Artificial Intelligence Safeguarding the Country’s Pension Fund

Biometric.Vision has implemented an identity verification technology suite for the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund (UAPF). Users can now register and verify their identity online from a smartphone or computer, with no office visit.

The solution combines three tools:

- Liveness Detection — verifies that a real person is in front of the camera, not an image or video.
- Document Recognition — automatically processes identity document data.
- Face2Face Detection — compares a selfie with the photo in the ID, preventing substitution.

Identity Verification Technology and the Global Trend

Government and financial institutions around the world are moving to identity verification technologies. BiometricUpdate reports that regulated organizations worldwide are deploying KYC (Know Your Customer) and eKYC solutions at speed, in order to:

• improve customer convenience;
• reduce the costs of traditional verification;
• comply with international security and privacy standards;
• combat fraud and cyber threats.

“Serving the UAPF is a great honor and responsibility. It is one of the most significant quasi-state institutions, and we are proud that our product meets the highest requirements for security and reliability”

emphasized Biometric.Vision CEO Alibek Narimbay.

The Role of Facial Recognition Technologies in Kazakhstan

For Kazakhstan, bringing facial recognition and digital onboarding to the UAPF means:

• greater citizen trust in online services;
• a step toward full digitalization of quasi-state services;
• compliance with the personal data protection law (all Biometric.Vision servers are located in Kazakhstan).

Conclusions: Benefits for the State and Clients

Biometric.Vision solutions deliver:

• fast and convenient access to UAPF services;
• compliance with international standards (NIST, ISO/IEC, GDPR);
• reduced fraud risks thanks to dual-face comparison and age verification technology;
• development of domestic identity verification technologies with export potential.

Having started as a startup in 2018, Biometric.Vision is now a mature technology partner deploying KYC toolkits for banks, government bodies, sharing-economy projects, and other domains requiring identity verification. The UAPF project demonstrates that the company is keeping pace with global digital transformation trends and is becoming a development hub thanks to solutions at the intersection of artificial intelligence and biometrics.
