How they describe themselves: As our tagline states, authenticID is “True Identity Made Simple.” Our solutions work worldwide – and our pictureID solution is 100% accurate – a claim no other identity verification product can make. Traditional identity analytic companies’ solutions leave holes that allow ID Fraudsters to easily penetrate their defenses, as reflected by the skyrocketing increase in new account and account takeover fraud in 2012. authenticID takes a completely different approach by creating highly innovative solutions that are immune to commonly deployed fraud schemes.

How they describe their product/innovation: 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 US 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.

How they describe themselves: Better ATM Services is a technology innovator with patented technology that leverages the latent capacity of the world’s existing fleet of more than 2 million ATMs. This technology enables ATMs to load, activate and dispense specially designed prepaid cards just like cash directly from ATM cash trays. Our current product line includes ATM-dispensed Visa prepaid gift cards and Discover multi-merchant cards. We are partnered with the world’s major ATM deployers, ATM manufacturers, card brands and card payment networks to capture a share of the more than $549 billion loaded onto prepaid cards in 2012.

How they describe their product/innovation: We’ve bridged the gap between ATMs and prepaid cards! Better ATM Services worked with major card payment networks to develop thinner, yet durable 3-panel cards that can roll through ATM cash mechanisms, yet function like normal payment cards at point-of-sale terminals. We also worked with major ATM manufacturers to develop very minor modifications that allow existing ATMs to select, load, activate and dispense these new cards. This new card design is now approved for use by financial institutions throughout the U.S. and international approvals are underway. Financial institutions can now automate their prepaid programs through their existing ATM fleets.

We provide secure, encrypted readers and a simple SDK that makes it ridiculously easy to build applications that include payment acceptance.
