How can banks secure account recovery and password resets?

With Vouched Assure, customers re-prove their identity with a live selfie matched to the identity they enrolled with, instead of a help desk call or a code sent to a phone they may have lost. Help desk resets are the most socially engineered route into an account.

How does Vouched protect wires and other high-risk transactions?

Vouched Assure adds a biometric step-up at the moments your rules flag, such as a wire to a new payee or a change to contact or bank details. One-time codes can be intercepted through SIM swaps; a live selfie matched to the enrolled customer can’t.

Does Vouched support mobile driver’s licenses?

Yes. Vouched checks a digital ID such as a mobile driver’s license first, and falls back to a government-issued ID when there isn’t one, always matched to a live selfie. Oriental Bank is exploring mobile IDs, as Puerto Rico leads in mobile identity adoption.

Does Vouched work for credit unions?

Yes. Credit unions use Vouched for member onboarding, recovery and step-up, alongside banks and fintechs.
