      HAMBURGO, Alemania, 11 de marzo de 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DERMALOG, el líder de innovación en biometría proporciona su tecnología de identificación para contribuir con éxito a la lucha contra el fraude en Nigeria. Recientemente, el gobierno del país situado en el occidente africano ha identificado a más de 23.000 empleados de los servicios públicos que no contaban con un nombre registrado o bien habían estado recibiendo un salario de manera ilegal.

      La campaña contra la corrupción y la mala administración impulsada por el gobierno de Nigeria con el presidente Muhammadu Buhari en mayo de 2015 ha resultado en la eliminación de numerosos trabajos de las nóminas de los servicios públicos.

      De los 312.000 empleados que fueron objeto de una auditoría, 23.306 habían recibido su salario de forma ilegal o ni siquiera existían en el registro. Algunos de ellos recibieron incluso pagos de varias fuentes al mismo tiempo. El 7% del personal auditado del gobierno no existía o recibía un doble salario.

      Estos casos de fraude se detectaron gracias al sistema automático de identificación biométrica (ABIS, por sus siglas en inglés) de los bancos nigerianos, proporcionado por la compañía alemana DERMALOG. En 2014 y 2015 se implementó un sistema de biometría a nivel nacional para 23 bancos nigerianos y para el Banco Central de Nigeria (CBN) a fin de identificar a los clientes de los bancos por medio de sus huellas dactilares y reconocimiento facial antes de que abran o accedan a una cuenta bancaria. Con este sistema, cada cliente recibe un número individual (un número de identificación bancaria o "BVN"). Se han registrado más de 24 millones de clientes de bancos hasta la fecha, además de que ahora sus cuentas están aseguradas con la innovadora biometría de DERMALOG.

      Además de estos logros, el sistema BVN ha ayudado a encontrar y eliminar los 23.306 cargos públicos que no existían. Esto permite que el país pueda ahorrar cada mes 10,5 millones de euros y contribuye de manera sostenible a un desarrollo positivo de Nigeria.

      Acerca de DERMALOG:

      DERMALOG Identification Systems GmbH, cuya sede se encuentra en Hamburgo, es el mayor fabricante alemán de productos biométricos y es conocido como el líder en innovación biométrica.

      Su equipo de científicos trabaja constantemente en los "sistemas automáticos de identificación biométrica" (ABIS y AFIS), entre los que se incluyen desde los últimos escáneres de huellas dactilares hasta sistemas de control fronterizo biométrico, tarjetas biométricas y otros documentos de identidad biométricos. "FingerLogin", "FingerPayment" y "FingerBanking" son también soluciones de DERMALOG, así como la identificación automática de rostro e iris.

      Además del mercado alemán y el europeo, los principales mercados de DERMALOG se encuentran en Asia, África, Latinoamérica y Medio Oriente. La empresa ha proporcionado su tecnología y sus soluciones a más de 140 organismos gubernamentales en 75 países.

      DERMALOG ofrece también soluciones biométricas para bancos y fabricantes de cajeros automáticos. El mayor proyecto de biométrica bancaria del mundo (USD$50 millones) integró a 23 bancos y el Banco Central de Nigeria mediante el sistema ABIS de DERMALOG, con el que evitar las identidades duplicadas para los clientes de los bancos y garantizar los mejores procesos de tipo KYC (conoce a tu cliente). Numerosos cajeros automáticos de todo el mundo están equipados con la tecnología de huellas dactilares de DERMALOG, que reemplaza a los inseguros PIN.
