Cross Match provides a variety of biometric security solutions for banks and investment firms. Currently we have over 100 financial institutions using our Cross Match products, solutions and services for background checking employees. With increasing legislation mandating accurate identification of employees and customers, financial firms are investing in biometric technology to enhance security. Cross Match offers 10-print livescan fingerprint systems that provide quick and accurate electronic background checks on employees. We also offer biometric solutions for physical access control and visitor management.

	“We are one of the first banks to begin to do FBI background checks as part of the pre-employment screening process. As a Federal contractor, we are required by federal law to verify that our employees have not been convicted of any crime involving breaches of trust or dishonest acts, so we routinely conduct background checks.   We’ve heard of instances where crime rings will seek to place one of their members in a bank on a temporary basis knowing that the traditional background checks will take some time, giving them a short period in which to conduct fraud.  The Cross Match livescan system, with its rapid turn around  capability, eliminates that opportunity.” Mark Schmidt, senior vice president of human resources Union Bank

Regulations require financial institutions to conduct background checks to help avoid hiring an individual convicted of a dishonest act. The American Bankers Association (ABA), the Clearing House and the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) serve as channeling agencies to the FBI for banks and brokerage firms to process fingerprints electronically. Results are returned within a few minutes, hours or days depending on the channeling agency. Financial firms used to have to wait 4-8 weeks for national fingerprint background checks, or settle for database or local checks, which are not as complete.

Cross Match Technologies is helping banks and brokerage firms by providing FBI-approved fingerprint scanning products, such as our ID 500, and channeling agency integration. In addition, our Access Control Solutions and VisTrak visitor management solutions can also enhance over all bank security.
