Payments technology firm SafeCharge has launched Identity Manager, an automated digital identity validation solution.

With identity verification being one of the thorniest challenges for modern online businesses, the product aims to streamline complex background checks in a fast and cost-effective manner.

According to the company, it is designed as an agnostic gateway enabling merchants to connect to a wide range of identity validation providers worldwide, including Know Your Customer (KYC), document verification, age verification and sanction checks.

The Identity Manager is incorporated into SafeCharge’s Payment Engine, so can be implemented as part of its hosted payment pages, as well as through dedicated Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

The solution automates customer verification flows, re-routing checks to an alternative provider should one be unsuccessful. In case of a failed KYC check, customers are invited to upload their documents and get verified using a mobile phone or a desktop.

Identity Manger is aimed at those online businesses for which identity validation checks are a mandatory requirement subject to industry regulation. These include not only gaming, financial services and marketplaces, but also insurance and telecoms firms providing digital online services.
