Brazil partners with a biometric identity verification provider in a strategic move for Serpro

Brazil seeks to improve fraud prevention for businesses operating in Latin America.

South America’s largest economy enters into a strategic partnership as the technology company of the federal government of Brazil Serpro team up with REACT-OnID.

A biometric identity verification company, REACT-OnID will provide Brazilian institutions with the ability to verify identities and documents in a more secure way by integrating biometric verification into Serpro government databases.

“Countries like Brazil, with its large and fast-growing economy, face a high vulnerability to identify fraud,” said Alan Archila, CEO of REACT-OnID.

“Our partnership with Serpro offers a powerful solution to help Brazilian businesses defend against fraudsters using fake identities,” he continued.

The integration of REACT-OnID and Serpro will mean multi-modal ID verification and advanced ISO 30107-3 compliant technology, including contactless fingerprint and facial biometric recognition, as well as enhanced fraud detection using both passive and and dynamics to protect against identity theft and fraud.

John W. Puente, President OnID Inc., commented: “By linking up with Serpro, we enable Brazilian businesses to verify customer identities directly against official government records, whether the ID is from Brazil or internationally.”

Serpro is the largest public sector IT provider in Brazil and supports government agencies such as the Federal Police, Ministry of Foreign Relations, National Department of Traffic and Federal Revenue in Brazil.

Serpro provided a facial recognition system check delegates at a G20 meeting was held in Rio de Janeiro earlier this year.
