Abstract
An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores biometric data obtained from an account holder at a first location and identification information provided by the account holder that was used to open an existing account at the first location. The processor receives, from a device, data corresponding to an applicant that includes biometric data obtained from the applicant at a second location and identification information provided by the applicant at the second location. The applicant is requesting to open a new account using the identification information at the second location. In response to receiving the applicant's data, the processor determines that the applicant's biometric data matches the account holder's biometric data. The processor also determines that the applicant's identification information does not match the account holder's identification information. In response, the processor transmits an alert to the device indicating that the applicant's identity could not be verified.
