Frequently asked questions

I have seen some services that cost less than yours. Why is Patronscan more expensive?
  • Comprehensive Solution: Patronscan offers a wide range of identity verification services, including Passport Verification, SSN Validation, Biometric Authentication, KBA, Credit Bureau Verification, eIDV, Name and Address Lookup, AAMVA Lookup, Background Checks, and AML Watchlists. Our comprehensive approach provides multiple layers of security and verification, ensuring thorough protection against fraud. Cheaper alternatives may offer only a subset of these services, which may not provide the same level of security.
  • Accuracy and Reliability: We prioritize accuracy and reliability in our services. Our systems are continually updated and refined to ensure precise identity verification. Cheap alternatives might cut corners on data sources or software quality, which can lead to higher error rates and false positives or negatives, ultimately costing you more in the long run.
  • Compliance: Financial institutions face stringent regulatory requirements for identity verification to prevent fraud and maintain legal compliance. Patronscan invests heavily in compliance measures to ensure our services meet these requirements. Cheaper alternatives may not adhere to the same standards, putting your institution at risk of non-compliance penalties.
  • Customer Support: We pride ourselves on providing exceptional customer support. Our team is readily available to assist you with any questions or issues, ensuring a smooth and trouble-free experience. Some lower-cost providers may offer limited or non-existent customer support, leaving you without the assistance you may need.
  • Scalability and Customization: Patronscan's solutions are scalable and customizable to fit the specific needs of your institution. We work closely with our clients to tailor our services, which may not be an option with cheaper, one-size-fits-all alternatives.
  • Enhanced Security: Our robust security measures protect your data and the identity of your customers. We invest in the latest encryption technologies and security protocols to safeguard sensitive information. Lower-cost services may not provide the same level of security, potentially exposing your institution to data breaches and associated costs.
  • Long-Term Cost Savings: While the upfront cost of some alternatives may be lower, it's essential to consider the long-term cost-effectiveness. Patronscan's comprehensive and accurate solutions can help prevent fraud and reduce financial risks, ultimately saving your institution money by avoiding costly fraud incidents.
In summary, while there may be cheaper alternatives available, Patronscan's higher cost is justified by the comprehensive, accurate, and compliant identity verification services we offer, along with the long-term benefits of enhanced security and customer support. We believe in providing the best value for your investment in protecting your institution and your customer.
Are fake IDs truly a widespread problem?

Absolutely. The sophistication of fake IDs poses significant challenges in the contemporary nightlife industry. According to the DSA (ID Security Association), a staggering 9 million new fake IDs make their way into North America annually. Even more concerning, a whopping 59% of minors aged 15-20 readily confess to possessing advanced fake IDs. This underscores the pressing need for effective solutions to tackle this widespread issue.

Is Patronscan as efficient as a human doorman?
It's not a matter of one or the other; Patronscan is designed to complement and enhance the capabilities of your doorman. Human doormen, no matter how skilled, have limitations. They can't possibly memorize the intricate details of the 4,800 unique government-issued IDs from around the world with absolute accuracy. Moreover, human doormen may have their moments of fatigue. It's crucial to remember that your business only thrives when patrons enter your establishment. Patronscan doesn't replace your doorman; it empowers them. With Patronscan and a doorman working in tandem, you get the best of both worlds. Patronscan can process up to 800 patrons per hour per device, with a rapid 3-5-second scan time, ensuring both speed and quality in the entry process.
Will Patronscan slow down my operations?

Absolutely not. In fact, Patronscan is designed to enhance and streamline your operations, ensuring quicker and hassle-free processing. Our technology is finely tuned to accelerate your business, not hinder it. With rapid scanning and real-time data management, you'll experience increased efficiency and a smoother workflow, allowing your team to focus on delivering the best possible experience to your patrons without delays or bottlenecks. Whether it's checking IDs, managing guest lists, or maintaining security, Patronscan is your trusted partner for optimizing your operations, making them more efficient and effective than ever.

 

How does Patronscan ensure the protection of my business and patrons while maintaining strict compliance with privacy regulations?

Patronscan prioritizes privacy and security. We don't permanently store personal data on our devices. Our systems are protected by firewalls and secure protocols, like SSH. Data is stored on privacy-compliant servers with limited access. We comply with North American regulations and work closely with privacy offices. We collect only necessary information, and unless a patron is involved in a crime, their data isn't retained for long. We employ encryption and protective measures to ensure privacy and security.

In a nutshell, Patronscan ensures a secure, profitable, and drama-free nightlife experience. With top-tier security and lightning-speed performance, we're here to elevate your business.

Note: In the fast-paced world of nightlife, trust is your currency. With Patronscan, your future is secure, lively, and prosperous.
