/a>, with Total Addressable Market growth of approximately 9% to 15%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-challenges-and-benefits-of-identity-verification\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_The_Challenges_And_Benefits_Of_Identity_Verification\"><\/span>What Are The Challenges And Benefits Of Identity Verification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listed below are some reasons why we need identity verification.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-challenges-of-identity-verification\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Challenges_Of_Identity_Verification\"><\/span>Challenges Of Identity Verification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many challenges pertain to verifying a person or entity\u2019s identity.

For instance, their name, number, address, etc. Identification helps build a person\u2019s identity which they can then use to open bank accounts, get insurance, sign up for loans, passports, and so on. aadhaar, PAN, Passport, etc. are some examples of identification.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verification, on the other hand, focuses more on verifying a user\u2019s furnished information. This is especially important to eliminate the risk of fraudulent activities such as setting up accounts using stolen identities, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides identity cards, modern verification method uses fingerprint scan and facial scan among others to cross-verify a user\u2019s identity with the data saved in government records. This helps verify IDs faster and detect suspicious activities, if any.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-difference-between-identity-vs-authentication\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_The_Difference_Between_Identity_vs_Authentication\"><\/span>What Is The Difference Between Identity vs Authentication?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Identification is ideally a way to identify a user based on their name, surname, address, phone number, and other critical parameters. In other words, identity represents a person\u2019s individuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authentication, on the other hand, is the proof that a user furnishes to certify that the information they have furnished is correct and valid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To give you an example, an aadhaar card represents a person\u2019s identity. However, documents such as ration cards or birth certificates serve as authentication proofs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-does-identity-verification-take\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Does_Identity_Verification_Take\"><\/span>How Long Does Identity Verification Take?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different tools take different amounts of time to validate an identity. For instance, a bank may take about 2 hours to 24 hours to verify an identity. Meanwhile, Cashfree Payments\u2019 Verification Suit enables identity verification within seconds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-employers-verify-identity-online\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_Employers_Verify_Identity_Online\"><\/span>How Do Employers Verify Identity Online?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common ways to verify employee identity is by partnering with a third-party identity verification service provider. However, if you want to do it in-house then employers can use Cashfree Payments\u2019 Verification Suite to verify employee identities.
