iProov, a science-based biometric identity solutions provider, and Biometrid, Portugal’s market leader in digital identity verification, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver secure and user-friendly digital identity verification solutions across Portugal and other key international regions. This collaboration will combine iProov’s advanced facial biometric solutions with Biometrid’s comprehensive identity orchestration platform, offering organizations across a range of sectors, including government and financial services, the ability to combat fraud and enhance user experience.
This partnership addresses a growing market need to tackle the escalating wave of online fraud and to ensure that online transactions take place with the utmost efficiency, security, and reliability.

By integrating iProov’s Express Liveness and Dynamic Liveness solutions, Biometrid will further strengthen its platform with genuine presence assurance, ensuring that a user is the right person, a real person, and authenticating in real-time. This enhanced security will protect against deepfakes, sophisticated spoofing attacks, and other emerging threats.
“We are thrilled to partner with iProov to bring the most secure and user-friendly digital identity verification solutions to Portugal and the other global territories in which we operate,” said Frederico Costa, CEO of Biometrid. “This partnership underscores our commitment to providing our clients with the best possible technology to protect their businesses and customers from fraud.”
