Innovalor and iProov have teamed up to make the customer ID process easier at Netherlands’ headquartered Rabobank.

For the bank, Rabobank can lower the costs associated with customer ID verification and at the same time improve the customer experience for clients.

Rabo is enabling customers who require to prove their identity to do so via smartphone, avoiding the need to call into a branch.

For Rabobank, ID verification is a regulatory requirement as customers turn 18, the customer segment of the market typically the least likely to visit the branch.

Remote smartphone ID verification will also be rolled out by Rabobank for new directors of associations and foundations.  This will avoid the need for the association to visit a Rabo branch each time there is a change of management.

The Rabobank mobile banking app uses Innovalor’s software product ReadID. The NFC functionality of the smartphone reads the chip in the passport, the ID card or the driving licence.
