HooYu facial biometrics added to NICE Actimize X-Sight Marketplace

ID verification and fraud investigation company HooYu has partnered with NICE Actimize’s X-Sight Marketplace, a financial crime risk management system, to improve customer on-boarding, ensure compliance and fight financial crime, the company announced.

The X-Sight Marketplace Platform-as-a-Service was developed as a unified solution to help companies operating in the financial services industry to better assess and integrate innovative solutions.

“There is strong synergy and alignment between the industry-leading financial crime solutions and platforms that NICE Actimize offers its community and HooYu. We look forward to building our presence within this innovative community platform.”

HooYu’s biometric facial recognition was also adopted for biometric selfie onboarding by NatWest and by alternative UK banking solution Suits Me.

“We are excited that HooYu, who shares our common goal of fighting financial crime through the benefits of a Marketplace ecosytem, is partnering with us and joining the X-Sight Marketplace community,” said Craig Costigan, CEO, NICE Actimize.

“By connecting via a cloud environment, community participants will experience a quicker time to value and minimized integration cost as they evaluate new solutions for their financial services organizations.”
