U2opia Mobile powers USSD based Aadhar authentication

U2opia Mobile, a pioneer and innovator in mobile technology, announces the launch of a USSD based platform for demographic authentication using Aadhar based on UIDAI. Through this, U2opia Mobile will help the Government in bringing this initiative to every phone, country wide.
With the growth in Aadhar adoption and government working towards making Aadhar mandatory for Indian citizens, U2opia Mobile will enable the ease and speed of authentication required for maintaining safety and privacy within the system. Indian Govt has now made Aadhar mandatory for nearly all its distribution and its benefit schemes across the country by linking it with Banks, NGOs and other govt depts. U2opia Mobile’s solution being a USSD based platform has a country wide reach and makes it accessible to all mobile users. There is no breach of data security as there is no data being stored anywhere across the platform. Using USSD based authentication, anyone can use demographic based Aadhar Authentication as UIDAI will approve the details only if it matches the information as per their record. Users will have to enter their Aadhar Number along with their Name, Address and DOB on the platform. The platform will then verify the information using UADAI’s APIs.
‘’USSD continues to be a powerful agent to bridge the digital divide. Aadhar authentication without internet is yet another simple example of the versatility and practicality of our Fonetwish platform’’ added Mr. Sumesh Menon, Co-Founder and CEO, U2opia Mobile.
A few use cases:
Indian govt has made it mandatory for everyone to link Aadhar with their bank account. Banks can ask users to do so by dialing a USSD code on their mobile phones.
User can check the validity of any service provider’s aadhar card (including their house help, drivers etc).
For the welfare distribution schemes, the distributors can now verify the people claiming the discounts/offers by asking them to verify their Aadhar by dialing a short code from their mobile phone.
U2opia Mobile is working along with corporates like Banks, Insurance, Service providers on solving for their specific industry needs.
