VaultID Group Ltd and Island Dream Money; joint venture now offers Remittance transfers to Timor-Leste unbanked population through a new paradigm in eKYC
MELBOURNE, Australia, 29 Oct, 2019/Medianet International-AsiaNet / --

VaultID Group Ltd creates a financial and digital footprint for the "unbanked". 
VaultID's application 'myVault' enables the onboarding of potential consumers 
through a mix of traditional KYC/AML systems, enhanced with biometric image to 
document scanning and in-government official witness attestation (People who do 
not qualify due to lack of identification, will now be able to access financial 
products through VaultID's eKYC verification process.)

Island Dream Money in conjunction with MoneyGram, provide safe money transfer 
products to over 200 countries. Island Dream Money holds the exclusive license 
with MoneyGram to service Timor-Leste and the rest of the world with money 
transfer services.

Approximately one third of the Timor-Leste population, currently excluded from 
participation due to lack of identification; can now be onboarded (eKYC'd) to 
allow seamless, verification remittance transfers. This will be powered by 
VaultID's "myVault" biometric and witness attestation verification products; 
which includes facial matching and optical character recognition biometrics. 

* VaultID is an Australian based eKYC FinTech specializing in onboarding the 
unbanked
* VaultID launched its 'myVault' - Consumer Personal Verification wallet for 
Timor-Leste 
* VaultID's 'myVault' supporting the Island Dreams / MoneyGram Remittance 
Transfer Business 

Adrian Somanader, CEO of Island Dream Money states, "Remittances are 
Timor-Leste's largest source of foreign revenue after oil and aid with more 
than USD 40 million remitted to Timor-Leste in 2017 and made up of over 85,000 
individual payments. This is a fast-growing market from which one third of the 
population are excluded due to the inability of consumers to verify themselves. 
Integrating 'myVault' extends our coverage and capacity, allowing participation 
to the greater Timor-Leste population." 

Jason Edwards, CEO of VaultID Group Ltd, states, "Through 'myVault' we have 
extended traditional KYC to a new eKYC offering which includes Self-Sovereign 
Identity; the consumer has control, sole ownership and management of their 
digital identity as well as how their data is stored, shared or used for 
verification. To this end, we have added Witness attestation verification 
options by government approved local administrative staff. With accurate 
consumer details, official attestation, Bio Metric matching and traditional 
documentation, myVault is a new paradigm in APAC consumer onboarding for 
financial service providers."
