Co-hosting an Online Seminar for Financial Institutions on June 10 (Wed): 'How Will Over-the-Counter Identity Verification Change? Measures for Mandatory IC Authentication'

Spiral Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO: Nobuaki Saya), a leader in digital future optimization, will co-host an online seminar for financial institutions and businesses titled 'How Will Over-the-Counter Identity Verification Change? Measures for Mandatory IC Authentication' with Showcase Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Koichi Matsumoto) on June 10, 2026. This seminar will cover the latest requirements for face-to-face identity verification based on the revised Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds and specific workflows for counters. Against the backdrop of increasingly sophisticated counterfeit documents and strengthened anti-money laundering measures, financial institutions are required to upgrade their identity verification processes. In particular, following the revision of the Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds scheduled to take effect on April 1, 2027, there is a shift from traditional visual verification to more rigorous methods, such as utilizing IC chip information. Spiral has supported over 200 financial institutions by developing flexible and speedy web applications based on its core low-code platform, 'SPIRAL.' Meanwhile, Showcase promotes the DX of identity verification procedures compliant with the Act through its tool, 'ProTech ID Checker.' The seminar will explain the latest requirements and practical operational know-how to balance administrative efficiency with strict security.
