Crown Agents Bank reveals that it has introduced a biometric authentication pension solution, called EMpower Pensions. It offers secure, end-to-end pensions management, along with local and international pension payroll, from a unified, all-digital platform. EMpower Pensions aims to enhance the pensioner’s proof of life checking experience, by enabling them to provide an image of their identification and capture a live facial photo selfie, from their homes. For remote proof of life authentication, the EMpower Pensions platform uses AI-enhanced biometric facial recognition tech in order to compare clients’ facial biometrics with their identity documents and photographs – generating reliable and accurate scores for validity and facial similarity.
