Here\u2019s a quick look at how biometric identification is being used in a few areas of the world:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Canada<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Canadian startup Securekey Technologies Inc. launched a verified biometric identification system (Verified.Me) in 2017. Thanks to this system, Canadians can now access banking services, view medical records, insure themselves, buy household appliances and use government services without leaving their homes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Estonia <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Estonia was an early adopter of remote identification systems, with the first appearing in 2002. In 2017, the Smart-ID appeared in the country, allowing users to access internet banking, insurance, state and commercial services, retirement accounts, health services and educational platforms via a mobile application.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Australia<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 the development of the Govpass system began in the mid-2010s, resulting in users being able to authenticate on the website of government organizations and enterprises after pre-registering.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>New Zealand<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 New Zealand created the digital platform RealMe, which allows citizens to access data from medical records to drivers\u2019 licenses after registering in the system. The country also created a special monitoring agency to ensure all such data is protected.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-14542 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Will online cash registry crash Russian small businesses?'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/will-online-cash-registry-crash-russian-small-businesses\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Will-online-cash-registry-crash-Russian-small-businesses-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-6869\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Will-online-cash-registry-crash-Russian-small-businesses-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Will-online-cash-registry-crash-Russian-small-businesses-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-6869'>\n\t\t\t\tWill online cash registry crash Russian small businesses?\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Digital payment solutions: from possible future to inevitability'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/digital-payment-solutions-from-possible-future-to-inevitability\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bd3e6dd0-e18a-4502-8ffd-b0708100fb811-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-15256\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-15256'>\n\t\t\t\tDigital payment solutions: from possible future to inevitability\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='The human cost of artificial intelligence'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/the-human-cost-of-artificial-intelligence\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/p7-Sawa-a-20160924-870x606-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-8035\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-8035'>\n\t\t\t\tThe human cost of artificial intelligence\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biometric identification has finally advanced to the point where it is starting to radically change the way we interact with the world, making life more convenient for users and helping businesses reduce costs, shorten customer service time, increase security, optimize business processes and, ultimately, increase profits.
