Identy.io provides biometric authentication on mobile phones, for secure and user-friendly identity verification, enabling government and corporate customers to grow operations with a cost-effective suite of products.
Biometric authentication confirms a returning user’s identity through a unique biological trait (face, fingerprint or palm) instead of a password or token. Because the credential is the person, it cannot be phished, shared, reused across services or forgotten. This guide explains how biometric authentication works, the main methods and their
The rapid digitization of financial, administrative, and telecommunications services in Latin America has accelerated the adoption of biometric verification solutions and advanced biometrics for telecommunications to combat the growing rise of digital fraud and identity theft. In Mexico alone, nearly 16 million people could fall victim to some form of
Biometric verification is only as strong as its ability to know a real human is in front of the camera. Liveness detection software is the anti-fraud layer that makes that determination — rejecting printed photos, screen replays, 3D masks, synthetic identities and injected deepfakes before they ever reach the matching
The Football World Cup is, without a doubt, one of the major sporting and social events of the decade. Until July 19th, 48 national teams will be competing for victory in a tournament which, for the first time in history, is held across three different host countries (Mexico, Canada and
Identity verification is the process of confirming that a person is who they claim to be.

The global retail sector is at one of the most momentous points in its history. In Mexico, this sector already contributes approximately 10% of the country’s GDP, while in Brazil, its economic weight exceeded $231.08 billion by 2025. In Colombia, the sector reached $117.48 billion last year, compared to $65
Biometric authentication is only as strong as its ability to tell a real person from a spoof. As attackers shift from printed photos to 3D silicone masks and deepfakes, presentation attack detection (PAD) — the technology that stops these spoofs — has become a core requirement for any serious identity
Open finance represents one of the most significant transformations in the financial industry in recent years. This model enables users to share their financial data, as well as information from other domains such as insurance, investments, or pensions, with various entities including banks, fintechs, and insurers, always with their explicit
Remote identity proofing now relies on document capture, selfie verification, and automated face comparison at scale. Traditional KYC and basic face matching were built to confirm likeness and document evidence, not to prove that a camera stream is genuine or that submitted media has not been synthetically altered. NIST now
Over the last few years, Artificial Intelligence has become one of the most recognized and widely used technologies, not only by end users, but also by companies around the world. Its ability to quickly solve complex problems and automate tasks has put this technology in the spotlight, to such an
The digitization that the healthcare sector is undergoing, through the integration of different digital technologies in areas such as prevention or the treatment and monitoring of diseases, represents one of the biggest changes that this industry has undergone in recent years. This innovation has transformed the way patients and medical
