US Bankcard Services has announced that the identity authentication services of AuthenticID will be available to its merchants.

AuthenticID’s solution uses scanners with built-in barcode and magnetic stripe readers. With access to most international and North American government identity document issuers, the company’s software is able to compare a scanned ID to the ID in its document library.

The process is quick and works with driver’s licenses, green cards, and other types of government issued-identification.

US Bankcard Services was founded in 1996 by Chris Chang, who currently serves as president. The company is headquartered in City of Industry, California. Here are some additional metrics on US Bankcard Services:

• Serves more than 10,000 merchant accounts
• Has processed more than $11 billion
• Offers a 95% approval rate within 24 hours
• Has more than 100 employees

AuthenticID will be presenting its technology as part of FinovateSpring, May 14 and 15 in San Francisco. To learn more about the event, visit our FinovateSpring page here.
