A register of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) is of utmost importance as an instrument to provide services and be able to distribute benefits including loans to these enterprises. Further it provides accurate statistical information for policy making and donor organizations. The project aims to register over 2 million SME’s in Zimbabwe.

HSB has provided (biometric) registration equipment to Zimbabwe for SME registration. The registration kits include notebook, fingerprint scanner and webcam. General information of the company, its board members and other stakeholders is collected.

Online registration can be done from any office after which a second stage registration on-site is needed to collect the personal biometric information of one or more stakeholders. A deduplication system assures a unique identity for the stakeholder and prevents registration of multiple identities for the same person.

HSB identification has successfully completed the implementation of a nationwide Social Safety Net including a unique identity (UID) management infrastructure for the Republic of Djibouti. The platform will be used to target vulnerable households in a record time.

Social inclusion enables people to take part in society. The global challenge is to accurately and securely identify the beneficiaries. In order to define the households that need attention first and foremost, family members need to be identified and compiled in a national social register.

Following a thorough international tendering procedure, HSB has installed the end-to-end solution including biometric registration equipment, central matching system (ABIS) for deduplication as well as a dedicated Management Information System (MIS). Each household is assigned a poverty score by the system using the Proxy Means Tests (PMT) after a digital door-to-door survey.

This pioneering project is one of the first such programs funded by the World Bank in an effort to help countries promote inclusive growth and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals enacted by the United Nations.

The Government of Djibouti views the platform as a key stepping stone for the country: “Having unique identities in a centralized social register is of utmost importance for social inclusion of our population. We believe that the solution provided by HSB is a great means to connect new social protection schemes in a timely manner.”

“We are proud to be able to contribute to identity programs for social development.” says Marcel Boogaard, CEO of HSB. “Our technology and experience to enroll and maintain unique identities is beneficial to all governments in a need of a secure foundational ID and efficient social safety nets.”

HSB identification B.V., The Netherlands, is a global provider of large-scale digital identification solutions.

The European border control agencies will soon increase the number of passport and visa checks at its outside borders due to new regulations. Also the Netherlands will participate in this pan-European initiative.

Until now travelers with an EU-passport were randomly checked, which could be only visual. The new regulation requires interfaces with national and international detection systems.

HSB has supplied the Border Control Solution which enables Dutch border control agencies to check travel documents to enter the Schengen countries with multiple background checks. This includes biometric verification against the central EU-VIS database. Also the authenticity of travel documents is checked.

Biometrics in Banking

Stakeholders of banking industry, IT, payment and insurance businesses are gathered to discuss and learn how biometrics can optimize customer interaction, operational efficiency and fraud reduction and prevention. There will be a strong focus on sharing use cases based on successful implementations and how to adapt these in the respective countries of the participants.

HSB identification, represented by Ruud ten Hoorn, will focus on The African Perspective for Biometrics and Banking. In Africa some major projects are ongoing in this market, where biometrics do support the process of payments and social benefits, Know Your Customer (KYC) principle and authorization of mobile wallets. Also biometrics in National ID can help to create a trusted payment infrastructure.
