Article content Trusted by the world's leading brands and regulators, GeoComply's digital identity solutions were built on the fundamental understanding that transaction security threats are not static - they evolve throughout the entire user journey, spanning accounts, devices, and entities that are often interconnected and hidden. Article content Top Stories Interested in more newsletters? Browse here. Article content Unlike traditional transaction security platforms that are built on siloed, point-in-time checks, GeoComply continuously corroborates high-fidelity geolocation, device, and behavioural data to build context-aware evidence anchored in physical reality. Rather than assessing risk at a single moment in time, GeoComply understands the nuance of how a user's behaviour, intent, and identity evolve across the user journey - surfacing patterns and deviations that conventional checks are structurally unable to see. Article content This contextual precision directly translates into financial accessibility and growth. With near-zero false positives, trusted users avoid unnecessary friction or blockage from essential services. This is especially beneficial for underbanked and thin-file customers, who are often screened out by traditional fraud tools. GeoComply's granular trust profiles also unlock a competitive edge. Verified users can be delighted with personalized offers, higher transfer limits, instant approvals, and seamless cross-border transactions, while malicious actors are deterred. For FinTechs, this means not compromising on security or growth. Article content GeoComply continues to set the gold standard for seamless transaction security, so FinTechs can expand confidently into new markets without sacrificing compliance or customer experience: Article content * Enhanced growth and retention: False positives as low as 0.1%, ensuring FinTechs reward their most trusted users, while also enabling seamless financial access for thin file users. * Immediate cost savings: Up to 7 figures in monthly fraud savings from proactive risk detection that reduces manual reviews by ~60%. * Regulatory perfection: Zero GeoComply customers fined to date due to non-compliance. Article content "Traditional AML programs assess risk through onboarding and siloed liveness checks, but the signals aren't linked, making it hard to determine if a legitimate user might later sell their account to a mule, move, or even have their credentials compromised long after account creation," said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, FinTech Breakthrough. "With GeoComply, continuous behavioural intelligence replaces siloed point-in-time checks that overlook key risk patterns, ensuring FinTechs don't have to choose between security, user experience and financial accessibility. We're thrilled to award GeoComply 'Financial Transaction Security Platform of the Year!'"

GeoComply launches identity platform for Brazil. Vancouver-based GeoComply has launched a unified identity platform for Brazil, combining KYC verification, fraud detection, and geolocation compliance into a single system designed for the country's newly regulated iGaming market. Brazil has recently moved to regulate its fast-growing online betting industry, creating a significant opportunity for operators while introducing complex compliance and identity verification requirements. GeoComply says its new platform is designed to help operators manage those challenges through a single infrastructure rather than integrating multiple vendors for identity verification, fraud prevention, and location compliance. "Brazil is one of the most complex and fast-moving regulated markets in the world, and operators there are dealing with challenges that off-the-shelf solutions simply aren't built for," said GeoComply CEO Kip Levin. BC Tech is the largest member-led technology non-profit in British Columbia, and we're dedicated to turning startups and scaleups into the anchor companies of tomorrow. Our work supports members to grow and diversify their talent pool, acquire new customers, access capital and accelerate their scaleup journey. Technology is a key industry for BC's future and builds resiliency in every industry. Today, every company is a tech company. Join now. "We've taken the same approach that has delivered industry-leading pass rates across more than 30 jurisdictions and applied it to Brazil, creating a single platform that solves KYC, fraud, and compliance together." At the core of the platform is a managed KYC "waterfall" delivered through one endpoint. Instead of stitching together fragmented onboarding systems, operators can access Brazilian identity data sources through a single identity infrastructure designed to streamline player verification. The platform supports document-free registration flows using CPF validation, Brazil's national taxpayer identification system, allowing legitimate players to register more quickly while helping operators reduce manual review and operational complexity. GeoComply says the approach mirrors identity systems it has deployed in other regulated markets, where pass rates have exceeded 95% in U.S. jurisdictions and more than 90% in the United Kingdom. Beyond onboarding, the platform applies device, location, and behavioural intelligence throughout the player lifecycle to detect fraud and suspicious activity without disrupting legitimate users. Machine learning models trained for the Brazilian market analyze device manipulation, high-risk location activity, and linked accounts in real time while supporting ongoing AML monitoring requirements. According to GeoComply, the system delivers geolocation pass rates of up to 99.7% and 99.999% uptime in regulated environments. "As we grow internationally, we know we can trust GeoComply to deliver excellent results and act as a strategic partner," said George Moschetas, Director of Product at Kaizen Gaming, the parent company of Betano. GeoComply says it will continue expanding its investment in Brazil as the country's newly regulated betting market develops.
