Reused identities rarely look suspicious in isolation. That’s what makes them hard to catch.
Veriff CrossLinks connects signals from devices, documents and sessions, so the pattern shows even when each check looks clean.

Money20/20 is officially underway. Every booth will tell you how much fraud they catch.
Fewer will tell you how many good customers they turn away, or how long a decision takes.
Raul Liive, our Director of Product, shared six questions to ask any identity provider on the floor this week, including us. Each comes with a green flag and a red flag, so you know what a good answer sounds like.
Read them before your next booth conversation: veriff.com/identity-verifica…
If you're in Las Vegas, stop by and ask our team these. We're at booth #9040, and we'd love to talk it through.

The UK's expanded Right to Work rules have been live since October 1. For employment platforms, the verification itself is the easy part. The challenge is everything around it.
Three things we're seeing work for the platforms we support:
1️⃣ Qualify applicants early, so British and Irish passports and eVisas follow the right route from the start
2️⃣ Staff the manual queue for registration peaks, with a named team and a clear escalation path
3️⃣ Keep checking after onboarding, especially where workers can send substitutes
Our Director of Product, Marketplaces, Raul Liive breaks down what we've learned working with several major platforms. 👉 veriff.com/identity-verifica…

Fraud used to require skills. Now a lot of it can be bought.
Stolen identity packages, document templates, one-time passcode (OTP) bots and ready-made scripts are sold as services, sometimes with support and updates included. That lowers the barrier to entry and speeds up how fast attacks spread.
Our blog breaks down the fraud-as-a-service supply chain and what it means for fraud teams. Read here: veriff.com/fraud/the-rise-of…

You verified a driver or seller in January. Great. Who is operating that account in September? 🚗
Account renting is now industrial-scale. Fraudsters pass KYC once, then hand the keys to unvetted operators.
If your trust stack stops at the front door, you're not running a safe platform. You're running an onboarding gate.

A reflection in a verification video exposed a third person coaching the "customer" off-camera.
500+ linked accounts. Different users, same devices. Each one looked fine alone.
Fraud rings are built that way. How we spot them: veriff.com/fraud/fraud-rings

🇪🇪 Estonia has produced some of the most consequential technology companies in the world.
Today, Veriff was officially named one of them.
We've been ranked #3 on the 2026 TopTech list of the 30 most valuable Estonian tech companies.
Building the infrastructure for digital trust doesn't happen by accident. It takes a relentless team, incredible partners, and a zero-compromise approach to identity verification.
We spent the last decade building a system that stops synthetic fraud while keeping the front door wide open for legitimate users. This ranking is a direct reflection of that execution.
Thank you to the TopTech organizers for this recognition, and a massive congratulations to all the incredible companies driving Estonian tech forward alongside us on this year's list.
Here's to the team that built this, and the customers who trust us to protect their platforms every day! 🚀

You might think you know who is behind the screen.
A FTSE 100 company ran a standard hiring process, conducted video interviews, and made an offer.
Months later, they received a call from the FBI: the developer they hired was actually a North Korean state-sponsored worker using a rented identity.
@Gartner_inc projects that by 2028, 1 in 4 candidate profiles worldwide will be fake. AI resume generators and deepfake interview bots have made applying free and effortless, turning recruitment funnels into massive security liabilities.
A resume looks identical whether it was written by an honest applicant, an AI agent, or an organized fraud ring.
That is why our partners at hackajob launched Archer Approves, a multi-layer trust system using Veriff to verify government IDs before an employer wastes time on an interview.

Veriff has spent a decade answering three questions: is this person really who they claim to be, is this person trusted, and is that trusted person still behind the already verified account?
It took ten years to answer them 400 million times. We're at 784 million today, having nearly doubled that in the past year alone.
What's changed is the adversary. AI made fraud cheap, fast, and convincing. As agents start acting on our behalf, we'll need an entirely new standard for trust, which is exactly what @KaarelKotkas sat down to discuss at Norte Venture's fireside in São Paulo last week.
Thank you Norte for having us, and congrats on the new fund.

"I don't want it to happen in the first place."
@ceciliefjellhoy lost more than $250,000 to romance fraud and filed for bankruptcy because of it.
When we spoke to her on Veriff Voices, she was clear that reimbursement is not the answer.
Prevention is, and it starts with verified identities online.
Her words land differently this week, with news that a convicted fraudster plans to launch a dating app of his own.
Founders get verified for who they are, not for what they have done. In most industries that is a technicality. In this one, it's the whole risk.

