Copying and scanning is eliminated and amongst many other features, you have the ability to use your iPhone or Android to take photos, upload identification documents and submit to any lender, on a secure web platform, all in a matter of minutes.
“MSA launched the product for its own internal use for customers collecting home loan documents and title deeds from our office. The mobile App was so popular that we decided to share it with all our lending partners and their mortgage brokers.
Stamping out identity theft and giving our clients the tools to guard against this are something MSA are very passionate about. We are here to help our clients work through these processes and help mitigate risk.” Says CEO, Ayhan Baba.

What is IDyou?
IDyou is a mobile application that can be used on your iPhone to verify the identity of your clients for mortgage transactions. IDyou lets you take pictures of your client and their identification documents in order to satisfy VOI regulations. IDyou’s intuitive system understands the VOI category requirements and guides you through simple steps to ensure a standardised and compliant VOI process within your office.
Why use IDyou?
Changes to legislation across Australia have placed stricter regulations on lenders, brokers, franchisees and loan writers when conducting lending activity. Many states have already implemented Verification of Identity regulations for all loan transactions.
Verification of Identity generally requires the lender, broker, franchisee or loan writer to:
- conduct face-to-face interviews with the clients;
- view and store copies of current, original identification documents; and
- confirm that the client bears a reasonable likeness to the photos in their identification documents.
Storage of the copies of these sensitive identification documents places great responsibility on you. Through IDyou, MSA National offers secure storage of all your VOI documents. All the data you input into IDyou is encrypted and stored on certified secure servers avoiding the risk of loss or theft, and ensuring the security of your client’s information.
