Tracking fintech, banking & financial services innovations since 1994
Credit union credit card issuer Collabria Financial Services has teamed up with digital identity verification fintech Trulioo. The Canada-based card issuer will leverage Trulioo to streamline the verification process for new cardholders.
With Trulioo’s verification capabilities, Collabria will enhance its ability to provide fast, compliant, and automated onboarding experiences. Trulioo will fully automate Collabria’s Know Your Business (KYB) review process, complementing its existing Know Your Client (KYC) workflows.
This is particularly impactful given Collabria’s vast reach, serving 98% of Canadian credit unions, which means the benefits of this partnership will extend to millions of credit union members
“The partnership with Trulioo marks a pivotal step forward in enhancing our security measures, while delivering a more streamlined, customer-centric process,” said Collabria CEO Jean-Marc Handfield. “With their cutting-edge technology, we’re elevating our measures against fraud and ensuring a faster and most importantly, safer, more secure experience for our cardholders.”
Trulioo helps organizations verify over 5 billion people by providing real-time verification for a range of identification documents and business entities. Its platform supports more than 13,000 ID documents and 700 million business entities across 195 countries. Additionally, Trulioo conducts checks against over 6,000 watchlists to ensure comprehensive verification.
“At Trulioo, our focus is on providing industry-leading solutions that meet the evolving needs of the payments industry,” said Trulioo CEO Steve Munford. “By combining our intelligent technology with Collabria’s expertise, we’re confident in our ability to enhance their verification processes, improve onboarding outcomes, and open windows of possibilities for their partners and members.”
Earlier this year, Trulioo partnered with Mastercard to integrate Mastercard’s identity solutions into its Person Match and Risk Intelligence products. This collaboration provides Trulioo with access to identity and risk scores through a customizable, user-friendly dashboard, expanding its offerings beyond API-based products and further streamlining its onboarding processes.
Headquartered in Canada and founded in 2011, Trulioo has raised $475 million. The company has demoed at 10 Finovate events, most recently showcasing its identity platform at FinovateEurope 2023.

“Trulioo is proud to partner with Mastercard and shares their dedication to industry-leading business verification and fraud prevention,”said Trulioo CEO Steve Munford.“As organizations navigate the complexities of the digital payments industry, fraud and business identity theft are constant threats. This is a pivotal milestone in our joint endeavor that will pave the way for a more secure global digital landscape.”
Mastercard will also see benefits from the strategic partnership. Trulioo’s global business identity verification services will enhance Mastercard’s Onboard Risk Check product by adding a layer of assurance to merchant and consumer onboarding solutions, helping to mitigate risk, reduce fraud, and increase trust in payments made across the globe.
“The digital economy thrives when people trust it and trust each other,” said Mastercard executive vice president, Identity Products, and Innovation Dennis Gamiello. “The ability to verify people are who they say they are instills confidence on both sides of digital interactions. Together with Trulioo, we are fueling the connections that make a vibrant digital economy possible.”
Canada-based Trulioo was founded in 2011 to help organizations navigate compliance by offering real-time verification of more than 13,000 ID documents and 700 million business entities across the globe, while checking against more than 6,000 watchlists. The company has raised $475 million.

Truliooannounced today that J.P. Morgan Payments has tapped it for fraud prevention. JPM Payments will leverage Trulioo’s consumer and business verification tools.
“We chose [Trulioo] because of its breadth of personally identifiable data sources, impressive match rates, and global footprint,” said J.P. Morgan Payments Managing Director- Global Head of Trust & Safety Ryan Schmiedl. “Trulioo has the trusted authentication and verification experience we want to offer clients and additional layers of protection from fraud during the onboarding experience and beyond.”
JPM, which processes more than $9 trillion in payments each day in over 160 countries and 120 currencies, will leverage Trulioo’s global payments and trust and safety models. Specifically, JPM will use Trulioo’s Person Match and Identity Document Verification to offer verification of both consumers and businesses.
“With real-time access to hundreds of government registries, public records, data sources and document types, we can verify people and businesses globally, leaving no space for bad actors and, ultimately, help J.P. Morgan clients adhere to the highest of standards, no matter where their clients operate,” said Trulioo CEO Steve Munford.
Canada-based Trulioo, which was founded in 2011, helps organization navigate compliance by offering real-time verification of more than five billion people and 700 million business entities worldwide. Last month, Trulioo added intelligent transaction routing to its identity verification orchestration platform. The company has raised $475 million.
A new survey from identity verification platform Trulioo reveals that nearly 80% of responding organizations have suffered from business identity theft. Business identity theft involves defrauding, extorting, or stealing money from a company. The data comes from Trulioo’s Global Know Your Business (KYB) Survey, conducted last month. The review included responses from 705 professionals in banking, payments, e-commerce, trading, health care, and the public sector.
“Our global KYB survey shows that 79% of companies have been affected by business identity theft,” Trulioo Chief Product Officer Michael Ramsbacker said. “Fraudsters all too often find an open door by using stolen business identities.”
