March 12, 2012 - PRLog -- ATLANTA– Plastyc Inc., a consumer financial services company, and IDology Inc, a leading identity verification provider today announced a partnership to better serve the prepaid card industry. Plastyc has integrated IDology’s identity proofing solutions within its Internet and mobile money management platform to perform automated CIP. This partnership will help make approvals more reliable and faster across its platform especially for under-banked applicants.  

Plastyc  provides affordable deposit, payment and saving financial services for people with limited access to, or distrust in large banks.  Through its UPside cards and iBankUP portal, consumers are provided with the same conveniences of having a bank account but without risks of overdraft or credit.  

“We give our customers the advantage of full banking services regardless of their prior experience with traditional bank accounts,” said Patrice Peyret, co-founder and CEO of Plastyc. “We found IDology’s solution to be the best in helping us make the Customer Identification Process (CIP) more reliable and convenient for our applicants”

IDology’s ExpectID solutions are being used to verify consumers enrolling for Plastyc’s services at upsidecard.com and ibankup.com. In addition, if a discrepancy exists in the initial CIP verification,   IDology automatically escalates transactions to a higher level of verification.   By incorporating IDology’s ExpectID IQ to generate out-of-wallet questions and verify someone is who they say they are, Playstic is able to efficiently verify people in a way that is friendlier for consumers than having to fax in a copy of a utility bill or some other sort of documentary evidence.  Plastyc also uses IDology’s intuitive ID Notes feature to detect when certain conditions are associated with an ID, such as an address discrepancy, to ensure cards are being shipped to both the right place and person.

“Before we were relying on a manual verification process to resolve uncertainties with an identity,” said Peyret.  “IDology’s services provide us with the right balance between resolving mistakes made by consumers and detecting someone trying to game the system and commit fraud.”

“Verifying people with limited credit histories is an area in which we excel,” said John Dancu, CEO of IDology.  “This partnership gives Plastyc an automated way to increase the number of issued cards and drive more revenue.”
