(Interac) today announced a collaboration with Incode Technologies, Inc. \u2013 a global leader in identity security and fraud prevention \u2013 to add advanced capabilities to Interac Verified\u2122 solutions. The enhancement strengthens the Interac\u00ae document verification service with iBeta Level 3-validated liveness and deepfake and injection-attack detection. In addition, Interac will hold exclusive Canadian rights to deliver document verification capabilities using Incode\u2019s technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Canada moves towards a digital\u2011by\u2011default economy, Interac is focused on making the shift safe and reliable at scale. Building on years of investment in verification by Interac, this agreement brings advanced capabilities to the Canadian market at an accessible price. It provides a cost-efficient path to expand high\u2011assurance identity checks to more businesses, from digital account openings and onboarding to credit applications and other high-risk transactions. The Incode integration enhances the existing document and liveness capabilities within the Interac document verification service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe goal is simple: build trust into digital interactions in Canada,\u201d said Fatema Pirone, Head, Verification at Interac. \u201cEnhancements to our document verification service within the Interac Verified suite is designed to deliver higher assurance and faster outcomes in a cost-efficient way, positioning it as a practical option for decision makers and allowing Canadian businesses to approve legitimate customers faster while stopping bad actors earlier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To deliver these improvements, Interac is integrating new capabilities from Incode into the Interac Verified suite including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Passive liveness detection<\/strong>: Independently validated to iBeta Level 3 on iOS and Android. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incode.com\/blog\/incode-ibeta-level3-announcement\">Incode is the first to achieve iBeta\u2019s highest level of identity security testing<\/a> with zero errors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deepsight<\/strong>: An intelligence orchestration that runs multiple layered detection tests to identify AI\u2011generated images or video, virtual camera feeds, and signs of device tampering. Used together, these controls help accelerate legitimate user verification while identifying potential impersonation attempts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fraud network intelligence: <\/strong>Businesses can opt in to receive network\u2011level risk signals across participating organizations to help inform fraud monitoring and spot emerging patterns earlier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Used together, these enhancements help organizations move customers through digital onboarding faster while reducing impersonation risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInterac plays a unique role in helping shape trusted digital experiences in Canada, and we\u2019re proud to support that mission with technology built for a new generation of identity threats,\u201d said Ricardo Amper, founder and CEO of Incode Technologies. \u201cBy combining identity verification with advanced defences against deepfakes, injection attacks and other sophisticated forms of impersonation, this collaboration helps bring stronger assurance to more Canadian businesses without adding unnecessary friction for legitimate users.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interac brings a system\u2011level vantage point as a Canadian\u2011owned and operated network with decades of experience delivering services at national scale. That history, expertise and network intelligence positions Interac to operate domestic verification that reflects how Canadian institutions work together, using privacy\u2011protective signals to raise confidence. That approach extends to data residency, which defaults to Canada, directly supporting digital sovereignty for Canadian operations. The outcome is practical: a safer, more digital ecosystem in Canada built on trusted, familiar experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The introduction of these capabilities will roll out on a phased basis, targeting a Q3 2026 launch date.<br><br><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Interac Corp.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interac empowers Canadians to transact digitally with confidence by providing payment and value exchange services.
