Financial inclusion ecosystems with Digital neighborhood Banking Agents


Description

We help banks and financial cooperatives to process all their operations from each neighborhood business thanks to our biometric devices that allow people to make any payment or transaction with facial biometric validation without contact and with the highest standards of security for citizens.

ICT Tools used: Biometrics as a contactless transaction system beating a card or a cell phone without the need for people to use the internet. Low-cost biometric devices that increase the reach of banks and financial cooperatives, reducing investment in ATMs or physical agencies. We work with Api integration with the Banking Systems.
