ID Verification
Written by:

In today’s fast-paced world, verifying the identity of clients, tenants, or partners is more crucial than ever. Whether you’re a mortgage broker, realtor, landlord, or business owner, ensuring that you’re working with legitimate individuals is key to avoiding fraud and staying compliant with regulatory standards.

At Fastkey, we offer a powerful and FINTRAC-compliant ID verification tool that simplifies the process while ensuring the highest level of security. Let’s explore how this innovative solution can benefit your business and keep you compliant.


What is Fastkey’s ID Verification?

Our ID verification system is designed to make identity confirmation quick, easy, and secure. Using biometric technology, our tool compares a selfie taken by the user to their government-issued ID. This match ensures that the person presenting the ID is indeed the individual they claim to be.

Behind the scenes, we run a comprehensive set of checks to validate the authenticity of the ID, ensuring that you’re dealing with legitimate documentation. This process minimizes the risk of fraud, giving you peace of mind in every transaction.


Why FINTRAC Compliance Matters

FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada) requires businesses in many sectors to implement strict identity verification protocols to prevent money laundering, fraud, and other illicit activities. If you’re in the real estate, financial, or rental industries, compliance isn’t just a recommendation – it’s a legal requirement.

Failing to comply with FINTRAC regulations can lead to severe penalties, from hefty fines to reputational damage. By using Fastkey’s ID verification tool, you can rest assured that your business is adhering to these crucial regulations.

How Does Our Biometric Technology Work?

Fastkey’s biometric verification process is simple yet powerful. Here’s how it works:

  1. The user takes a selfie using their smartphone or webcam.
  2. They upload a photo of their ID (such as a driver’s license or passport).
  3. Our system compares the selfie to the ID photo, ensuring a match.
  4. Background checks are automatically run to validate the ID’s authenticity, ensuring it hasn’t been altered or tampered with.

This seamless process ensures that fraudulent documents are caught before they can cause issues for your business.
