Montreal-based AcuityTec, a provider of fraud defense and compliance solutions, has announced an expansion of its document verification and liveness capabilities, specifically targeting the growing regulatory and security demands in Latin America’s gaming, fintech, and payment service provider (PSP) markets.
With stricter identity verification rules being enforced across LATAM, AcuityTec is offering businesses more flexible onboarding and re-authentication options. This aims to enhance security, combat fraud, and streamline compliance.
Key aspects of AcuityTec’s enhanced solutions include:
* Comprehensive Document Verification: Their solution offers real-time verification of government-issued IDs across LATAM markets, including passports, driver’s licenses, and national identity cards. This is powered by AI-driven analysis to detect forged documents, tampering, and expired credentials, while also extracting and validating identity data through OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
* Integrated and Standalone Liveness Checks: Liveness detection is now integrated into AcuityTec’s document verification flow. This confirms real user presence during onboarding and helps prevent identity spoofing and account fraud. It also allows for periodic biometric checks to re-verify user presence before high-risk actions such as large withdrawals or sensitive data access.
* Meeting Regulatory Demands: AcuityTec’s Managing Director, Alfredo Solis, emphasized that LATAM’s evolving regulations demand identity verification processes that go beyond static document checks. Their optimized solution provides businesses with the tools to meet these compliance requirements while improving security and user trust.
* Adaptive Fraud Defense: At its core, AcuityTec’s engine continuously monitors transactional behavior and user activity to detect emerging threats and uncover patterns of identity fraud, synthetic accounts, payment manipulation, and account associations.
This enhancement builds on previous efforts by AcuityTec to strengthen its Fraud and AML Orchestration Hub for LATAM’s iGaming and digital payments markets. The company’s platform supports thorough cross-referencing of customer data against government, utility, and credit sources across countries like Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru.
