CALGARY, AB, Dec. 5, 2023 - ATB Ventures, the research and innovation arm of ATB Financial, today announced a groundbreaking partnership with PayTrie, a leading platform for secure stablecoin purchasing and selling in Canada. PayTrie has selected Oliu, ATB Ventures' state-of-the-art digital ID verification solution, to streamline customer enrollment and verification processes.
The partnership marks a key milestone as PayTrie becomes the first digital asset platform to integrate Oliu for ID verification. The integration of Oliu enables PayTrie customers to swiftly verify their identities using their existing identity documents, provincial digital IDs, and, uniquely, bank login credentials, in compliance with FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada) identity verification guidelines. This eliminates the traditional hassles associated with lengthy verification processes and ensures a quick, highly secure and hassle-free onboarding and login experience reducing user drop-off rates.
Speaking about the partnership, Azim Esmail, Managing Director of Growth at ATB Ventures, commented: "The collaboration between Oliu and PayTrie is an immensely exciting one, representing a significant leap forward in enhancing security and convenience for investors. By leveraging Oliu's cutting-edge digital ID verification, we aim to redefine the onboarding experience for PayTrie and its customers, ensuring a swift, highly secure, and user-friendly process."
"At PayTrie, we prioritize user experience and security," said Kevin Zhang, Co-Founder at PayTrie. "Partnering with Oliu enables us to further solidify our commitment to offering a seamless and trustworthy platform for cryptocurrency transactions."
Digital identity and verification serve as the cornerstone of Canada's digital economy. Oliu is positioned to play a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of digital trust, offering businesses robust solutions to mitigate digital fraud in Canada which cost Canadians $531 million in 2022.
