Background of the Experience Sessions

Due to the Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds (hereinafter "Anti-Money Laundering Act") effective April 2027, identity verification for in-person transactions will mandate the use of identification documents with IC chips and the reading of IC chip information.

In response to these regulatory changes, many businesses are considering how to comply and are in the process of selecting equipment. However, we have also received numerous requests such as "We don't understand the actual operational image" and "We want to confirm the user experience before implementation."

Therefore, we will be holding "In-Person IC Authentication Experience Sessions" where you can actually experience the IC authentication function of "ProTech ID Checker." Participants can experience the entire process from reading IC chips to identity verification, and individual consultations with specialized staff will also be provided to address concerns regarding compliance with legal amendments and implementation.

<Recommended for the following individuals>

Individuals who want to organize operational methods for in-person identity verification

Those in charge who want to proceed with compliance for the Anti-Money Laundering Act amendments

Businesses considering and evaluating identity verification through IC chip reading

Individuals working on operational improvements and cost reductions through DX promotion
