Veriff Partners with Data Zoo to Deliver Layered Identity Verification

17 February 2026 – Veriff, a global AI-native identity verification platform helping

businesses build trust online, today announced a partnership with Data Zoo, a

trusted gateway to authoritative global data assets, to further deliver a layered

approach to identity verification for organisations operating in complex, regulated

markets. The collaboration adds a trusted data-centric layer to Veriff’s AI-native

identity verification platform, helping businesses address evolving fraud and

regulatory demands.

As AI-driven fraud becomes more sophisticated, organisations are adopting layered

defences that strengthen trust without slowing down onboarding. This shift is

increasing the need for authoritative data that can be applied across markets and

regulatory environments.

Through the partnership, Veriff will integrate Data Zoo’s global authoritative data

network into its verification platform via a single, flexible API. This integration

provides a diverse set of authoritative global data capabilities, enabling organisations

to strengthen identity decisions, improve match rates, and support evolving

regulatory requirements as part of a layered verification strategy.

“Fraud is moving faster and becoming more adaptive, which means identity

verification must do the same,” said Gabriel Barbabela, Lead Growth Product

Manager at Veriff. “By integrating authoritative data from Data Zoo, we’re

strengthening our trust infrastructure to help businesses verify more honest users,

stay compliant, and deliver low-friction experiences at a global scale.”

“Every organisation is trying to balance trust, compliance, and customer experience

as fraud becomes more sophisticated,” said Jon Jones, Chief Commercial Officer at

Data Zoo. “Our partnership with Veriff advances digital trust by embedding

authoritative data into the platform, delivering real-time insights that increase

customer assurance and help customers stay ahead of evolving identity fraud.”

Data Zoo integrates seamlessly into orchestration workflows that require trusted

KYC checks. As the data layer for identity verification, Data Zoo provides secure

access to authoritative data across more than 40 countries. Its global data network is

continually refined, with privacy and compliance embedded to support accurate

verification and secure onboarding.
