CLIENT

Uniclick by Unifin is a user-friendly digital platform designed to cater to the unique financial requirements of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Mexico. Offering a wide array of financial products leveraging seamless digital technologies and featuring a user-friendly interface, Uniclick is dedicated to spearheading a transformative shift in the business landscape for SMEs in Mexico, enabling them to access credit facilities effortlessly while fostering a sustainable and socially responsible digital ecosystem.

CONTEXT

In recent years, the financial landscape in Mexico has undergone a revolutionary change, influenced by various factors. The rise in mobile phone usage and internet connectivity, coupled with the modernization efforts of financial institutions, government initiatives, and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, has paved the way for the widespread adoption of digital solutions aimed at making financial services more accessible, convenient, and efficient for users.

Key catalysts in this transition have been the integration of biometrics and client authentication. These technologies have played a pivotal role in providing customers with instant, highly secure, and personalized financial services, driving the country’s financial sector towards a more inclusive and technologically advanced future.

CHALLENGES

Uniclick, with a strong commitment to improving the financial services sector, identified the significant challenges it encountered in the industry. Their clear goal was to enable SMEs, even in remote areas of Mexico, to access credit facilities – fast and securely. By utilizing the flexibility of digital technology and introducing innovative identity verification solutions, Uniclick aimed to redefine financial accessibility, providing readily available financial products and services, and empowering SMEs nationwide. Their topmost priority remained the safety and security of users’ data, ensuring a trustworthy and seamless experience for all.

To make this vision a reality, Uniclick needed a dependable Fraud Detection and KYB (Know Your Business) solution, which was crucial to effectively combat fraud while also seamlessly integrating with their existing technology.

Uniclick found the perfect match in Incode Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of world-class identity solutions, thanks to the following:

  • Proven Expertise: Incode’s impressive track record with flagship clients showcased their mastery in KYB, making them the obvious choice for the client’s needs.
  • Effective Fraud Prevention: Incode’s solution is based on robust fraud prevention measures, minimizing the risk of fraud for Uniclick and its users.
  • Cultural Fit: Uniclick and Incode shared a cultural fit, aligning their values and visions, making the partnership even more powerful for their respective projects.

SOLUTION

Incode deployed its anti-fraud and KYB-compliant flagship solution for Uniclick, powered by Incode Omni – a fully automated, end-to-end orchestration platform that delivers the highest standard in security, user experience, and regulation. This platform incorporates proprietary AI, ML, and digital onboarding, authentication, and ID verification components.

Seamlessly integrated with Uniclick’s digital platform, the resulting all-inclusive identity verification solution enabled Uniclick to effortlessly identify the true owners and responsible parties associated with loan requests. This streamlined process not only eliminated the need for manual verification but also eradicated instances of fraud.

The importance of KYB compliance for Uniclick cannot be overstated, as these checks ensure the legitimacy of businesses and prevent involvement in terrorist or criminal activities, including money laundering. Failure to conduct KYB checks can expose global enterprises to fraudulent activity and government fines. One common difficulty Uniclick faced was accurately attributing loan requests to the rightful owners and responsible parties, particularly when the requestor might not be the majority owner or the person responsible for the loan. The implementation of Incode Omni, with its KYB-compliant features, provided Uniclick with a robust solution to effectively tackle this challenge, reinforcing their commitment to providing secure and trustworthy financial services.

Greatly Reduced Fraud
Building financial trust was a fundamental aspect of Uniclick’s strategy, and their collaboration with Incode has yielded remarkable results by reducing instances of fraud to 0%. This achievement is particularly noteworthy, given the prevalence of fraud in similar financial products in Mexico. The solution’s utilization of fully automated technologies effectively mitigated potential risks related to human error, solidifying Uniclick’s position as a reliable and innovative financial services provider.
