TORONTO, March 21, 2023 – Paays Financial Technologies (“Paays”), a leading provider of FinTech for Auto Finance solutions, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Axis Auto Finance (“Axis”), a leading provider of automotive financing in Canada. This partnership will focus on Axis using the ID Verifier by Paays identity verification (IDV) solution to enhance Axis’s customer journeys and reduce the incidence of identity fraud occurring in auto finance applications.
The automotive financing industry is experiencing a rapid shift towards digitalization, with a growing number of consumers preferring to conduct their business online. However, as the industry moves towards digital channels, the risk of fraud has also increased. IDV Verifier by Paays is designed to help mitigate this risk by providing an easy and secure way to verify the identities of customers.
By partnering with Paays, Axis can significantly improve the onboarding process for new customers and reduce friction in the auto finance application process. This reduces the time and resources required for manual identity verification processes, while also improving the customer experience by providing a more convenient and efficient onboarding process.
“Whether the customer is engaging with Axis directly, or through one of our trusted dealer partners, we know that they have a strong desire for more of the auto finance process to happen digitally”, said Axis President Ilja Troitschanski. “Axis is at the leading edge of delivering better digital finance solutions to customers and dealers in Canada, and by partnering with Paays and implementing their ID Verifier solution into both our direct and indirect channels, we can provide smoother and safer digital experiences for both customers and dealers alike.”
ID Verifier by Paays uses advanced artificial intelligence (AI), biometrics and optical character recognition (OCR) technologies to analyze and verify the authenticity of identity documents, providing a reliable and secure way to ensure that customers are who they claim to be. This helps to protect Axis and its customers from fraudulent activities, ultimately improving the overall security of the financing process.
The partnership between Paays and Axis brings together two companies with a shared vision on improving customer journeys with smoother digital processes combined with modern FinTech and anti-fraud technologies. “We’re very excited to partner with Axis”, said David Fry, Founder and CEO of Paays. “This a significant step towards the digitalization of the automotive financing process in Canada. By leveraging the ID Verifier by Paays solution, Axis will be able to create a better and smoother digital customer journey while also reducing the risk of fraud. We are excited to be working with Axis Auto Finance and look forward to the positive impact that this partnership will have on the industry as a whole.”