In addition to the high number of companies reporting experience with business identity theft, the survey noted that more than a third of those responding (34%) said that they were not happy with their current business verification vendor. These respondents cited issues with data accuracy, international coverage, and meeting compliance regulations as the major challenges to effective and efficient business verification.
To this end, Ramsbacker underscored that Trulioo’s approach helps businesses deal with this specific attack vector by enabling companies to conduct business verification as part of the onboarding process. “(Our) platform allows our customers to deploy onboarding workflows that verify the user submitting the business information is affiliated with the business,” Ramsbacker explained. “Trulioo provides multilayered business verification and global data sources, all through one platform, to help organizations thwart those fraud threats and achieve compliance in countries around the world.”
More than 50% of survey respondents came from businesses reporting annual sales of more than $500 million. A majority of the survey respondents reported verifying more than 100 businesses a month. The survey respondents were geographically diverse, hailing from North America, Central and South America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
A Finovate alum since 2014, Trulioo won Best of Show for its demo at FinovateEurope last year. The company returned to the Finovate stage this March, showing how its global identity platform provided a comprehensive suite of services to verify both individuals and businesses. More recently, Trulioo launched its Advanced Global Person Match Services with Intelligent Routing offering. This solution adds to the capabilities of Truiloo’s Workflow Studio, a component of the company’s identity platform.
“The Trulioo breakthrough approach eliminates the need for redundant, complex multivendor verification systems,” Ramsbacker explained, “enabling organizations to quickly and intelligently onboard customers and gain a competitive advantage.”
Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Trulioo provides real-time identity verification of more than five billion people and 700 million businesses around the world. Founded in 2011, the company has raised more than $474 million in funding from investors including Goldman Sachs and Blumberg Capital. Steve Munford is CEO.
Markets around the world have shifted from a growth-at-all-costs mentality to a more targeted approach that emphasizes onboarding the right customers while decreasing acquisition costs.

In this webinar, we’ll share how some of the world’s leading fintechs have optimized their onboarding to realize double-digit verification rate increases in key markets, improve onboarding rates, and gain significant operational savings.
Zac Cohen from Trulioo will share firsthand insights, including:

Trulioo unveiled a new global identity verification platform this week.
The new offering combines both individual and business verification with no-code workflow building, low-code integrations, and more into a single platform.
A Finovate alums since 2014, Trulioo won Best of Show in its most recent Finovate appearance at FinovateEurope last March.
Identity verification specialist Trulioolaunched a new global identity verification platform this week. The new offering combines individual and business verification solutions with no-code workflow building, low-code integrations, and more in a single platform. The platform will give companies the ability to provide a streamlined onboarding experience, as well as the kind of intuitive user experiences that help build both trust and inclusivity.
“Trulioo is the identity platform businesses turn to in order to solve the inherent complexity in onboarding customers globally,” Trulioo CEO Steve Munford said. “We enable businesses to offer their goods and services in nearly every country in the world and remain compliant. We provide our customers with industry-leading capabilities backed by best-in-class customer success so they can focus on their business and customers.”
With a single contract, the new offering will enable Trulioo customers to readily access:
Personally identifiable information matching
Identity document verification
Utility data for proof of address
Business verification for in-depth person-of-significant-control
Ultimate-beneficial-owner verification
Watchlist screening and monitoring
Anti-fraud capabilities
“Trulioo is the only company that delivers an integrated, high-performance platform with comprehensive capabilities, out-of-the-box processes and models, easy no-code configurability, and the ability to customize and amend functionality,” Trulioo Chief Product Officer Michael Ramsbacker said. “We are giving our customers the power to create verification workflows that best meet their needs with just one contract and in one intuitive platform.”
Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Trulioo has been a Finovate alum since 2014. Demoing its latest technology on the Finovate stage most recently at FinovateEurope 2022 in London, Trulioo won Best of Show for its GlobalGateway Business Verification to Identity Verification workflow. This functionality, using Trulioo’s GlobalGateway Orchestration, enabled easy-to-do business verification, simple verification of owner identities, and world-class orchestration and workflow building.
The company’s new product launch this week comes as a growing number of businesses are pursuing opportunities in online commerce, mobile payments, and digital currencies. And while these avenues represent significant innovation and progress, they also bring with them new concerns over fraud and financial crime. Being able to know your customer, know your business, identify money laundering and more have become critical – and complex – compliance issues for businesses of all sizes. As such, it is as important for growing companies to have a verification solution that is customizable to their particular needs and workflows, while at the same time providing the requisite scale to support rapidly expanding enterprises. This is especially true when it comes to international expansion.
Trulioo’s platform reaches more than five billion consumers in 195 countries, and enables companies to access more than 450 data sources globally to provide broad, comprehensive identity and business verification. The company has raised more than $474 million in funding from investors including TCV, which led Trulioo’s $394 million Series D round in 2021; and Goldman Sachs, which led the company’s $52 million Series C in 2019.
