AI Powered Identity Platform Offers Broadest Global Coverage With API Integration for Omnichannel Transactions

Acuant, a leading global provider of identity verification solutions, announced it has finalized the acquisition of former strategic partner IdentityMind, creator of Trusted Digital Identities. Expanding its reach across the digital identity lifecycle, Acuant will combine its award-winning Trusted Identity Platform for identity proofing and verification with IdentityMind’s top-performing Digital Identity Platform for identity creation, risk scoring, transaction monitoring and regulatory compliance (KYC and AML). This evolution creates a best-in-class Identity Platform for building, proofing, verifying and maintaining digital identities.

“Never before has identity been so critical to building and maintaining a stable and productive economy,” said Yossi Zekri, President and CEO of Acuant. “Businesses must rely on trusted identities to successfully transact, fight fraud and stay compliant.

For over 20 years, Acuant has led the industry in developing innovative solutions that provide fast, accurate and secure identity verification. IdentityMind pioneered the building of trusted digital identities while focusing on the critical task of solving for financial crimes, fraud, risk and compliance. The combined platform executes against one of the most difficult challenges we face within our society today: addressing if you truly are who you say you are and delivering the answer with certainty and trust.

With unmatched flexibility, third-party data and technology sources, and a single API, customers can access as much or as little as they need of the platform. The result is an advanced orchestration hub that provides the most accurate risk decisioning, allows businesses to move faster and delivers the best user experience across all channels.

“Establishing trust in customers and understanding risk is a vital part of success in the digital world,” said Garrett Gafke, CEO of IdentityMind. “That’s why we built our platform around digital identities, creating and proofing 350+ million identities and earning 10+ patents along the way. There is more Trusted Identity innovation to come and we look forward to working with Acuant to make it happen.”
