IDnow has announced a strategic partnership with Keyless to strengthen trust across the digital identity lifecycle.
The collaboration will integrate IDnow’s identity verification and digital signature services with Keyless’ biometric multi-factor authentication, allowing organisations to enrol customers using IDnow and authenticate them through Keyless without additional steps.
This approach, described as ‘Continuous Trust’, enables biometric data captured during sign-up to be matched with biometric checks during high-risk actions like password recovery or changing personal details.
The need for continuous digital trust is growing as deepfakes and advanced fraud techniques challenge businesses across sectors. IDnow’s commitment to embedding trust throughout the customer journey aligns with Keyless’ privacy-focused biometric authentication, which uses a cryptographic approach to avoid storing biometric data.
IDnow CEO Andreas Bodczek said, “Trust is no longer a one-time checkpoint but a continuous process. Our partnership with Keyless enhances our ability to fight emerging fraud typologies amid a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, ensuring that digital identities remain secure and trustworthy throughout their lifecycle.”
Keyless offers multi-factor authentication in under 300 milliseconds, combining face recognition with device recognition to confirm that the device used during enrolment is the same one used in subsequent authentication.
Keyless COO and co-founder Fabian Eberle said, “One of the biggest questions we get is whether users need to enrol twice – with the IDV and with Keyless.
“Until recently, the answer was yes. But what’s pivotal about the partnership with IDnow is that we can silently enrol users into Keyless during the IDnow verification flow. It’s a game changer for reducing friction.”
IDnow, which operates across Germany, the UK, and France, offers a suite of AI-driven, SaaS-based identity solutions to empower enterprises with secure and scalable verification and fraud prevention tools.