Companies around the world are facing increased pressure to ensure they are monitoring and screening new and existing customers against applicable sanctions lists. While having a comprehensive screening program is nothing new for regulated companies, the current regulatory climate has demonstrated that companies need to be prepared to balance the need for increased speed and thorough compliance.
As a global service provider, Trulioo must continuously innovate to meet an increasingly diverse range of regulatory compliance requirements that its customers face. Whether it’s data protection or Anti-Money Laundering (AML), the pace and scale of change for laws and regulations across the globe continue to accelerate.
Managing a rapidly evolving landscape with the updated GlobalGateway
Without a way to accurately verify identities, the digital world is vulnerable to becoming a place where criminals will have the upper hand. To protect people and information, a robust digital identity solution provides a wide range of benefits including reduced onboarding costs, mitigating breaches and the fines they incur. Ultimately, digital identity is the foundation for building meaningful and sustainable relationships with customers.
This is why Trulioo has released its latest GlobalGateway platform update: to enable businesses in a wide range of sectors to protect customers and themselves from rapidly-changing risks, and to ensure they meet all regulatory requirements.
From straight-forward eIDV to document verification, GlobalGateway has always been designed to provide customers with any combination of verification methods. The platform now delivers new, innovative capabilities to address the changing needs of customers and the market as a whole, both at the point of onboarding and beyond.
The updated platform comes with three key new capabilities: Advanced Watchlist, UtilityID, and enhanced Business Verification. These new services streamline the onboarding of users and businesses, as well as providing continuous monitoring for fraud, money laundering, and illicit behavior throughout the customer lifecycle.
Removing friction in document verification with UtilityID
UtilityID is a consent-based identity verification service that uses utility provider data, such as bills and records, to verify addresses. It removes the need for the manual download, upload, and scanning of documents and other high-friction document verification processes. With UtilityID, Trulioo customers can meet Proof of Address compliance requirements in real-time, provide a faster onboarding experience, gain a higher level of address accuracy, and significantly reduce operation times associated with manual utility document verification and review.
UtilityID is offered via the same API as all other GlobalGateway solutions, making integration easy for customers and giving them full control over the user journey and experience for the businesses they serve.
Introducing Advanced Watchlist
Also updated is the Trulioo AML Watchlist, which provides increased coverage and the ability to conduct all forms of watchlist tracking. It is an ongoing monitoring service performing Know Your Customer (KYC), sanctions, and AML checks that ensure customer userbases are at the lowest risk of:
Sanction list presence
Fraud
Money laundering
Corruption
Financial crimes
Terrorism
Some examples of the watchlists Trulioo screens against include: OFAC, U.N. Terrorism list, EU Sanction Lists, Her Majesty’s Treasury, and INTERPOL.
As one of the most complete watchlist services on the market, GlobalGateway Watchlist is the AML compliance solution of choice for the world’s largest global marketplaces, financial institutions, and trading platforms. It’s fully integrated into the GlobalGateway platform and connects to customers’ eIDV onboarding journeys via a single API integration. AML Watchlist ensures the integrity of your userbase at the point of onboarding and continuously thereafter, as it’s able to screen and continuously monitor against 6,000+ global watchlists and 20,000+ Adverse Media lists.
This improved capability increases accuracy and minimizes manual checks and reviews, potentially saving customers millions of dollars in increased operational efficiency and reduced manual oversight.
Enjoy Enhanced Business Verification
GlobalGateway also allows companies to verify a business’ details anywhere in the world, from high-level data to stringent Ultimate Beneficial Owner verification. It leverages revolutionary intelligence to address the complex challenges of conducting business at an international level, including managing varying regulations, diverse standards for Business IDs, addresses and local languages, as well as automatically selecting the best-suited source of information. Trulioo’s unmatched global network of data sources allows Know Your Business (KYB) customers to easily access accurate and up-to-date information that supports compliance requirements and due diligence.
An updated results panel also allows customers to rely on a single, authoritative view of the businesses being verified. This removes the need for businesses to spend time figuring out which business they need to do a deeper level of due diligence with. Trulioo Business Verification customers will also benefit from improved performance and data quality. All of this is supported by a revamped API guide with new FAQs and best practices.
With Trulioo, no matter what your needs are or where you want to conduct business, you’ll receive a made-to-measure solution, built with purpose, for you. For more information, or to book a demonstration of the Trulioo GlobalGateway platform, please visit www.trulioo.com.
“What mmob does is solve the pain points on two sides of an ecosystem. On one side for third party product providers and service providers, we integrate all of their products and services onto our network. Then we also make that seamlessly accessible through to larger distribution channels so their products and services can be integrated natively.”
“(Identity verification) is very challenging, especially when you look at it as a global problem. Every region, every geography has a little bit of a twist. People may not have consistent addresses in some countries, or may not have a track record with a financial institution or a utility compared to some other places. So identity verification is very, very difficult and made much more complicated if you operate in a lot of countries or incorporate a lot of data sources.”
