Both services will be enhanced over the coming months to allow Canadians to continue verifying and authenticating information digitally while maintaining control of their privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs the digital transformation of our lives progresses, more Canadians are exchanging personal information online with regularity, including financial data and personal credentials,\u201d said Neil Butters, Vice President of Product at Interac. \u201cInterac is steadfast in its commitment to protecting Canadians\u2019 privacy and ensuring personal information is in their control when they choose to access online services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Interac<\/em> verification service helps Canadians verify their personal information online, in-person or by using a mobile device to sign up for new digital services. It allows users to authenticate themselves quickly and securely by establishing a trusted connection with their financial institution using their existing login information. Customers of participating financial institutions can use the <em>Interac<\/em> verification service network. The <em>Interac<\/em> verification service app is also available to download for the very first time as just another convenient option to easily and securely access services online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Interac<\/em> document verification service helps Canadians verify their personal information using government-issued photo ID and advanced biometrics from participating service providers. It eliminates the need to make an in-person visit to access online services that require proof of identity. The service combines advanced fraud management and advanced facial biometric analysis that meet strong security protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Interac<\/em> verification services work together to improve security and reduce fraud for various sensitive use cases such as accessing your credit score, registering for financial services, applying for credit, or accessing health information. When using Interac services, Canadians can be confident knowing that their information is safe, secure, and protected by industry leading security and privacy protocols. Additionally, no party involved in any Interac service can trace the user\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These changes come after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interac.ca\/content\/news\/interac-sign-in-service-to-surpass-100-million-transactions-in-2022-as-canadians-seek-secure-convenient-ways-to-authenticate-themselves-online\/\">recently renamed <em>Interac<\/em>\u00ae sign-in service<\/a> to replace Government Sign-In by Verified.Me, and follows a 2021 agreement that saw Interac <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interac.ca\/content\/news\/interac-acquires-securekey-digital-id-services-for-canada-five-things-you-need-to-know\/\">acquire the exclusive Canadian rights<\/a> for the services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our commitment to strong privacy protocols, fraud mitigation and governance has kept Canadians safe and secure when transacting for nearly four decades. <em>Interac<\/em> verification service and <em>Interac<\/em> document verification service build on this commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Interac<\/em> verification service can be accessed on your web browser or downloaded for use on your <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/ca\/app\/verified-me\/id1090441769\">iOS<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.securekey.verifiedme&amp;hl=en_CA&amp;gl=US\">Android<\/a> mobile device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on Interac verification solutions, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interac.ca\/consumers\/products\/interac-verification-solutions\/\">https:\/\/www.interac.ca\/consumers\/products\/interac-verification-solutions\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Interac Corp.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interac empowers Canadians to transact digitally with confidence by providing payment and value exchange services.
