Trace Anyone

News - Latest

Need to trace someone? Pinnacle can help.

The need to trace people is a growing concern for many companies, across a vast array of industries. Historically, attempting to trace people could prove time consuming, costly and impractical; however, it is now possible to trace people swiftly and easily. At Pinnacle we provide cost-effective, comprehensive and intuitive tracing to 1000’s of companies and individuals.

Examples of Tracing Needs:

Life & Pension

Our complete pension tracing solution will locate your lost and deferred pension scheme members, quickly and efficiently. Our system will also flag mortalities via an electronic Certificate of existance check.

Reunification

Many financial organisations are embarking on pro-active asset reunification exercises. Our service portfolio has all of the tools you need to reunite customers with their unclaimed assets.

Debt Collection

Our Pinnacle tracing system makes debtor tracing a simple process. Intuitive tracing tools, designed by professional tracers, will help you yield the highest results.

Identity Checks

With criminals finding more inventive ways to assume another person’s identity, are you confident that your identity check procedures are robust enough to protect your company? Manual identity checks are not enough, with forged documents becoming harder to spot and many more remote dealings taking place.

However, a new sophisticated generation of identity checks has emerged, allowing you to "Know Your Customer" instantly. Electronic identity checks are being adopted by many companies and Pinnacle is one of the most powerful electronic identity check solutions in the UK.

UK identity checks

Identity fraud accounted for nearly half of all the fraud conducted in the UK in 2010 (source: CIFAS); as such any company which could be at risk should ensure they have stringent identity checks in place.

Occurring when transactions take place via phone, mail or internet, “Cardholder not present” (CNP) fraud continues to be a threat to UK businesses and consumers alike. Therefore, it is essential that companies who take payments without the customer present make sure they implement robust identity checks to protect their brand, the consumer and ultimately their bottom line.

Companies within the finance sector are subject to anti-money laundering regulations. Identity checks are an essential part of due diligence processes, but with traditional identity checking methods being costly and time consuming, more firms are turning to instant and cost-effective electronic identity verification.

Solicitors also have obligations to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and, along with their staff, are obliged to report any suspicious activities. Identity checking clients provides them with the confidence that they are dealing with legitimate persons.

Not-for-profit

If you are a university wishing to conduct an alumni search to reconnect with lost members or a charity embarking on a donor targeting exercise, our services will ensure that you communicate effectively with your potential supporters.

Call us today on 0845 166 4664 or 07976 975 918 for more details, need to find someone? Leave it to Pinnacle.

Geo-Fencing

News - Latest

Geo-fencing is the practice of establishing a “virtual field around any location that is used to trigger a mobile message to a user when the target enters or exits an area,” and it is predicted to be a major trend. With a quarter of the mobile phone-owning population using smartphones, more of us owning laptops than desktops, and so many GPS-equipped vehicles on the road, it’s fair to say that the mobile-yet-connected population segment is rising quickly. For those on the move, GPS technologies deliver information and direction. Pinnacle can provide a service to protect your child who has a mobile phone, you will always know where they are, even if they don't want you to know!

You will receive an email each and every time the target phone has either entered or exited the Geo-Fence which has been setup. It will provide a map of the current location and even give you detail of the battery level of the phone. All this runs in stealth on the mobile phone so no one except you knows it's there!
