authID’s biometric identity proofing and multi-factor authentication has helped Hamilton Reserve Bank (HRB) reduce the risk of identity fraud, mitigate password risk, and deliver seamless banking experiences that are trusted by HRB’s loyal customers.

In creating a digital solution, we streamlined the online customer application process for both retail and business accounts, and reduced client onboarding time,” says Anthony Gajor, executive vice president, global business development.
The result is a digital onboarding experience that is both satisfying and safe for customers. The process is significantly shorter, and customers can use any mobile or desktop browser to quickly capture their identity document and snap their selfie.
