Daon and CTMS have signed a partnership agreement that enables CTMS to deliver KYC and onboarding solutions backed by Daon’s biometric and liveness detection technologies to financial institutions and other industries in France and other French-speaking countries. CTMS provides a variety of KYC and onboarding solutions for banks and financial institutions, police, administrations, social agencies and businesses in France, Africa and abroad.

It concretely helps the fight against fraud, allows us to provide an even higher degree of security to our customers while facilitating the journey of users. Our partnership with Daon enriches our offering with the best of biometric technologies, complementing our leading anti-fraud position.”

Daon recently launched what it calls a “landmark new release” of its biometrics-based digital onboarding product with new features including smart fraud detection with anti-spoofing and biometric watchlists that monitor duplicate identities and multiple attempts at account openings. According to the announcement, the new release integrates seamlessly with third-party identity proofing tools and runs on both mobile and web.