If an AI agent buys a $4,000 laptop on your marketplace, who authorized the transaction?
Automated traffic is now both your fastest-growing acquisition channel AND your largest attack surface. Fraudsters know this, and they are using automation to scale account takeovers.
The goal isn't to block all bots. To confidently serve legitimate AI buying agents, platforms need to bind the agent's activity to a verified, accountable human. We break down how to get your platform agent-ready in our latest piece for Retail Dive: retaildive.com/spons/prepari…

Yesterday at Latam Fintech Market, Rafael Luque took the stage to discuss the tension between certainty and probability in modern financial decisions.
He highlighted one of the most critical blind spots in identity verification: interoperability.
Right now, if a fraudster is caught by one provider, that intelligence remains siloed. Rafa spoke about the urgency of breaking down these walls and the immense value of cross-referencing biometric data directly with national registries, a model already proving its worth in Mexico.
Fraudsters share information. The industry needs to do the same.
We're ready for day 2. If you're at Latam Fintech Market today, come meet our experts to talk about identity, conversion, and scaling securely across the LATAM ecosystem! 🚀

En su intervención, Rafael Luque habló del reto de la interoperabilidad: hoy desde @Veriff no puede saber si un cliente fraudulento ya fue identificado por otro proveedor. También resaltó el valor de los datos biométricos con la Registraduría, como ya ocurre en México.

⚠️ Phishing scammers are casting a wider, more random net than ever before. Following recent news of a high-profile fintech data breach, we're seeing a massive spillover into active phishing campaigns that are targeting people entirely at random.
Anu Liinev, Fraud Optimisation Manager here at Veriff, recently saw this firsthand when a scam message was sent to her 16-year-old daughter, who doesn’t even use the service the scammers were impersonating.
As these attacks get more aggressive, Anu has a few kind reminders on how to spot them:
🚩 Urgency and emotion: Phishing messages are designed to make you panic so you act quickly without thinking.
🚩 Unsolicited links: Never click a link in an unexpected text or email claiming your account is locked, compromised, or requires verification.
🚩 The golden rule: If a message triggers a strong emotional response or demands urgent action, put your phone down, take a breath, and pause. Always verify directly through official channels instead of using the link provided in the message.
Please stay vigilant and share this reminder with your family and friends. Stay safe out there!

A brilliant session yesterday with Roberta and Lavina, exploring the intersection of identity, trust, and growth in modern dating.
In a world of AI-generated photos and scripted bots, proving a user is real is essential for a safe experience. We loved diving into how the right verification process doesn't slow down sign-ups, but actually drives retention and real-world connections. 🤝
Here's to the third and final day of @MarketplaceRisk NY, we hope to see you today!

The point about the world needing to build trust in AI is the one that lands with us.
A fact we can contribute: in our 2026 research, US adults shown real and AI-generated media performed at roughly a coin flip. Video was hardest, one pair fooled 70%, yet about half were confident they’d spot a deepfake.
Rules that assume people can tell the difference won’t hold. Good to see industry and lawmakers working this through together.

After such a consequential week for AI, with the leading labs demonstrating real progress, today's news feels especially timely: @SVAngel is launching Project Blueprint, a comprehensive effort to forge consensus among industry leaders and lawmakers around durable solutions to the hardest AI policy challenges so that all Americans can benefit from AI's opportunities. And we've brought on @JayCarney to run it. svangel.com/blueprint
We are encouraged by the reaction of Sam Altman, Dario Amodei and Demis Hassabis to the launch of Project Blueprint:
Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI: "We have before us a technology of immense and still-unfolding wonder. I believe AI has the power to heal people, to discover cures and to deliver abundance on a scale the world has never known before. But we need a way for the world to build trust in the technology so that we can all get to share these benefits. National safety requirements for the most capable systems are a great first step, ideally building towards a global framework for advanced AI models. I’m glad Ron is bringing the people building AI and policymakers together to help move that work forward.”
Dario Amodei, CEO and co-founder, Anthropic: "AI is advancing faster than our institutions can adapt, and the most important decisions about how it is developed and deployed will be made in the next few years. If those decisions are to serve the public, they can't rest with AI companies alone. Industry and policymakers need to work through them together, with an honest, shared understanding of what these systems can do. We're glad to support Project Blueprint's effort to make that possible."
Demis Hassabis, chairman and co-founder of Google DeepMind and the chief scientist of Alphabet: "We have long said that AI development needs to be both bold and responsible. We support bringing industry and lawmakers together around public policies that promote both innovation and safety."

Verification should be a community standard, not just a security gate.
When Feeld rolled out identity verification, they didn’t force mandatory checks. They relied on positive peer pressure.
Lead Product Manager Lavina Lim explains in this clip how stepping into a network of verified profiles makes new users want to meet that same standard. This herd mentality of trust is how smart platforms turn friction into a growth engine.
Join Veriff and Feeld on stage next week at @MarketplaceRisk in NYC to hear how this approach drives sign-ups, retention, and real-world connection.

"Only human beings are accountable."
As AI agents increasingly browse, shop, and execute transactions on behalf of real people, the identity landscape faces a critical question: How do you handle accountability when a machine is calling the shots?
During our recent panel, Veriff CTO Hubert Behaghel broke down why verifying an AI agent at the front gate simply isn't enough.
