Hosted Proof-of-Life voice biometric solution

OneVault has announced the launch of its hosted Proof-of-Life voice biometric solution which assists companies to confirm identity and life via a remote channel.

Proof-of-Life or Certificate of Existence is a requirement of many organisations, specifically the likes of governments, pension and insurance companies, where they require their customers to produce a certificate signed by a trusted entity to confirm that the individual is still alive. The current processes implemented by many organisations are often both onerous and stressful for the individual and generally result in a huge administrative task for the organisation processing the Proof-of-Life.

Implementing an automated Proof-of-Life process can drive significant efficiency all round. For individuals, it means confirming their identity remotely with minimal amount of effort via a convenient channel – the telephone. For organisations, implementing an automated Proof-of-Life process, will deliver convenient real-time reporting across their entire customer base which can then be used to trigger or validate payments upon proof-of-life confirmation. Not only is the process far more secure, it limits fraud by eliminating imposters and reduces the opportunity for internal corruption.

OneVault, with its hosted voice biometric offering is able to provide a total solution for customers where the entire Proof-of-Life can be managed. Through a dedicated portal, customers are able to review the status of any their customers, schedule campaigns to initiate outbound calls to remind or request a Proof-of-Life verification and integrate the Proof-of-Life status with payments, etc.

As an innovator, OneVault has recognised the opportunity for a biometric solution in the South African market that would facilitate remote access and authentication. Voice biometrics is the only biometric that delivers a highly secure means of verifying an individual in remote applications without the need for any dedicated hardware.

“OneVault has identified a number of solutions where our Voice Authentication as a Service (VAaaS) offering will change the way companies think about, apply and implement authentication solutions. Our Proof-of-Life solution is a perfect example of this. The business value alone, in terms of cost reduction, risk and fraud mitigation and improved customer experience makes the business case for remote voice biometric Proof-of-Life compelling,” says Paul Hutton, CEO, OneVault.
