KYC On-boarding
The current authentication process includes three stakeholders, namely, KYC company, the users and a third-party to check the identity of the user. Know your customer (KYC) company works to serve different industries such as banks, healthcare providers, immigration officials and much more. Since they serve different entities, they require enormous resources to process the entities needs. This in-turn will increase verification fee and third party companies have to wait quiet a long time to on-board the customers.
Lack of control
It is impossible for the users to have control over their personally identifiable information (PII) and they do not know who uses their information, how many times their PII has been shared and used. Beside this, user don’t even know where their personal information has been stored. All these happens because, the user has no control over their confidential details.
