Louisville, KY- (05/28/2014) E-cigarette
business, Nitro Vapes, has partnered with Electronic
Verification Systems (EVS) to help verify and authenticate individuals
through age
verification and dynamic KBA questions. The goal is to verify the individual is
of legal age before being allowed to purchase products.This will be done
by using IdentiFraud Consumer to verify the billing and
shipping address (if different) matches the individual.
Companies
dealing with age-restricted products, be it tobacco related, alcohol, etc., need
to perform age verification. The laws around what constitutes as age
verification arent exactly clearly defined, but many companies, such as Nitro
Vapes know the laws will be more defined and more regulation will be coming
where simply entering a date of birth on a website wont be considered enough
of a road block to prevent underage use.
According to EVS Vice President of Client Services,
Eric Knapp, Many
times, especially in the age restricted industries, companies only want to do
bare minimum to prevent fraudulent and/or underage access; but thats not the
case with Nitro Vapes. Knapp states that, Mr. James Stevenson really wants to
ensure someone under age cannot purchase products and by verifying the shipping
address, and making use of KBA questions, really makes it virtually impossible
for a minor to even get access to the products.It has been great getting
to know Mr. Stevenson, and we are all looking forward to having him as a client
for the long-timer.
EVS proudly calls Nitro Vapes a partner as of April
2014, and will continue to serve as a resource and industry expert. By implementing IdentiFraud
Consumer and other products offered by EVS, companies in the age restricted
industry can rest assured that no one under age will have access. By
incorporating the Dynamic KBA capability, it stops an underage teen from using
a parents information, as they wont be able to answer the questions.Just
because the regulation may not yet require the use of products such as
IdentiFraud Consumer, the industry at a minimum, should still follow the same
standards in the card-not-present environment as they do in the card present. says Knapp.
