Shyft now with iiDENTIFii
Having successfully launched Shyft to its customers, Standard Bank is looking at ways of making the foreign currency application accessible to users who do not have an active transactional account with the bank. Shyft app enables users to buy, send and store foreign currency directly from their mobile phone. In order to access the app as non Standard Bank users, new customers initially had to visit a Standard Bank branch to verify their identity.
“Shyft is essentially a digital solution that allows for easy and convenient access to foreign currency, and we needed this friction-free ethos to be reflected in the sign-up process for every customer – regardless of who they bank with,” says Arno von Helden, head of PBB FX Digital Solutions at Standard Bank. “By working with iiDENTIFii, we have been able to remove the barriers to adoption for non Standard Bank users.”
iiDENTIFii is a global remote biometric digital authentication and automated on-boarding technology platform.
With the iiDENTIFii solution in place, non Standard bank users can securely open a Shyft account via their mobile phones without having to go into a branch.
Platform: Android and iOS
Expect to pay: Opening an account is free however fees will be charged dealing with forex
