SEON, the command center for real-time fraud prevention and AML compliance, has announced the launch of its AI-powered Identity Verification solution. This new offering integrates identity document verification, biometric liveness detection, and proof of address checks directly into its unified risk platform, enabling organizations to detect fraud earlier by combining core KYC processes with extensive real-time fraud intelligence.

  • SEON introduces AI-powered Identity Verification built on over 900 real-time fraud signals.
  • Unlike traditional tools, it assesses both document validity and overall user risk for confident approvals.
  • Features include global ID verification, biometric liveness, proof of address, and optional government database checks.
  • Customizable workflows tailor verification to customer segments, risk profiles, or regulatory needs.
  • All signals appear in a single dashboard, reducing silos between fraud, compliance, and risk teams.
  • Initial focus on Europe supports regulated sectors like iGaming, fintech, and digital platforms.

Addressing Limitations in Traditional Identity Verification

Most existing identity verification solutions concentrate on validating documents but often lack the broader risk context required to determine if a user truly meets an organization's risk-based criteria. This can allow sophisticated fakes or legitimate documents misused by fraudsters to pass basic checks. SEON's solution bridges this gap by merging standard KYC procedures with live fraud intelligence from more than 900 signals. As a result, organizations can efficiently filter low-risk users during onboarding while identifying and blocking high-risk attempts early, before they consume valuable KYC resources.

Unified Platform for Enhanced Decision-Making

The Identity Verification solution supports verification of government-issued IDs worldwide, biometric liveness detection to confirm real users, proof of address validation, and optional checks against government databases. Teams can design flexible workflows that combine identity checks, fraud signals, and AML screening according to specific customer segments, risk appetites, or regulatory demands. By centralizing all relevant data in one dashboard, the platform eliminates operational silos, reduces friction, and provides a clear audit trail for decisions.

“Organizations have told us they're managing separate tools for fraud detection, identity verification and AML compliance – each with its own data, workflows and operational overhead,” said Tamas Kadar, CEO and Co-Founder, SEON. “We built Identity Verification to bring those decisions together. When you combine AI-powered document checks with real-time fraud intelligence, you stop attacks earlier, reduce wasted KYC spend and make faster, more confident approval decisions with a clear audit trail.”

Industry Focus and Real-World Impact

The initial rollout targets Europe's stringent regulatory landscape, developed in collaboration with gaming and betting operators to balance strict compliance with operational efficiency and improved conversion rates. This positions SEON strongly in regulated industries such as iGaming, fintech, and digital platforms.

“The industry is moving toward bringing identity verification, fraud and AML into one decision layer, and SEON is helping to lead that shift,” said Filip Gvardijan, Head of Fraud Prevention at industry leading operator, Superbet. “That shift matters. It cuts out pointless and expensive KYC cycles on users who were never legitimate, and also clears a faster path for legitimate users, removing a huge amount of avoidable and often manual work.”
