SAN DIEGO, May 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today at FinovateSpring 2015, Mitek (Nasdaq:MITK) (www.miteksystems.com), the leading innovator of mobile capture and identity solutions to improve customer acquisition, is announcing a new ID authentication technology, Photo Verify. This is the first mobile technology assured to instantly verify the authenticity of a driver license.
"This technology is the next step in enabling financial institutions to optimize the mobile channel for customer acquisition," said James B. DeBello, president & CEO, Mitek. "Institutions can be 100% sure that the license presented is an authentic, unaltered, government issued document. This will give them the confidence to approve more new customers. Consumers will enjoy the experience. They will simply scan their driver license with a phone or tablet and receive an instant result."
Photo Verify combines Mitek's proven MiSnap™ auto capture experience with advanced computer vision to instantly find and decode an encrypted security feature hidden on a driver license. When this security feature is detected by Photo Verify, the license is 100% authentic - this means zero false positives. This is superior to other validation solutions because it provides a highly accurate and fast result.
This revolutionary new ID authentication technology will be shown for the first time today at FinovateSpring 2015 in San Jose, CA, during demo session 1.
Photo Verify complements Mitek's award winning Photo Fill™ which optimizes mobile for customer acquisition with its intuitive use of the Camera as a Keyboard™. Both Photo Verify and Photo Fill offer the same Mitek user experience as Mobile Deposit, the dominant check deposit solution licensed by more than 3,700 banks and loved by nearly 50 million users.
It will be available to Mitek customers and partners in the summer of 2015. For more information, please call sales at 858.309.1704 or email sales@miteksystems.com.
