A Decade of Trust: Incode Celebrates 10 Years of Innovation
On June 17, 2025, Incoders around the world gathered to celebrate something exciting. More than 500 employees came together, across six continents, to reflect on a decade of building trust, breaking barriers, and imagining what comes next.
This wasn’t just about celebrating the past ten years. It was about recognizing that our biggest impact is still to come.
“It’s been a decade of innovation, growth, and a powerful shared vision. But above all, it’s been a decade of meaningful impact.” —Ricardo Amper, CEO and Founder

A Mission Rooted in Purpose
When Ricardo Amper founded Incode in 2015, the digital world was struggling with a fundamental problem: how do you know, for sure, that the person on the other side of a screen is real? Traditional identity verification was slow, clunky, and often excluded the very people who needed access most.
What started as a vision for better authentication has evolved into something deeper. We now power a world of trust. This means protecting identities before fraud happens, enabling access to services that change lives, and creating systems where trust isn’t earned slowly but embedded instantly.
“My ambition is to push the boundaries of science and technology. But more than that, I want to make a lasting, positive impact on the world.” —Ricardo Amper
This mission has guided every decision: from investing years in developing our in-house built AI to forming partnerships with governments and leading companies across finance, healthcare, travel, gaming, and beyond.
But the technology was never the end goal. Incode exists to make trust scalable, secure, and invisible.
Real Impact, Real Stories
Behind every verification are real people whose lives have been changed.
“From advancing financial inclusion to ensuring safer rides in transportation apps, making stadiums more inclusive, and helping combat abuse against vulnerable populations, we’ve touched lives in ways that truly matter.” —Ricardo Amper
The ripple effects extend far beyond individual transactions. When financial inclusion increases, entire communities grow stronger. When verification becomes frictionless, innovation accelerates. When fraud decreases, trust in digital systems grows, benefiting everyone.
A Culture Built on Trust
Behind every product is a person and a team. What makes Incode special is not the technology we build, but how we build it together.
“The road hasn’t always been smooth. We’ve faced our share of highs and lows. But every challenge shaped us. Every step was growth. And that, in itself, is worth celebrating.” —Ricardo Amper
Today, we have Incoders in 26 countries, speaking more than 30 languages, working across every time zone.
“With over 500 Incoders across 6 continents, I couldn’t be prouder of the rich diversity that defines Incode. Our global presence reflects the very values we stand for—inclusivity, innovation, and unity.” —Ricardo Amper
Our culture is grounded in values that aren’t corporate speak. They’re how we actually work: excellence in our craft, empathy in solving problems, diversity in our perspectives, growth through curiosity, and innovation that dreams big while staying grounded in real impact.
Looking Ahead
The digital landscape is evolving faster than ever. AI is reshaping how fraud works. Deepfakes are becoming more sophisticated, and synthetic identities are more convincing. But this same technology evolution is also creating unprecedented opportunities to build better, more secure systems.
“We’ve come a long way, but in many ways, we’re just getting started. We’re standing at the edge of a technological tsunami, and we’re ready to ride the wave into a new and exciting future.” —Ricardo Amper
From achieving unicorn status in 2021 to being recognized as a Leader in the inaugural Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Identity Verification in 2024, our journey has been marked by meaningful milestones. But what excites us most isn’t what we’ve accomplished. It’s what these achievements enable us to do next.
We’re expanding our partnerships, making secure identity verification available to more businesses and more countries. We’re building the infrastructure for a world where identity verification is universal, instant, and invisible.
As we move forward, one thing remains constant: our mission isn’t to sell identity verification. Our mission is to protect people, empower businesses, and build a world where trust is the default.
