1) How does XYverify obtain its location data?
The Company aggregates location data from carrier partners through established agreements for technical and operations integration. Through this aggregation network, XYverify obtains Cell ID and Assisted–GPS network data that enables our algorithm to calculate proximity to approved location area(s) and report in real-time a thumbs-up proximity to transact determination together with a confidence score. XYverify solutions offer several noteworthy technological advantages over traditional GPS location data: the ability to locate feature phones and smart devices, little or no impact on battery life, rapid speed and no requirement for a downloadable device application.
2) How do you protect customer privacy?Privacy is essential for our platform and your customers will always be given the option to "opt-in" for location requests on their device. XYverify keeps specific location information hidden, only reporting a Proximity Estimate match. As a result, financial networks and mobile services get verification they need, but not specific consumer identifying data.
3) Are financial service and account holder data secure?XYverify and its carrier partners take many steps to ensure that the subscriber's location is secure. Each application must be authenticated prior to being allowed to acquire the location of the device. For each application, financial institutions MUST provide a plan for how they ensure that the customer's location is kept secure. Furthermore, they must sign a contract that states that they will ensure customer location security and privacy. By delivering a cloud-based app, it is possible to use autonomous data or numeric ID data that does not identify a specific customer. Similar, the cloud means you don't need to provide XYverify with customer data. You can keep personal identifiable data in your own secure database(s) and only request a geolocation verification from XYverify that does not need to pass us any personal customer identifiable data.
Invisible Technology is Different and Better
XYverify fraud prevention and compliance verifies your customer's location at time of transaction to reduce risk and fraud. The service applies mobile device location verification as new technology to better authenticate financial services. Working invisibly in the background of transaction, and without any software or code download, XYverify adds breakthrough compliance and risk reduction to better Know Your Customer (KYC) and comply with Anti-money Laundering (AML) regulations. Location intelligence confirms mobile device distance from any business, merchant, home or other postal address locations to better verify or deny transaction requests-never tracking customer location or capturing personal identifiable data into an API solution that confirms real-time customer's mobile device location match to postal mail address distance rules. The privacy-protected approach is unique and dramatically innovates and reduces bank and others risk expense or compliance exposure.
We Deliver 4th Factor Validation Services
XYverify introduces a brand new way for financial institutions to reduce costs around high-risk transactions by allowing them to apply mobile geolocation authentication and do it quickly over mobile in an automated fashion by applying the XYverify API platform in the Cloud.
By incorporating XYverify's 'where are you' data into authentication algorithms that have traditionally relied solely upon a determination of "who are you", those algorithms produce substantially improved results. Subsequently, XYverify's customers realize significantly reduced transaction fraud rates and improved customer service. The XYverify Proximity to Transact verification service works seamlessly in the background as transactions are being undertaken. The service leverages existing wireless infrastructure. No software download or application is required on the associated mobile device.
API Integrates Cloud With Risk Reporting
The API's out-of-band fraud reduction benefits can be combined with geolocation rewards, offers and incentives to generate more revenue for merchants and business partners with robust incentives by using geolocation provided by XYverify API platform that never requires any device application download or install process. Everything works in real-time, even on feature phones to reduce fraud and deliver a new fourth factor of authentication process within an approved geofenced proximity to transact range.
The multi-platform authentication solution can apply to multiple service applications, potentially being the trustworthy verification solution for "intrastate" poker transactions, which means bets are both taken and placed within a given state's borders, such that the subscriber is allowed to make transactional wagers when validated in geofence of his or her pre-registered driver's license home mailing address.
No app install or download required
The U.S. patent applies carrier cell-tower triangulation with assisted-GPS and other hybrid mobile network technologies, and mobile device micro sensors, to work rapidly indoor where most transactions take place. Previous IP focused on GPS device satellite authentication unable to report indoors. XYverify works in real-time, even on feature phone, to reduce fraud within an approved proximity range to transact.
XYverify keeps specific location information hidden only reporting a Proximity Estimate match. As a result, financial networks and mobile services get verification they need, but not specific consumer identifying data. The result is "trusted" 3rd party location status verified by out-of-band authentication, combined with variable rules and permissions programmed into Cloud-based API. The Company applies same technologies for location voting & polling authentication solutions under its eVOTZ® service brand.
