Cloud-based authentication infrastructure
HID Approve helps to reduce complexity with standards-based, scalable solutions covering the entire authentication journey
Baiduri Bank realised an opportunity to undertake a digital transformation to help ensure the delivery of a smooth customer experience, which entailed updating its digital banking software to build upon a cloud-based authentication infrastructure.
Baiduri Bank integrated HID Approve powered by the Authentication Platform across its consumer and corporate banking platforms. Offering a single trusted authentication source for customer identity, HID Approve helps to reduce complexity with standards-based, scalable solutions covering the entire authentication journey.
