Equifax Partners with Incode to Deliver Next-Gen Fraud Prevention

We’re excited to announce that Incode has partnered with Equifax, a global leader in data, analytics, and technology, to bring biometric identity verification and document authentication into the Equifax Kount 360™ platform.

This partnership marks a significant step in the fight against the most dangerous fraud vectors emerging in today’s digital world—deepfakes and synthetic identities—by integrating Incode’s advanced AI-driven verification into Equifax Identity Proofing.

About Equifax

Equifax is one of the world’s largest credit reporting and fraud prevention agencies, trusted by financial institutions, retailers, telcos, and public agencies across more than 24 countries. Through its Kount 360™ platform, Equifax enables businesses to balance risk with growth by providing real-time insights for identity, creditworthiness, and fraud prevention.

With cyber threats escalating in complexity—particularly due to generative AI—Equifax has developed Identity Proofing, a powerful orchestration layer that allows organizations to verify identities across the entire customer lifecycle.

Now, with the integration of Incode’s biometric and document verification technologies, that protection is even stronger.

Incode leverages the power of 35+ machine learning models, developed in house, to defend against hyperrealistic deepfakes and stop fraud in real time. — Incode leverages the power of 35+ machine learning models, developed in house, to defend against hyperrealistic deepfakes, and stop fraud in real time.

The Mission: Stop Deepfakes and Synthetic Fraud Before They Start

Synthetic identity fraud grew 14% year-over-year, according to Equifax credit application data. Account takeovers are up 8% globally, and deepfake attacks are becoming faster and harder to detect.

Together, Equifax and Incode are giving businesses the tools to:

Verify user identities in real time
Authenticate government-issued IDs with AI
Confirm liveness with fast, passive biometric checks
Detect deepfakes using advanced, multi-signal AI
Flag synthetic identities before they infiltrate workflows

“We are equipping our customers with a powerful solution for balancing growth with risk management. Our partnership with Incode enables a seamless digital experience for legitimate customers, while effectively preventing sophisticated fraud.”

— Ajay Guru, SVP and GM of Digital Solutions, Equifax

Why Incode? A New Layer of Trust in Identity Proofing

As Equifax evolved its Kount 360™ platform to combat increasingly sophisticated threats, it selected Incode to add a frictionless but robust identity layer.

A Single, Orchestrated Solution:

For the first time, businesses will be able to access Incode’s industry-leading biometric and document verification capabilities directly within the Kount 360 platform. This creates a single, comprehensive solution for end-to-end identity proofing.

Seamless Integration:

The partnership provides customers with a single suite of APIs, which reduces technical complexity, accelerates time-to-market, and lowers the total cost of ownership by eliminating the need to manage multiple vendor relationships.

Incode verifies over 4,900 global ID types with speed and accuracy, ensuring trust across borders.

Accelerating Digital Growth:

In today’s competitive landscape, customer experience is paramount. Frictionless technology helps businesses reduce onboarding abandonment rates, converting more good customers and driving top-line revenue growth.

Looking Ahead

As deepfakes and synthetic fraud continue to rise, businesses need more than data—they need intelligent, AI-powered defenses built into every digital interaction.

With this partnership, Equifax and Incode are redefining what end-to-end identity proofing should look like: simple, secure, scalable, and built for today’s threats.
