Tecalis, the most complete alternative to Alice Biometrics

Tecalis is positioned as a comprehensive digital identification solution that prioritizes flexibility and customization. Its platform offers document verification, facial recognition, electronic signature, fraud detection and real-time monitoring. Tecalis goes further by integrating capabilities such as advanced biometric validation and adaptation to industry-specific regulations. Its modular approach allows customizing processes for fintech, banking, insurance, telco, utilities, mobility and other sectors, ensuring a balance between security and user experience.

Alice Biometrics is known for its direct focus solely on eKYC and biometrics. Its system uses real-time selfies (just like Tecalis) and document validation as pillars of the user experience. Alice specializes in sectors such as fintech and banking, offering essential functionalities such as fraud detection and monitoring. However, its solution focuses on more structured and limited processes, which may reduce customization for industries with unique requirements.

Both platforms are robust and effective solutions for digital onboarding needs. Tecalis, however, stands out for its more holistic and adaptable approach, encompassing both the key functionalities present in Alice Biometrics and additional innovations. Companies looking for customizable solutions, with support for multiple industries and seamless integration into different regulatory frameworks and process types, will find in Tecalis an option that not only matches, but often exceeds, the capabilities of Alice Biometrics.

KYB is the acronym for the Know Your Customer process, which consists of confirming that a user who is going to become a customer, employee, supplier, etc. is who he/she claims to be. To do this, a series of questions (KYC Form), anti-fraud controls and documentation and data checks are performed automatically and digitally to enable the registration or purchase operation. It is mandatory in many industries.

KYB is the Know Your Business process: it consists of carrying out a series of controls and checks that must be performed before starting to work with another business, partner, client-company (B2B) or partner. This model automates all the processes carried out in Due Diligence.

Absolutely, Tecalis recommends merging the signature process with the KYC/KYB process. By doing this and Tecalis acting as a unified platform and process, we obtain a double benefit: the greatest possible regulatory support by integrating everything in the same audit trail and the best user experience avoiding abandonment and friction in the process of registering a new user.

Schedule a meeting with a Tecalis expert and we will analyze your activity to propose a solution 100% adapted in price and operational functionalities.

In the vast majority of markets and regions companies are required to perform these controls and use RegTech trust services provided by QTSPs in order to operate. Standards such as AML6, eIDAS 2 or PSD3 in addition to the requirements imposed by regulators such as SEPBLAC, OFAC or other counterpart bodies demand to perform these Due Diligence procedures on the users you work with. 

In addition, having these systems in place will allow you to operate easily, without large investments and without a presence in +500M markets such as Europe by simply integrating agile and affordable technologies into your digital onboarding processes. On the other hand, you will mitigate any risk and fraud attempts before they occur and increase productivity and streamline the work of previously inefficient or costly teams.

These tools are technology platforms designed to automate identity verification and regulatory compliance. They use advanced technologies such as optical character recognition (OCR) and computer vision to extract and validate information from identity documents or directly from the web and generate reports. They incorporate biometrics, such as facial recognition, to compare document images with selfies in real time, ensuring that the user is who they say they are.

In addition, they integrate data analysis and machine learning to assess the risk of customers and companies, identifying suspicious patterns and anomalies. These tools connect to global databases and public registries to verify the legal existence of companies, clients and the authenticity of documents presented or connect with banks, among many other functionalities and options.
