On average the verification process should only take your client less than 2 minutes.
Verification can be done on any smart device that has a camera, including laptops with webcams. Though for best results, we recommend using a smartphone less than 5 years old.
We have very detailed reporting capability including being able to create filters and save your own designed reports to better enable you to report on all aspects of managing your TPB requirements in relation to ID verification. The best part of all is as a result of integration with all the leading Practice Management systems this means that you can report on all you clients not just the ones you have Identified but importantly the ones you haven’t identified.
Workflow and Alerts capability is built in our platform in numerous areas. For example, X days after an ID request has been issued to your client our platform will automatically reissue the request if the ID Verification process has not been completed. X days after that follow up request has been made a workflow task is generated to a nominated person in your firm to follow up with the client.
