New Era of Online KYC: Resona Banks Implement Liquid's IC Authentication System

In a significant advancement in financial services, Resona Bank, Saitama Resona Bank, and Kansai Mirai Bank are now adopting the cutting-edge online identity verification service, LIQUID eKYC, through their recently launched "IC Okama Pack." This innovative setup allows corporate clients to complete their identity verification without the hassle of photographing identification documents or submitting selfies. Instead, users simply need to scan their My Number Card IC chip using their smartphones, ensuring a fast and efficient authentication process.

Background of the Adoption


The three banks have previously implemented LIQUID eKYC for verifying the identities of account opening applicants, relying on a method that compares submitted identification documents with a selfie image. With the user-friendly interface and real-time image processing technology of LIQUID eKYC, the quality of the submitted images can be assessed instantly. If any issues arise, the system promptly informs users about the specific problems, resulting in lower dropout rates and fewer cases of unclear data submissions. This experience has led to the extension of the system through the IC Okama Pack.

Features of IC Okama Pack


Through the IC Okama Pack, clients utilize their My Number Card's IC chip for government-sanctioned identity verification (JPKI). This revolutionary technology encompasses a complete verification process that employs IC chips from My Number Cards or driver's licenses. The system automatically directs users to the most effective reading channels, adapted to their respective smartphone operating systems. For iOS users, the verification can be completed through a web browser, while Android users will access it via the LIQUID eKYC app. This streamlined approach drastically reduces development efforts while offering a more user-friendly verification method.

Additionally, with a patented technology, LIQUID eKYC now allows for government-sanctioned identity verification via web browsers, eliminating the previous requirement of app installation. This change significantly simplifies processes for users and helps prevent dropout rates, enhancing overall user satisfaction.

Online Corporate Account Openings


Resona Bank and its affiliates facilitate a fully online process for corporate account openings. Eligible customers can benefit from completely web-based account creation. They also have access to the Resona Group App for Business, which incurs no monthly fees, along with various advantages like corporate cards and strong security measures.
