Not only do these figures highlight Regula's increasing prominence in these markets, but also underscore the global trust in the company’s technologies for secure and reliable identity verification. What sets Regula apart is its independence from third-party solutions, with all technologies developed internally. Regula offers a single-vendor solution for identity verification, combining biometric (Regula Face SDK) and document (Regula Document Reader SDK) checks with advanced authenticity validation, as well as forensic tools for detailed analysis.

The rise of full authenticity checks

The results of the survey conducted by Regula at the beginning of 2023 highlight an increase in identity fraud. The most prevalent form of fraudulent activity experienced by organizations was the use of fake or modified physical documents. 26% of small and medium businesses (SMBs) and 38% of enterprises experienced more than 50 identity fraud incidents during the previous year. The cost was also significant, with 64% of all businesses reporting losses of at least $120,000, and 37% of the world’s largest businesses reporting losses of at least $480,000.

In response to the evolving landscape of digital fraud, Regula has intensively focused on enhancing its techniques aimed at validating document authenticity. Its advanced authentication method facilitates verification of ID security features, as well as document liveness validation. This processing scenario has seen astounding growth rates in the United States (367%), United Arab Emirates (400%), and United Kingdom (86%).

Strengthening security with cross-validation

Regula also reports a steady increase in the adoption of its cross-validation checks, which provide maximum confidence in the consistency and authenticity of identity document data. These checks help ensure data integrity by cross-comparing personal details or biometric information provided on an identification document.

Growth rates in this area are equally remarkable: United States – 156%, United Arab Emirates – 257%, United Kingdom – 244%.

Regula's extensive proprietary database, which includes more than 13,600 document templates from 249 countries and territories and supports over 138 languages, is central to the success of these checks.

Diverse user engagement across platforms

A key advantage of Regula's identity verification solutions is their compatibility across various platforms, allowing for seamless ID verification processes, whether on mobile, web, desktop, or passport reading devices.

The company's success is demonstrated through its provision of hardware and software solutions for digital identity verification, serving a worldwide network of more than 1,000 organizations and 80 border control authorities. Some of the world's most innovative and reputable organizations rely on Regula’s hardware and software solutions to solve a range of challenges. For example:
