Qoobiss is changing the game in Romania by becoming the first e-KYC (electronic Know Your Customer) solution to offer remote identity validation via video for the new identity cards with chips. This update makes it easier and more secure for Romanian citizens to verify their identity online, no matter where they live.
Starting this year, everyone has the option to go for these electronic ID cards that look just like a bank card but have a chip loaded with personal details like name, photo, birth date, and even digital fingerprints.
Why It Matters
- Tougher on Fraud: The advanced tech in these chips makes it really hard for anyone to fake or mess with these IDs, cutting down the risk of fraud and identity theft.
- Privacy on Lock: Thanks to top-notch encryption, your personal info stored on the chip is secure.
- More Customers Coming Your Way: With e-KYC making identity verification smooth and secure, companies can expect to see a rise in customer numbers.
Right now, about 35% of Romanian companies are using e-KYC solutions. With the digital wave hitting businesses and online services becoming the norm, the demand for remote identity verification is expected to soar. Qoobiss is betting on this trend, predicting a revenue double-up in 2024.
They’re also planning to pour €500,000 into improving their services, launching new ones, and eyeing markets beyond Romania. Last year, they wrapped up with 30 clients, and they’re looking to double that number by the end of 2024.
