It\u2019s fair to say that contacting call centres, in particular Financial Institutions, are never a pleasant experience. It\u2019s hard to get through the IVR and even harder to get through the security questions to prove who you say you are. Knowledge based details such as mother\u2019s maiden name, date of birth, present and past address, last 2 transactions, alternate contact number, favourite cartoon and so on are used to prove ones identity.\u00a0 Yet a recent study<\/a> has stated that the global call centre fraud has increased by 45% in the last three years. Fraudsters are increasingly, and with alarming success, using social engineering to get through the security checks. Despite the friction security questions pose for legitimate customers, Financial Institutions have done little to change this for its perceived safety over other forms of authentication.<\/p>\n

Could biometrics such as \u201cwho you are\u201d replace \u201cwhat you know\u201d as a form of frictionless authentication? This is precisely the question we had in mind when we rolled out our face recognition solution for call centres. But we wanted to make the whole process frictionless. In other words come up with a convenient and easy way to prove who you are even before the call is connected. And the customer services agent is not obliged to ask any further details to establish your identity.<\/p>\n

So how does this work? You enrol for this service on the Bank\u2019s mobile App and that\u2019s that. \u00a0And when there is a need to talk to a customer services representative, all you need to do is tap on the \u201cSpeak to Support\u201d and the phone will request for a selfie. The selfie is then used to match against the previously enrolled face and authenticates you even before the call is connected. All this happens in a few seconds. And as soon as the call is connected, the support agent is also notified that the customer has been authenticated. A natural conversation can begin immediately rather than spending the first few minutes proving your identity.<\/p>\n

This method in no way takes away the all-important security that is needed to protect customers in a Bank. It still adds two factor authentication as mandated by most regulators. The first factor is the customer\u2019s phone which is registered with the Bank and the second factor is the customer\u2019s biometric facial features which are unique. \u00a0And it adds a great deal of convenience to both the customer and the customer support staff as a friendly tone can be struck immediately. \u00a0Imagine the possibilities now.<\/p>\n
