DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fideo Intelligence, a real-time identity intelligence company, today announced significant enhancements to Fideo Verify™, its identity risk intelligence product, through an expanded network of identity data partnerships that provide broader coverage of validated identity records, household intelligence, address risk indicators, and Social Security number linkage data.

The expanded partner ecosystem strengthens Verify's ability to help organizations validate identity information, identify inconsistencies, detect fraud earlier, and make more confident decisions across onboarding, account access, payments, and other high-risk transactions.

"Fideo has long combined authoritative identity data with our patented identity graph and risk intelligence capabilities," said Chris Harrison, CEO of Fideo Intelligence. "This expansion is about increasing the breadth and depth of the identity intelligence available to our customers. By adding new sources of validated identity and intelligence, especially related to SSN data, we're able to deliver more comprehensive validation, stronger fraud detection, and greater confidence in identity decisions."

Verify gives fraud, risk, onboarding, and compliance teams a clearer view of identity risk before fraud creates downstream cost. The product evaluates submitted identity data and connected signals to determine whether identity elements are valid, whether identifiers are consistently linked to one another, whether an individual aligns with known household and address relationships, and whether any signals indicate elevated fraud risk.

The expanded partnership network provides additional validation and intelligence across key identity attributes, including individuals, households, names, addresses, Social Security number associations, phone numbers, email addresses, location data, professional records, digital intelligence, and network signals.

Verify runs hundreds of identity, digital, and risk checks through a single API call and organizes the results into thematic check packages that are easy to configure, understand, and operationalize. Customers can deploy the full Verify Suite or select the specific intelligence packages most relevant to their use case.

The newly expanded identity intelligence coverage enhances Verify's ability to validate identity elements, evaluate relationships between individuals and households, assess address quality and risk, verify SSN associations, and identify inconsistencies that may indicate fraud. These capabilities strengthen check packages across synthetic identity detection, validations, identity intelligence, global watch screening, threat intelligence, digital risk, email risk, phone intelligence, location intelligence, network intelligence, and fraud risk assessment.

The expanded check categories include:

• Synthetic: Whether submitted identity elements appear coherent, mismatched, fabricated, or assembled from unrelated identifiers
• Validations: Names, addresses, SSN-related inputs, and other identity elements can be validated against authoritative identity records
• Identity: Core identity risk, including deceased indicators, invalid SSNs, and known fraud associations
• Global Watch: Sanctions, OFAC, politically exposed person, and watchlist risk
• Threat Scan: Breach, dark web, malware, phishing, and compromised identity exposure
• Digital: Social, online, IP, and digital footprint signals
• Email: Email deliverability, age, domain risk, disposability, blocklists, and organizational alignment
• Phone: Phone validity, type, carrier, porting, DNO status, blocklists, and risky number behavior
• Location: Address validity, residency signals, country risk, and mismatches across address, phone, and IP data
• Network Intelligence: First-seen, last-seen, frequency, recency, and anomalous behavior patterns across Fideo’s network

Each Verify check is packaged thematically around the inputs provided and the connections Fideo can make through its patented identity graph. Customers can use the full Verify Suite or configure specific check packages based on their use case, allowing teams to add targeted intelligence without replacing existing fraud, KYC, AML, or onboarding systems.

Verify responses are designed to be both machine-readable and explainable. Customers receive structured check results, reason codes, and optional risk scoring that can support automated decisions, manual review workflows, step-up verification, account monitoring, and investigations.

Unlike static point-in-time verification tools, Verify evaluates the consistency, history, relationships, and risk profile of identity data across multiple sources and signals. By combining authoritative identity data, expanded validation partnerships, Fideo's patented identity graph, and dynamic risk intelligence, Verify helps organizations uncover fraud patterns that may not be visible through a single source while reducing friction for legitimate customers.

The enhanced Verify product is available now to customers and partners. For more information please visit fideo.ai/verify.
