Security Features and Processes
3 HIGH RESOLUTION CAMERAS
A remote attendant verifies and approves every transaction through the cameras in real-time. The cameras also capture multiple images of sellers.
NIST* COMPLIANT BIO-METRIC DEVICE
Where required by law, we equip our kiosks with NIST compliant bio metric devices to capture a valid thumbprint. The thumbprint is included on each transaction report we provide to law enforcement.
DEVICE SECURITY CHECK
The serial numbers of valuable devices are collected and verified through the service CheckMEND** to confirm a device hasn’t been reported lost or stolen in that database.
STATE OF THE ART ID VALIDATOR
A valid government issued ID is required for every transaction. Photos of the actual ID are captured and added to every transaction report.
WATCH LIST
The list is tailored to law enforcement needs and can include customer bans and flags of customers and/or devices.
*The National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST, is a non-regulatory federal agency that is responsible for developing information security standards and guidelines, including minimum requirements for federal information systems.
**CheckMEND is the US’s largest source of mobile device history, compiling data from the FBI, insurers, carriers, and retailers as close to real-time as possible. Learn more at CheckMEND.com.
