The continued growth of digital banking is expected to accelerate the expansion of the digital identity verification market. Digital banking enables users to access financial services through online platforms, allowing them to manage their banking activities anytime and anywhere. This rise in digital banking is fueled by the increasing demand for convenience, as customers seek the ability to manage accounts, make transactions, and access services on the go, enhancing both accessibility and user experience. Digital identity verification plays a key role in bolstering security in digital banking by utilizing biometrics, passwords, or authentication apps to verify user identities. This process helps prevent fraud, ensures regulatory compliance, and facilitates secure, seamless transactions, thereby building customer trust. For example, in January 2024, the European Central Bank reported that contactless card payments in the first half of 2023 rose by 24.3%, reaching 20.9 billion transactions, with the total value increasing by 25.9% to €0.5 trillion ($545.27 billion). Thus, the growth of digital banking is significantly driving the demand for digital identity verification solutions.

Leading companies in the digital identity verification market are focusing on the development of advanced technologies, such as biometric authentication, to enhance security and streamline the user verification process. Biometric authentication is a security method that confirms a person’s identity by utilizing unique biological traits, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans, offering a highly secure and efficient way to verify identity. This ensures that only authorized individuals can access specific systems or services. For example, in October 2024, Jumio, a US-based identity verification firm, introduced Jumio Liveness, an advanced liveness detection technology. This solution is designed to combat sophisticated fraud tactics including deepfakes and injection attacks while maintaining a smooth user experience. The AI-powered solution uses state-of-the-art biometric and anti-spoofing techniques, including real-time behavioral analysis and ISO 30107-3 compliance, to confirm that users are physically present and legitimate during identity verification. This innovation strengthens fraud prevention without complicating the process, making it highly suitable for industries with strict security requirements.

In April 2024, Entrust Corp., a US-based software and credential company, acquired Onfido for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition allows Entrust to bolster its identity-centric security offerings by incorporating Onfido’s advanced AI-powered identity verification technology. The integration enables organizations to provide secure, digital-first experiences while addressing emerging threats including deepfakes and ensuring compliance with global regulations. Onfido, a UK-based technology firm, specializes in automated digital identity verification solutions.
