Veriff and Data Zoo have teamed up to integrate robust global data into Veriff’s advanced AI-based identity verification platform. Through this partnership, Veriff will leverage Data Zoo’s extensive global data network through a single API integration. This collaboration is aimed at tackling the increasing complexity of fraud and compliance challenges for businesses operating in multiple regulated markets.

Responding to evolving fraud with layered identity verification

This partnership aligns with an industry trend towards multi-layered identity verification strategies. As AI-driven fraud becomes more sophisticated, organizations are turning to solutions that combine various data sources and methods to mitigate risk while preserving user experience.

Data Zoo offers access to reliable, independent data from over 40 countries through a unified API. Its network is designed as a data layer within the KYC orchestration process, providing secure access to verified information with privacy and compliance considerations embedded in its design. The network is regularly updated to ensure accuracy across different jurisdictions.

The integration allows Veriff’s clients to incorporate this data layer into their verification strategies, enabling real-time cross-referencing of identity decisions against authoritative sources. A representative from Veriff highlighted that the partnership aims to help businesses ‘verify more honest users, stay compliant, and deliver seamless experiences on a global scale.’ A Data Zoo representative added that the collaboration seeks to provide ‘real-time insights that bolster customer assurance and enable customers to keep ahead of evolving fraud.’

Veriff’s platform integrates automation with human expertise and is utilized by companies across finance, gaming, marketplaces, and mobility sectors, including clients such as Monzo, Deel, Trustpilot, and Bolt. The addition of Data Zoo’s authoritative data network enhances the platform’s ability to support verification in complex, multi-jurisdictional environments where regulatory requirements vary significantly.

For organizations subject to KYC regulations, accessing a comprehensive and up-to-date global data network through a single API integration simplifies the management of multiple data partnerships. This combined solution positions Veriff to serve businesses looking to streamline their identity verification infrastructure while broadening their geographic reach.
