The PVID framework: a standard for secure identity verification

Designed to meet the challenges of digital security, this framework strengthens the fight against identity fraud.

5 key benefits of PVID certification

1. Fast and secure onboarding

PVID certification enables fast and secure customer onboarding. Our KYC solution protects the integrity of your users’ data and identity.

Our all-in-one solution combines:

2. Centralised management

For businesses with multiple accounts, centralised banking integration ensures optimised management:

KYB (Know Your Business) checks verify the identity of each partner before transactions, ensuring safe and reliable exchanges.

3. Enhanced security

Effectively prevent identity fraud using advanced verification technologies:

OCR (Optical Character Recognition): for accurate analysis of ID documents
Anti-fraud algorithms: detect inconsistencies, anomalies, and forgery attempts
Facial recognition: reliable biometric verification of the user against their official document
Human validation: manual checks reinforce the accuracy of automated verifications

4. Regulatory compliance

Ensure full compliance with all relevant regulations, particularly ANSSI standards, European and national AML/CFT (Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing) laws, and ACPR requirements.

ACPR guidelines may include:

Using services certified by ANSSI or accredited bodies, ensuring reliable identity proof verification
Qualified electronic signatures (QES) issued by trusted service providers recognised by ANSSI, securing digital exchanges

PVID also supports advanced technologies like biometrics and videoconferencing, enabling even more secure and innovative identity verification methods. These features ensure compliance with both eIDAS and French regulations.

FAQ: PVID

PVID vs. QES – What’s the difference?

PVID enables secure remote user identification.
QES (Qualified Electronic Signature) authenticates an electronic signature with the same legal value as a handwritten one.

Why and how to use a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES)?

QES ensures the authenticity and integrity of documents, especially for sensitive transactions.
It is based on prior user identification, often certified via PVID.
With our solution, you benefit from a secure, user-friendly, and fully compliant QES in line with European legal standards.
