Case Study: bkynd builds trust and safety for volunteer shopping support with iProov

iProov supports bkynd in fight against coronavirus with biometrics for safeguarding

bkynd is a non-profit online community created to connect volunteers with people who need help shopping during the coronavirus pandemic. To make this safer and more trustworthy, bkynd worked with iProov and its biometric authentication and Genuine Presence Assurance technology to verify the identities of participants joining the platform.

With iProov’s support, bkynd launched its Early Adopter Programme within weeks, enabling a secure way to match people in isolation with local volunteers while strengthening trust, safety, and secure payments. The solution helped bkynd move quickly from concept to live service during COVID-19, though no specific numeric performance metrics were provided.
