Voice biometrics streamlines proof of life authentication for businesses and beneficiaries, while reducing costs and enhancing security, says Vanda Dickson, business development manager at Smartz Solutions.
In South Africa, verifying proof of life is a critical task, particularly for pension fund s, insurance companies and other financial institutions responsible for ensuring that benefits are paid out only to legitimate recipients. The current system for proving one’s existence is often cumbersome and inconvenient, both for the individuals who must prove their identity and for the organisations responsible for verifying it.
In a country like South Africa, where economic and social challenges are ever-present, adopting voice biometrics could be the key to modernising and simplifying a critical aspect of financial management.Understanding voice biometrics: What is it? The process often involves long waits, complex paperwork and, in some cases, additional travel expenses. For those living in remote areas, the journey to the nearest verification point can be particularly burdensome, leading to unnecessary stress and frustration.
The system prompts the individual to speak a few words or respond to specific questions. As the person speaks, the voice biometric system analyses their voice in real-time, comparing it to the stored voiceprint.There’s no need for travel, no paperwork and no waiting in line. The simplicity and convenience of this system cannot be overstated.
Moreover, the adoption of voice biometrics for proof of life verification could set a new standard for other sectors as well. From social grants to healthcare benefits, the potential applications of this technology are vast. By embracing voice biometrics, South African institutions can lead the way in creating a more efficient, secure, and customer-friendly approach to robust authentication.
