With WebID Video Ident, customers can identify themselves in three easy steps. The process begins on the website of the provider, such as the bank, carsharing provider, insurance company amongst others.

  1. The user is directed to WebID during the checkout process of the provider.
  2. They begin the video call and connect to a WebID agent in the company’s high-security Video Service Center, where certified and trained video agents complete the identifications.
  3. If the identification is successful, the user receives a TAN, which completes the process. If fraud is suspected, the agent rejects the user and informs the provider.

Different options for integration are possible, depending on the technical environment and specific processes involved.
