The current banking system does not suffice remote operations, which has become a basic necessity for maintaining social distancing.

• Blockchain Digital Identity for Banks:

Right from opening a savings account or long-term deposit account to applying for a loan, identity verification of the consumer is primary to all banking operations. The existing banking system might work online but it is still dependent on manual documentation and there is a major lack of automation.

This might work in a normal scenario, but in situations like the present where human interaction can cause one to contract the COVID-19 virus, the legacy systems become highly inefficient. The first roadblock comes in with verification of consumer identity, which cannot be done remotely while upholding the absolute security of the data.

A blockchain-backed digital identity verification platform when integrated with the banking system takes care of the problem and executes the tasks efficiently.

It makes it easier and safer for the banks to conduct remote verifications and KYC processes, accelerating the onboarding process. The privacy-based blockchain architecture ensures that the consumer has total control over their data. The use of blockchain augments security and allows the bank to offer unhindered service to the customers even in a lockdown situation.
