AuthenticID Launches PictureID to Beat Identity Fraud

Thumbnail image for authenticIDLogo.jpgThis post is part of our live coverage of FinovateSpring 2013.

Representatives from AuthenticID are making their way to the stage. The company is launching its latest authentication solution, pictureID.
“AuthenticID’s identity authentication solution, pictureID, annihilates ID fraud. It is the only system that’s invulnerable to fraud schemes. Our unique agreement with DHS allows pictureID to connect with all document issuers in the U.S. and Canada. This enables financial institutions and telecoms to go directly to the source for identity authentication. Unlike identity data analytic providers – we don’t ‘guess.’ We provide absolute ID confirmation since document issuers’ records are unique to every citizen. There’s no way to trick pictureID – it returns a picture of the real consumer on file with the document issuer – with 100% accuracy.”
Product Launched: May 2013
HQ Location: Atlanta, GA
Company Founded: January 2012
Metrics: self-funded/pre-revenue; 3 full-time employees and outsourced development teams
Website: authentic.co
Twitter: @AuthenticID
Presenting Blair Cohen (CEO & Founder) and Brian Rossignol (CISO)
