## Real-time identity validation from Incode to be integrated into Experian Ascend

An announcement from **Experian**, a data broker and consumer credit reporting company headquartered in Ireland, says **identity verification from Incode Technologies has been integrated** into the Experian Ascend platform, to strengthen protection against synthetic identity and application fraud and improve accuracy in detection and workforce identity.

Per the release, Incode’s identity validation and **real-time metadata analysis** will be an optional component within **Experian’s CrossCore Document Verification** suite in North America, with global expansion planned. The integration will enable the verifying and connecting of identity elements such as **government-issued IDs, facial recognition, liveness checks** and real time metadata.

“We’re thrilled to partner with **Experian** to help power their platform with the most advanced AI identity verification technology on the market,” says **Ricardo Amper**, CEO of Incode.

“In a world where **deepfakes, AI-driven fraud, and agentic AI** are evolving at unprecedented speed, improved protections are critical. Together, we’re addressing the most prevalent fraud vectors with unmatched speed, security, and accuracy – while keeping the user experience seamless and intuitive.”

Senior VP of Global Partnerships and Commercialization at Experian Marika Vilen says that, “by integrating Incode’s cutting-edge identity verification technology into the Ascend Platform, we’re empowering organizations to make **faster, smarter decisions** while tailoring their **fraud and risk strategies** with unprecedented agility and precision.”

The collaboration will “enable seamless, **secure and efficient identity validation** for over 1,800 global clients across industries including financial services, automotive, healthcare and digital marketing.”

**Incode** recently acquired **AuthenticID**. In a piece for Biometric Update noting the deal, **Ricardo Amper** writes that “today, AI-powered attacks such as deepfake toolchains spin up faces and voices on demand, and agentic systems probe defenses at machine speed. In this new tempo, **the first control surface is authentication**, and the only sustainable answer is certainty delivered in milliseconds.”
