MicroBilt Seeks to Reduce Identity Fraud With New Driver's License Scan and Verification Product
MicroBilt Corporation, a leading online provider of credit information, announced today the release and launch of a fraud fighting identity verification product that captures driver's license data on-site. MicroBilt is offering Driver's License Scan through CreditCommander.com. With identity fraud now one the fastest growing crimes in the United States, said to be costing businesses more than $48 billion annually, businesses that do not verify customer identity become the easiest targets. Driver's License Scan through CreditCommander.com is used at the point-of-sale and/or service to validate a customer applicant's driver's license, which ultimately reduces identity fraud exposure. The Driver's License Scan product captures an image of the driver's license and the information contained on the license. This information is automatically populated on the application. After the capture, a Drivers License verification report and/or credit report is initiated. Parameters can also be set to run bankruptcy and criminal reports as well as other industry relevant reports available through CreditCommander.com. The picture of the driver's license is permanently imbedded into the credit report along with any additional reports pulled on the applicant and stored through CreditCommander.com for future reference. The product is designed for industry applications such as identity verification for lenders, tenant screening, pre-employment screening, new account openings at banks, test drive and age verification at car dealers, credit prescreening for retailers, insurance claim verification, fraud prevention and USA Patriot Act regulatory compliance.

These resources automatically validate identity against known matches such as does; the zip code match the state, last name matches the address, Social Security Number matches the first and last name, Social Security Number issue date is within a valid date range, Social Security Number is not listed as deceased, and the option for subject to meet specific age requirements.
