SmartSearch Partners with Daon to Add Biometric Verification to ID Platform

SmartSearch has partnered with Daon to integrate biometric identity authentication into its SmartDoc platform, expanding its digital identity verification capabilities for regulated industries. The collaboration aims to improve onboarding speed, compliance, and fraud prevention in sectors such as financial services, legal, and real estate.

The partnership builds on SmartSearch’s existing SmartDoc solution, originally developed to help businesses meet Know Your Customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) obligations. With Daon’s biometric technology embedded, the platform will now offer identity verification backed by advanced facial recognition and liveness detection, designed to detect and prevent fraud while maintaining a smooth customer experience.

Daon will deliver its identity orchestration platform, TrustX, to power the integration. “Using identity verification and biometric authentication is key to building trust in the customer onboarding process,” said Clive Bourke, Daon’s President for EMEA & APAC. “We are delighted to have been selected by SmartSearch to provide our identity orchestration platform, TrustX for its SmartDoc solution and look forward to working together to enable businesses in regulated sectors to validate customer identities. Through this partnership, businesses can have peace of mind that they are not just detecting fraud, but preventing it, all while meeting their ongoing AML, KYC and KYB regulatory requirements and reducing the risk of non-compliance penalties.”

SmartSearch has previously introduced tools like the TripleCheck platform, which combines multi-layered risk assessment with identity verification. The addition of biometric features to SmartDoc is expected to further reduce onboarding friction while ensuring regulatory compliance for high-risk sectors.

Daon brings a long track record in digital identity, having supported major banks and enterprises globally. The company has also partnered with financial institutions in emerging markets, such as in Nigeria, to roll out biometric onboarding and authentication solutions at scale.
