IDfy launches Video KYC process to reduce cost by more than 90%: Economic Times
Date Published
An Economic Times article today has reported on IDfy’s latest product release – the Video KYC process platform.
“IDfy has launched a video KYC process to help service entities collect full user documentation through live video and reduce cost by more than 90%.”
The article also quotes Ashok Hariharan, Founder & CEO, IDfy on what the latest ordinance issued by the Government means for the Indian Fintech sector.
“The PMLA, which was just passed alongside the Aadhaar amendment, allowed only banks to authenticate using Aadhaar. For other financial sub sectors to avail Aadhaar, the PMLA must be updated and passed either as an ordinance or by Parliament,” said Ashok Hariharan, cofounder, IDfy.
The article is about how the Fintech industry has largely been kept out of the ordinance issued by the Central Government on February 28, 2019 that makes Aadhaar eKYC legal for banks and telcos as long as the customer has consented and the Aadhaar number is masked.
“Industry insiders said despite multiple representations, the non-banking payment companies seem to have largely been left out in the Ordinance for Aadhaar authentication, at least according to their preliminary understanding.”

All other operational segments like forex, deposits, cash, cheques, and clearing accounts are tiny problems, in comparison, accounting for less than a percent of total banking frauds.

Wading through knee-deep water, he wondered if his loan application would be approved anytime soon so that he could add a new wing to his popular gymnasium. He worried about his woefully inadequate credit history and his inability to provide a land bank as collateral for his loan – a common expectation from the lending officer at the bank.
