ID-Pal Unveils Reusable KYC Solution

ID-Pal Unveils Reusable KYC Solution
  • Identity verification innovator ID-Pal has unveiled its reusable KYC solution, ID-Pal Once.
  • The new offering streamlines the verification process, enabling users to complete identity verification as much as 5x faster.
  • Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, ID-Pal most recently demoed its technology at FinovateEurope 2025.

AI-powered identity verification specialist ID-Pal has introduced its reusable KYC solution ID-Pal Once. The offering will enable organizations to streamline identity verification processes, control costs, and enable them to focus on growing their businesses. As a reusable identity verification solution, ID-Pal Once enables returning users to complete the verification process up to five times faster. The company estimates that this produces an 80% time savings.

“With ID-Pal Once, we’re not just speeding up KYC, we’re removing unnecessary friction, ID-Pal Once is an incredibly powerful solution that meets and exceeds the needs of organizations and customer expectations, underpinned by our existing full suite of world-class biometric, document, and database checks,” ID-Pal Co-Founder and Chief Technical Officer Robert O’Farrell said. “ID-Pal Once ensures that only genuine, verified identities are reused and importantly, doesn’t use humans to access the data. This is about secure identity reuse that respects the time of organizations and customers and respects your data.”

ID-Pal Once works by building profiles from previously-verified identity data, re-validating the data against the organization’s risk rules so as not to require users to repeat the data submission process. An accurate, secure, and real-time liveness check is all that is required in order for the technology to recognize returning users and reduce the verification process to a matter of seconds. The solution scales as organizations grow, allowing companies to continue to rely on consistent, policy-aligned identity verifications across regions, products, and channels. Deployed to power step-up authentication efforts for high-risk or high-value transactions, time-based re-checks for compliance requirements, as well as instant re-verification of returning customers, ID-Pal Once is already being used by the company’s customers in verticals ranging from financial services to telco to gaming.

“ID-Pal Once marks a major leap forward in how organizations can manage identity verification,” ID-Pal Head of Product Rob Sheehan said. “By enabling secure re-verification linked to biometrics, we’re eliminating redundant steps, reducing operational costs, and dramatically improving the user experience. It’s a win for both our partners and their customers.”

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, ID-Pal made its Finovate debut at FinovateFall 2024 and returned to the Finovate stage a year later for FinovateEurope in London. In its most recent appearance, ID-Pal showed how its platform uses 100% AI-powered technology to provide real-time verification that detects AI-generated documents, deepfakes, injection attacks, and more.

ID-Pal’s product news comes a month after the firm announced a partnership with UK-based financial services consultancy, Albany Beck. The partnership will combine Albany Beck’s AML/KYC Academy with ID-Pal’s identity verification and AML screening technology. The Academy is designed to instruct consultants on best-practices and provide them with practical skills to review AML/KYC processes and ensure regulatory compliance.

“Our partnership with ID-Pal marks a significant step forward in enhancing KYC/AML programs. By combining our training and development expertise with ID-Pal’s advanced technology, we can deliver unparalleled value to our clients, providing experts who will continue to deliver immediate impact, protecting the firms we work with and their end customers,” Albany Beck Partner Head of AML/KYC Emer McPartland said.

ID-Pal Forges Strategic Partnership with CLOWD9
  • Identity verification specialist ID-Pal announced a global strategic partnership with CLOWD9.
  • The partnership will integrate ID-Pal’s AI-powered identity verification technology into CLOWD9’s payment solutions portfolio.
  • ID-Pal made its Finovate debut at FinovateFall 2024 in New York.

Fresh off its Finovate debut at FinovateFall this month, identity verification specialist ID-Pal has announced a global strategic partnership with CLOWD9. Courtesy of the partnership, CLOWD9 will offer ID-Pal’s AI-powered identity verification technology via its payment solutions portfolio.

“This strategic partnership will allow CLOWD9 clients to access both a compelling end-to-end identity solution and an AML screening solution with advanced AI-fraud detection capabilities,” CLOWD9 CEO and Co-Founder Suresh Vaghjiani said.

Using a combination of document, database, and biometrics checks, ID-Pal enables businesses to verify the identity of their customers in real-time. Available via API, SDK, or through the Salesforce App Exchange, ID-Pal’s technology detects AI-generated documents, deepfakes, and injection attacks, providing advanced fraud detection without requiring direct access to customer data. ID-Pal also streamlines OFAC, AML, and KYC processes into a single compliant workflow to ensure a comprehensive audit trail.

“We’re delighted to be adding our award-winning identity verification solution to the CLOWD9 technology portfolio,” ID-Pal Enterprise Sales Manager Mark O’Hara said. “Together we can help financial institutions adapt and thrive in a new world of digital payments and enhanced security by democratizing secure, robust fraud prevention tools.”

The partnership with CLOWD9 advances the company’s mission to revolutionize the payment industry through a combination of advanced payment processing and AI-powered identity verification. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in London, CLOWD9 was among the first B Corp certified payments companies. The firm offers a cloud-native, decentralized issuer payments processing platform that serves challenger, consumer, and SME banks; e-wallets and crypto exchanges; virtual and corporate card programs; and more.

ID-Pal is not the only Finovate alum that CLOWD9 has teamed up with in 2024; the company announced a partnership with reconciliation and reporting services provider Kani Payments in June. Like ID-Pal, Kani is a relative newcomer to Finovate, debuting at FinovateSpring last year. Additionally, this week’s news from CLOWD9 comes just days after the company introduced new Chief Technology Officer Paul Hansford. Hansford comes to CLOWD9 after six years as head of software engineering for payment company Thredd.

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, ID-Pal made its Finovate debut at FinovateFall 2024. At the conference, company CEO and Founder Colum Lyons demoed ID-Pal’s technology that uses “pure AI, not people,” to provide real-time identity verification. In his remarks, Lyons highlighted the fact that many legacy vendors in the space rely as much on people for identity verification as they rely on technology. In contrast, he said, ID-Pal’s 100% AI-powered platform leverages 160+ trusted data sources and 7,000+ identity documents to provide more accurate results and greater efficiency.
