A Trust-Based Authentication Environment for Baemin, Built by ARGOS X Woowa Brothers
Woowa Brothers has upgraded the AML and CDD/EDD verification framework within Baemin by adopting ARGOS Identity’s eKYC and OCR-based identity verification solution. This case highlights how an accurate and efficient financial authentication infrastructure can be built even in a fully online environment.
Choosing to Advance Online Identity Verification
A Trust-Based Authentication Environment for Baemin, Built by ARGOS X Woowa Brothers
Today, we introduce a case in which Woowa Brothers enhanced the AML and KYC verification framework across its platform services by implementing ARGOS Identity’s eKYC solution.
This collaboration goes beyond the simple supply of an authentication solution. It is a representative example of designing platform trust through technology.
New Challenges Facing Platform Financial Services: Advancing Authentication Systems
As financial regulations related to anti money laundering (AML) continue to tighten, platform-based financial services are facing clearer and heavier responsibilities around know-your-customer (KYC) compliance. In particular, in environments where Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) must be applied differently depending on transaction risk, securing both authentication accuracy and processing efficiency has become a critical challenge for platform operators.
Traditional authentication methods centered on manual verification have shown clear limitations: slow processing speeds, high operational burdens, and a greater likelihood of errors in Online environments.
Authentication is no longer a simple procedural step it has become a core infrastructure element directly tied to service trust.
Why Technology-Driven Online Identity Verification Is Essential
While strengthened AML regulations are a necessary evolution, authentication frameworks designed solely for regulatory compliance can negatively impact user experience. Platform financial services must simultaneously meet the following requirements:
Flexible authentication policies based on transaction risk
Accurate identity verification in online environments
Fast authentication speeds that do not undermine internal operational efficiency
Meeting all of these conditions requires a technology-driven authentication system that goes beyond basic regulatory compliance.
Why Woowa Brothers Chose ARGOS
Baemin operates a structured process that differentiates between CDD and EDD based on transaction risk within its platform financial services.
To further refine this authentication flow, Woowa Brothers determined that a solution was needed one that could deliver high verification accuracy, fast processing speeds, and stability in online environments.
The solution they chose was ARGOS’s AI-based eKYC and OCR identity verification technology.
eKYC and OCR-Based Authentication Applied to Baemin Services
ARGOS implemented its eKYC and OCR technologies within the authentication process for Baemin’s in-app financial services.
When users attempt to top up Baemin Pay Money via the Baemin app (bottom menu > My Baemin > Baemin Pay > Baemin Pay Money), they encounter the AML verification process. Through this flow, the system improves the accuracy of ID information recognition, shortens verification processing times, and establishes a stable CDD/EDD framework suitable for online environments.
In particular, the system is designed to flexibly apply authentication steps based on transaction risk enabling enhanced verification for high-risk transactions while maintaining efficient verification for standard transactions.
As a result, the operational burden of manual verification has been reduced, while overall platform operational efficiency has improved.
Authentication Is Not Just Security : It’s an Experience
ARGOS’s authentication solution is built on high accuracy, fast processing, and step-based verification design, strengthening security without compromising user experience.
This reflects Woowa Brothers’ strategic perspective: viewing authentication not merely as a security mechanism, but as an integral part of the user experience that underpins platform trust.
A Trust-Based Financial Authentication Infrastructure Built by ARGOS
By delivering authentication designs optimized for AML and KYC regulatory environments, balancing operational efficiency with user experience, and implementing technology that works in real service environments, ARGOS has built a trust-based authentication infrastructure tailored to platform services.
Building on this solution supply agreement, the two companies are also exploring future expansions into next-generation authentication technologies, including digital IDs and biometric authentication.
ARGOS will continue to expand authentication experiences that go beyond regulatory compliance to design trust across platforms, fintech, gaming, commerce, and other industries.
