Veriff, a global AI-native identity verification platform helping  businesses build trust online, today announced a partnership with Data Zoo, a  trusted gateway to authoritative global data assets, to further deliver a layered  approach to identity verification for organisations operating in complex, regulated  markets. The collaboration adds a trusted data-centric layer to Veriff’s AI-native  identity verification platform, helping businesses address evolving fraud and  regulatory demands. 

As AI-driven fraud becomes more sophisticated, organisations are adopting layered  defences that strengthen trust without slowing down onboarding. This shift is  increasing the need for authoritative data that can be applied across markets and  regulatory environments. 

Through the partnership, Veriff will integrate Data Zoo’s global authoritative data  network into its verification platform via a single, flexible API. This integration  provides a diverse set of authoritative global data capabilities, enabling organisations to strengthen identity decisions, improve match rates, and support evolving  regulatory requirements as part of a layered verification strategy. 

“Fraud is moving faster and becoming more adaptive, which means identity  verification must do the same,” said Gabriel Barbabela, Lead Growth Product  Manager at Veriff. “By integrating authoritative data from Data Zoo, we’re  strengthening our trust infrastructure to help businesses verify more honest users,  stay compliant, and deliver low-friction experiences at a global scale.” 

“Every organisation is trying to balance trust, compliance, and customer experience  as fraud becomes more sophisticated,” said Jon Jones, Chief Commercial Officer at  Data Zoo. “Our partnership with Veriff advances digital trust by embedding  authoritative data into the platform, delivering real-time insights that increase  customer assurance and help customers stay ahead of evolving identity fraud.” 

Data Zoo integrates seamlessly into orchestration workflows that require trusted  KYC checks. As the data layer for identity verification, Data Zoo provides secure  access to authoritative data across more than 40 countries. Its global data network is 

continually refined, with privacy and compliance embedded to support accurate  verification and secure onboarding.
