Identity Registration
Telecommunications
Typical scenarios: Bank account opening, insurance verification, etc.
ID card recognition can be used in industries such as banking and securities where customer identity must be verified for remote account opening and money transfer. It helps banks reduce labor costs and improve customer experience. In the case where commercial insurance companies are unable to confirm the identity of the insured as he or she cannot be present due to illness, age, or other factors, FaceID offers remote face verification services to help prevent insurance fraud and other risks.
Typical scenarios: Internet access in internet cafés, hotel check-in, etc.
Identity registration is required in places such as internet cafés under Chinese laws and regulations. In this case, the receptionist can use Tencent Cloud FaceID services to verify and register the customer's identity before granting internet access.
Typical scenarios: SIM card registration, activation, etc.
Carriers can use FaceID to provide remote identity verification to customers registering for online services. The customers can self-serve online once verified.
