Eliminate missed revenue that results from fraudulent contracts

Telco companies, especially mobile network providers, are becoming increasingly concerned about the alarming rise in fraudulent contracts. Current paper-based identity checks can be easily forged, allowing fraudsters to open contracts with you which will never be paid. Not only is paper-based identity verification open to fraud, it's also a lengthy process which diminishes customer satisfaction. In a sector which experiences churn rates at more than 20%, customer acquisition and retention is critical.
