Veriff and Data Zoo partner to strengthen global identity trust

New York – February 17, 2026 – Veriff, a global AI-native identity verification platform, partners with Data Zoo to integrate a trusted data-centric layer into its identity ecosystem. The collaboration enables businesses in complex, regulated markets to adopt a “defense-in-depth” strategy, combining Veriff’s AI-native technology with Data Zoo’s authoritative global data.

As sophisticated fraud rises, this partnership allows Veriff customers to access a diverse network of global data via a single API. This integration is designed to improve match rates and support evolving regulatory demands without adding friction to the user experience.

“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.”
