GBG and Darwinium partner to advance fraud prevention with Intent Intelligence. Darwinium will enhance GBG's fraud prevention capabilities with real-time behavioral and intent intelligence across human and AI agent journeys. September 30, 2026 12:00 ET | Source: Darwinium LONDON and SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - GBG, a global leader in identity and location intelligence, is partnering with Darwinium, the Intent Intelligence Company, to strengthen its fraud prevention capabilities with continuous behavioral and intent intelligence. The partnership will help businesses determine whether the actions of a verified person or AI agent remain consistent with legitimate intent throughout a digital journey. Fraud prevention has traditionally focused on establishing identity or evaluating risk at a specific moment. Yet a legitimate identity does not always mean the activity itself can be trusted. That gap is already visible in scams that manipulate verified customers into acting on a fraudster's behalf and will become more pronounced as AI agents take on more tasks and transactions. Darwinium continuously evaluates behavioral, device and journey-level signals to identify when activity no longer reflects a customer's intent or an authorized agent's purpose. GBG helps power billions of trusted digital interactions annually across identity verification, fraud prevention and location intelligence for more than 20,000 customers worldwide. Its technology supports organizations in more than 70 countries. Combined with Darwinium's intent intelligence, these capabilities will help businesses identify changes in risk across human and agent activity throughout the customer lifecycle. "Identity remains fundamental to digital trust. As AI agents become an increasingly important part of the customer experience, businesses also need the context to understand what is happening after identity has been established," said Gus Tomlinson, Chief Product & Technology Officer at GBG. "By bringing Darwinium's behavioral and intent intelligence together with GBG's identity and location capabilities, we can give customers a more complete view of trust across the journey. It allows us to combine what we know about an identity with how a human or agent is actually behaving, helping our customers make more informed fraud decisions while continuing to deliver fast, low-friction digital experiences." Darwinium deploys at the edge of an organization's digital environment, enabling risk signals to be observed and acted upon across web, mobile, API and agent interactions. Device intelligence, behavioral biometrics and journey-level signals can be brought together with GBG's identity and location intelligence to apply the appropriate level of trust or friction based on risk. Darwinium's founding team, led by Alisdair Faulkner, previously co-founded and scaled ThreatMetrix, the digital identity company, bringing deep experience in online fraud prevention to today's need for continuous intent intelligence for the AI era. "GBG has built an incredibly strong foundation of global identity and location intelligence. Darwinium complements that by adding the behavioral context around an identity," says Michael Rodriguez, Chief Operating Officer at Darwinium, "That combination becomes particularly powerful in the agentic era. Businesses need to distinguish a trusted customer using a trusted agent from fraudsters and malicious automation without simply blocking AI-driven traffic. Together, GBG and Darwinium create a much richer picture of trust and gives businesses the confidence to embrace new forms of digital interaction without compromising security or customer experience."

Intellias and GBG put agentic AI to work turning identity data into decisions. Expanded partnership scales GBG's AI trust intelligence platform, starting with faster, sharper signals for gaming and financial services customers LONDON - July 22, 2026 - Intellias, an AI-enabled product engineering and digital solutions partner, today announced an expanded technology partnership with GBG, the AI trust intelligence platform that turns billions of interactions across people, places, and businesses into the signals that power the decisions businesses make to drive and protect growth. Together, the companies will expedite and amplify how those signals reach customers. The two companies have already proven the model works. Intellias helped build Foresight, launched in May 2026, which turns GBG's 800 million annual identity checks into real-time insight and peer benchmarking, giving fraud, compliance and onboarding teams the context to act with confidence rather than wait for a periodic review and built on AWS cloud infrastructure to provide customers the scale and resilience needed to support high-volumes of verification journeys during key sporting events like the Superbowl and the Worldcup. Separately, the partnership has delivered a conversational AI analytics assistant that lets GBG's teams query platform data in natural language, cutting reporting time from days to seconds. And it's helped consolidate more than 80 identity and fraud modules into GBG Go, GBG's single adaptive platform, so those signals reach customers through one connection instead of many. The expanded partnership scales that up. Intellias' AI Pods, small teams of product, design and engineering specialists working alongside dedicated AI agents across requirements, architecture, coding, QA and deployment, are being embedded into GBG's engineering function. The aim is to shorten the distance between a signal and a decision: AI agents take on the repetitive groundwork, engineers focus on the product decisions that make the difference, and more signal reaches customers, faster. The first customers to feel the difference will be in gaming and financial services, where the roadmap includes: * Pre-sales sandbox environments, so prospective customers can experience GBG Go's value before they buy * Faster onboarding, cutting the time to get a new customer live on the platform * A richer consumer profile, drawing on additional data sources including GBG's recently expanded Equifax partnership, plus biometric and mobile signals * Self-serve, explainable-by-design configuration, giving customers more control over their own onboarding journeys * Toolkits and SDKs to allow customers to embed GBG Go's components into their onboarding process seamlessly Every interaction on its platform is a signal, and its job is to turn it into a decision its customers can act on by the fastest, shortest path possible. Intellias has already proven that with Foresight and with faster reporting. Scaling this partnership means its engineers can build more of that value, to the same high standard, and get it to customers even faster. Gus Tomlinson Chief Product and Technology Officer at GBG GBG is exactly the kind of business its AI Pods model was built for: deep proprietary data, a demanding regulatory environment, and a real ambition to move faster without cutting corners. Intellias is proud to deepen the partnership and help GBG turn that data into decisions at scale Regina Viadro SVP Digital and President North America at Intellias GBG exists to enable safe and rewarding digital lives for genuine people, everywhere.
