LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA, August 12, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ —
Today, Canadian FinTech leader thirdstream announced a new partnership agreement with Thales as part of its cloud-based deposit and lending account origination ecosystem. Thirdstream will deliver the Thales IdCloud KYC and AML solutions, serving over forty Canadian credit unions, banks and trust companies. Thirdstream’s partnership with Thales to integrate their world-renowned digital identity verification services represents the fourth major innovation that thirdstream has announced in the past twelve months.
“Incorporating Thales IdCloud KYC services was a strategic choice for us, since it gives thirdstream a head start helping clients leverage the FINTRAC ‘Government Issued ID Method’ published in November, 2019, around unattended account opening,” said CEO Keith Ginter. “We designed the platform to adopt the latest identity repositories and technologies to enhance the quality of the consumer experience. As a result, we ingested these new regulations in weeks. By adding Thales technology to our extensive list of ID verification methods, we are continuing to increase those success rates in the unattended origination space.”
The Thales KYC and AML solutions will help streamline client onboarding and provide further due diligence and risk assessment options by accessing additional data repositories on applicants. This will offer financial institutions added confidence in their decision-making.
Thirdstream’s integrations support attended and unattended account origination for deposits and loans. The solution optimizes the journey through financial and device fraud, identity verification, credit decisioning and real-time account funding. Thales verification solutions further enhance clients’ ability to approve, open and fund accounts and credit applications in real-time, with a wider range of applicants.
“Thales is thrilled to extend thirdstream’s on-boarding platform with our cutting-edge, best-in-class ID Document Verification and AML check services technology,” said Brian Hirman, Thales Canada’s Vice President of Banking and Payment. “This partnership will most certainly accelerate the transition of banks and other institutions towards a fully digitalized, real-time customer on-boarding process while maintaining the highest levels of security”.
“Our ecosystem design accommodates the continuous integration of additional third-parties. We now offer clients over thirty integrations. This is another example of the team at thirdstream working with a recognized market leader, building on our foundation, and delivering superior identity verification and fraud detection outcomes.” Ginter added.
Thirdstream’s account opening and lending solutions are deployed on Microsoft Azure, designed for online and in-branch experiences for retail and commercial applicants. The solution set accommodates originations anytime, anywhere, from any device.
