Morpho and Airtel Partnering for eKYC Proof of Concept in India
December 2015 by Marc Jacob
Morpho (Safran) has been chosen by India’s telecom operator Airtel to become its key partner in an electronic know your customer (eKYC) program in Uttar Pradesh. Through digital on-boarding of subscribers, the proof of concept (POC) with Airtel will avoid fraud whilst at the same time implement a cost-effective, flexible and environmentally friendly solution.
Airtel India is the leading mobile network operator (MNO) in India and has the country’s largest subscriber base of 228 million end users. Airtel selected Morpho to develop a new, digitally-based subscriber on-boarding process and meet increasing demand for data reliability. Using the secure, well-established Indian ID system Aadhaar, Morpho’s eKYC solution provides Airtel with innovative technologies and services to enable one of the first paperless ID experiences performed in India for an MNO.
The Airtel POC initiative to launch registration is being carried out at various retail points in Lucknow, the capital city of the state of Uttar Pradesh. Morpho’s managed services, which are supported by fully integrated MorphoTablets™ as the single user interface, include the front- and back-end applications. End users benefit from greater convenience, avoiding the need to provide multiple kinds of papers and enabling a quicker activation of the subscription.
