Posten Norge selects Gemalto ID Verification to strengthen fraud protection for Norway
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, Sept. 1(st), 2016 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world
leader in digital security, has won a major contract to supply Posten Norge,
Norway's national post and logistics service, with its Coesys ID Verification
solution that enables customer credentials such as identity cards and passports
to be checked quickly and easily by branch staff. Coesys ID Verification will
deliver a robust solution for the authentication of identification documents and
allow Posten Norge to act as a highly efficient Know Your Customer (KYC) hub for
the country's financial services sector, in line with the requirements of the
latest EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AML4).
The new solution is to be deployed in 1100 branches at first, with the potential
ultimately to cover Posten Norge's entire, 1400-strong national network.
Verification of identity credentials will be performed by existing staff using a
specialized passport and ID card scanner. Documents are checked instantly for
discrepancies against Gemalto's comprehensive database of worldwide passports
and identity documents.
Posten Norge will initially use Coesys ID Verification for tasks such as
checking that letters and parcels are collected by their legitimate recipients.
They will also assist banks and other financial enterprises by confirming the
identity of customers picking up new payment cards, for example. In the long
term the solution will create a platform for innovative new services and
position Posten Norge as the country's leading provider of document
authentication.
"The scale and sophistication of identity fraud continues to grow worldwide,"
said John Eckhoff, Chief Press Officer at Posten Norge. "Coesys ID Verification
leverages Gemalto's unrivaled experience and expertise in secure identity
documentation and represents an easy-to-deploy, easy-to-operate solution that
can help realize Posten Norge's future vision."
"Posten Norge is already much more than a delivery service," said Patrick
Kleuters, Senior Vice President for Europe at Gemalto. "Combined with Posten
Norge's trusted status and national branch network, Coesys ID Verification
enables them to step seamlessly into the role of central ID service for a wide
range of enterprises."
