Digital transformation and profit: EVOCABANK and OZ FORENSICS partnership

Over two years of successful cooperation, the joint project of Oz Forensics (Dubai) and the digital commercial bank Evocabank (Armenia) has shown its effectiveness and has become an example of the successful use of the latest technologies in banking business processes. Thanks to Oz Liveness and Oz Biometry solutions, the bank was able to attract more than 40,000 new customers without visiting branches.

Mobile banking has made a qualitative and sharp step forward. In confirmation of all the trends, banks have given priority to online customer service and reduced the number of offices. However, remote work requires an increased level of security, as the level of digital fraud increases every year. Modern authentication technologies reduce risks and simplify processes such as registering a new client, opening an account remotely, and obtaining a loan. Customers can use banking services anywhere and at any convenient time. Oz Liveness and Oz Biometry solutions to prevent spoofing and deepfake attacks allowed Evocabank to improve the quality and security of mobile banking in the shortest possible time.

“Thanks to the simple and highly accurate solutions of Oz Liveness and Oz Biometry, our bank attracted more than 40,000 clients from all regions of Armenia in a year. The rate of biometric fraud cases last year was 0.5%. None of the biometric attacks bypassed the system. Oz Forensics protection is directly related to reducing potential losses. Fraudsters try to bypass the biometric system when lending online, thereby increasing the risk of non-performing loans. The use of Oz Liveness technology makes this process not only safe, but also cost-effective,” – Ruben Sagoyan, Head of Digital Business at Evocabank.

Oz Liveness anti-spoofing and Oz Biometry face comparison solutions are built into the bank’s mobile app. Clients go through identification, which identifies a living person in the frame and compares the person’s face with the photo on the document and from the database. The process does not require any effort from the client and takes less time than taking a selfie.

“Preventing fraud using biometric attacks by identifying a live person in the frame is one of the main elements of our product line,” says Artem Gerasimov, CEO of Oz Forensics. – Our solutions are ISO-30107 and iBeta NIST level 1 and 2 certified, they are able to recognize and distinguish a fake from a real person. This is a huge advantage for both the bank and the client. Together with Evocabank, we have built a fast and reliable process for establishing business relationships with a bank client.”

Cooperation between Oz Forensics and Evocabank is not just a solution implementation, but a promising project. The Company and the Bank intend to continue to cooperate in the implementation of the Bank’s strategy – the development of a portfolio of digital financial services using biometric identification.
