KuppingerCole Recognizes Regula as One of the Innovation Leaders in Identity Verification
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regula, a global developer of forensic devices and identity verification (IDV) solutions, has made its inaugural appearance in the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Identity Verification 2025. Mentioned in the Innovation Leaders category, the company is recognized for its 100% in-house R&D, forensic-grade technology, global document coverage, and advanced liveness detection capabilities. Regula debuts in KuppingerCole's Leadership Compass, named an Innovation Leader for its powerful in-house verification tech and global ID coverage. Share Specializing in IDV and cybersecurity industry analysis, KuppingerCole forecasts that the global IDV market will grow from $18.4 billion in 2025 to $50.07 billion by 2030, driven by increasing identity fraud, compliance requirements, user expectations, and technological advancements. As identity verification rapidly shifts toward fully remote and automated environments, innovation has become a key differentiator. According to KuppingerCole, innovation leaders in IDV are defined by taking a customer-oriented upgrade approach, delivering customer-requested and forward-thinking features, while ensuring seamless compatibility with existing systems. Positioning Regula in the Innovation Leaders category, KuppingerCole analysts highlight: 'Regula's products are mature and often used to supplement other identity verification vendors' offerings. While not as feature complete as other offerings, Regula is a best-of-breed document and biometric verification solution with strong global coverage. With expertise across diverse industries and a global reach, Regula is positioned as a verification provider with in-house expertise for adaptable and scalable solutions.' In their Leadership Compass, KuppingerCole analysts pay special attention to the fact that IDV vendors have in-house technology development, strong data privacy policies, wide geographical coverage for their ID databases, and automation and machine learning (ML) to facilitate processes and user experience. On these fronts, Regula stands out by: Best-of-breed on-premises document and biometric verification solution. Comprehensive ID template database made of 15,000+ templates from 252 countries and territories. In-house R&D capabilities with significant domain-specific expertise. Advanced liveness detection technology supporting enhanced security. A mature organization with products often used to supplement other IDV vendor offerings. At the heart of Regula's recognition are its flagship software products, which serve clients in finance, government, healthcare, education, aviation, and more. Regula Document Reader SDK provides automated reading and comprehensive verification of all types of identity documents. It reads data in all document zones, verifies security features—including dynamic ones such as holograms—and cross-checks all the data to spot forgery. For biometric checks, Regula Face SDK enables real-time face matching, image quality assessment, and both passive and active liveness detection—the latter tested and certified under iBeta's Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) Level 1 and 2. The solution supports 1:1 face matching and 1:n face identification with advanced spoof detection via texture and movement analysis, using both 2D and 3D methods. Importantly, Regula's solutions are designed for privacy-first deployments. All biometric templates are managed locally by the customer, with no data processed or stored by Regula. The face-matching algorithms undergo continuous testing and are benchmarked through programs like the NIST Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT). 'Being named an Innovation Leader by KuppingerCole is a significant milestone for us. It highlights our decades-long commitment to building all our solutions in-house, from document verification to biometrics, and doing so with the precision and trustworthiness that customers demand. As identity verification principles and standards rapidly evolve, our focus remains the same: delivering technology that's not only robust but also deeply practical, scalable, and privacy-conscious,' says Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula.

European Fintech Company iCard Achieves Secure Customer Verification in Under 60 Seconds with Regula's Solutions
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- iCard, a leading European e-money institution, has successfully upgraded its customer checks with Regula's advanced biometric and document verification technologies. By integrating Regula Face SDK and Regula Document Reader SDK with its KYC (Know Your Customer) and risk assessment systems, iCard has moved to speedy, automated verification with improved fraud detection, and enhanced the overall experience for customers in 30+ countries. As a licensed fintech organization, iCard must comply with strict European KYC regulations while maintaining a robust risk assessment system alongside low-effort customer experience. Prior to implementing Regula's solutions, manual verification processes led to inefficiencies, longer wait times, increased fraud, and potential friction for users. Customers often had to re-upload photos or wait for manual reviews, causing delays—especially outside business hours. Additionally, iCard needed a more comprehensive document verification system that was capable of recognizing a broader range of ID types. The Regula Solution: Fast and Fraud-Free Identity Verification To modernize and automate its verification process, iCard selected Regula's complete solution for document and biometric verification for its industry-leading accuracy, ease of integration, and ability to meet the company's specific requirements. Regula Face SDK: Integrated into the iCard Digital Wallet app (Android and iOS), it provides fast and reliable biometric verification when a user logs in or performs a money transaction. The solution conducts instant liveness detection and face matching, preventing fraud attempts, including presentation attacks, deepfakes, or injected videos. Regula Document Reader SDK: Deployed in iCard's back-office system, it automatically authenticates ID cards, passports, and residence permits, including previously unsupported paper-based IDs. Regula's solution reads and authenticates data from multiple document zones, including MRZs (machine-readable zones), RFID chips, and barcodes, and cross-validates the information to detect any inconsistencies that may indicate fraud. Tangible Business Benefits The project was completed in just one month, and the impact has been immediate: Instant identity verification – Customers can now authenticate their identity in under a minute. Reduced operational costs – Automated verification processes have minimized manual reviews. Enhanced fraud prevention – Advanced biometric and document verification strengthen security measures. Increased conversion rates – Faster verification leads to a smoother onboarding experience and reduced drop-off rates. 'Implementing Regula Face SDK and Regula Document Reader SDK has optimized our internal processes while ensuring a seamless experience for iCard Digital Wallet customers. The integration was completed in a short period, resulting in fast and secure identity verification, improved operational efficiency, and reduced fraud risks—all while boosting customer satisfaction,' says Gabriela Anastasova, Chief Product Officer at iCard. 'In today's fintech landscape, balancing security and user convenience is critical. Customers expect seamless access, while businesses must comply with strict regulations and defend against sophisticated fraud. We are proud to support iCard in finding that perfect balance. Our solutions ensure that every identity check is robust, automated, and frictionless, allowing fintech innovators like iCard to scale securely and efficiently,' comments Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula.
