Idemia emerged in second place at the AFI 2020 Inclusive Fintech Showcase for its solution which facilitates digital identity service delivery for disadvantaged and vulnerable groups.

In an announcement, the augmented identity solutions provider said it was among 12 shortlisted companies in the showcase event which celebrates solutions that are capable of helping disadvantaged persons, advancing financial inclusion and checking the impact of the global coronavirus pandemic. The shortlist was named in November.

During a virtual presentation to the AFI jury, Idemia’s director of business intelligence at the company’s digital business unit, Ali Akbar, highlighted in what ways fintechs and regulators can explore their solution in providing digital identity registration or verification services to the disadvantaged, allowing them access to certain basic needs.

Idemia said finishing among the top three companies at the showcase also means it will be allowed to take part in AFI’s public-private dialogue platform and will enjoy membership, for a period of one year, into the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT) which provides a number of services to fintech companies.

Matthew Cole, chief executive officer of Idemia’s SET division expressed gratitude for the award. “We are extremely pleased to be recognized by AFI. By reducing the hurdles to financial inclusion and leveraging risk-based KYC approaches, we can create channels through which the world’s most vulnerable populations can access essential services and enter the digital financial world,” he said.
