A server computer system comprises a communications module; a processor coupled with the communications module; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to receive, via the communications module and from a remote computing device, a signal including a request to provision a data record for a service; select digital identity network verification as a primary verification technique; attempt verification using the primary verification technique; determine that verification using the primary verification technique has failed; responsive to determining that verification using the primary verification technique has failed, attempt verification using a secondary verification technique; determine successful verification using the secondary verification technique; and responsive to successful verification using the secondary verification technique, provision the data record for the service.
