<p>RaonSecure, a South Korean tech security firm and blockchain solutions developer, announced yesterday its partnership with the Korea Federation of Savings Banks (KFSB) to build a system that verifies customers’ identities through mobile identification cards, according to local news outlet <a href="https://www.fnnews.com/news/202308070930518067" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Financial News</a>.</p><h2 id="header-0">Improving customer convenience</h2><p>The KFSB has undertaken the establishment of a mobile ID verification system with the goal of improving customer convenience. This system enables mobile ID cardholders to easily verify their identities during the know-your-customer (KYC) procedures of savings banks, whether they are conducted remotely or in-person. In pursuit of this objective, RaonSecure was chosen through a selection process that sought out a company with experience in constructing mobile IDs.</p><h2 id="header-1">Blockchain-powered DID solution</h2><p>RaonSecure CEO Lee Soon-hyung said the company has demonstrated its technological prowess by providing cutting-edge services based on its blockchain-powered decentralized identity (DID) platform, OmniOne. These offerings include an application tailored for civil servant IDs, along with an app specially crafted to support citizens who entered or completed military service.</p><p>Under this agreement, RaonSecure will develop a system designed to ensure both convenience and security in verifying mobile IDs across the integrated computer network of KFSB’s member banks. The company has future plans to extend its services to individual banks, aiming for wider implementation and utilization.</p><p>During the initial phase of the service rollout, verification will be limited to driver’s licenses. However, RaonSecure’s overarching objective is to establish a dynamic and adaptable system capable of accommodating a broader array of identification documents, such as resident registration cards, in the future.</p><p>Most Korean commercial banks have already accepted mobile IDs for their identification processes. Other financial institutions, including insurance companies and card companies, are also embracing this trend and introducing similar services. This collective shift is anticipated to expedite the growth and expansion of the industry.</p>
