Kudelski IoT, a division of the Kudelski Group Announces the Launch of RecovR ID Check Kudelski IoT announced the launch of RecovR ID Check, an advanced identity verification solution designed to strengthen dealership defenses against identity theft and fraud in the U.S. automotive market. RecovR ID Check offers dealerships a modern, affordable solution to safeguard test drives, sales, and financing transactions. Criminals are increasingly using fake and stolen identities to take advantage of automotive dealers--driving off with vehicles during test drives or securing financing fraudulently. Identity crime enables them to disappear without a trace, leaving dealers to absorb the financial loss. And the fraud is often only discovered after the fictitious buyer defaults on their loan payments, which can be up to 90 days after purchase. This solution integrates seamlessly into existing dealership workflows, providing a powerful tool to reduce fraud and protect valuable dealership assets. Unlike competitive solutions, RecovR ID Check has no special equipment costs or monthly fees. Dealers simply purchase a pre-paid package of ID checks based on their needs.
