Regula and Contactable Collaborate in Africa

South African company, Contactable, has announced its adoption of Regula’s ID verification technology to further combat identity fraud across the continent.

According to a survey conducted by FICO in 2022, every seventh person experienced an identity fraud incident in South Africa. This, along with the growing demand for online services, has led companies to realize they need to strengthen the digital identity verification processes within their business.

Supported by Regula’s technology, Contactable’s solution recognizes an identity document type, automatically reads data, and performs cross-checks of all information from all document zones. This verification process helps spot any possible inconsistencies and detect illegal alterations and forgery.

In another layer of security, the ID photo image is digitally extracted and compared to the facial biometric image of the person on a trusted source, such as a Home Affairs biometric image.
