FinovateAsia 2017 – Chekk

FinovateAsia 2017 – Chekk

How they describe themselves: Two opposite forces are at play. On one side, consumers don’t want to share personal information anymore. On the other side, regulation is forcing companies to know more about their customers and refresh it regularly. The only way to reconcile these two forces is to shift personal data ownership from businesses to individuals, to the benefits of both, which Chekk enables.

Founded and led by a team with extensive experience across financial industry and technology, Chekk has been featured by the World Economic Forum in their Digital Identity report, selected by Facebook for their first-ever accelerator, by Citi Group in the Tech4Integrity (received awards from IBM and Microsoft), and by Standard Chartered and Allianz in the SuperCharger.

Individuals are empowered (through a mobile App) to own their personal data and control what they share, and businesses get a secure platform (Web Portal, API) for seamless data request and on-going customer interactions (starting with customer due diligence at on-boarding and refresh, and then electronic verification of ID and secure messaging for chats, offers, alerts, statements).
