Trulioo Wins Innovation in Anti-Fraud Award | 2016 Fintech Innovation Awards

On April 13, 2016, 500 of the best and brightest innovators in finance packed The Brewery in central London to attend the 2016 Fintech Innovation Awards, the annual celebration of the most innovative financial technology projects and pioneers. The awards were hosted by Julia Streets, founder and CEO of Streets Consulting, who welcomed Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP, Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General as a guest speaker.

At the awards ceremony, Trulioo was presented with the “Innovation in Anti-Fraud/Cyber Security” award for its global identity verification platform/API, GlobalGateway. Trulioo’s VP of Sales, Amy Penn, collected the award on behalf of the company.

“We are truly honored to receive this prestigious award,” said Zac Cohen, General Manager at Trulioo. “Fintech continues to be at the forefront of innovation, and that requires equally innovative RegTech solutions for risk management, security, and fraud. Our Compliance-as-a-Service technology addresses that need, enabling pioneering technologies to grow their businesses and protect their users on a global scale.”

GlobalGateway connects Trulioo clients to more than one hundred data sources in over 40 countries to provide instant ID verification for over 4 billion consumers, with a special focus on emerging markets where many people have little to no access to the traditional banking system. By comparing registration information against information collected and hosted by trusted and secure data sources, GlobalGateway provides real-time identity verification around the world through a single integration.

This year’s award categories honor the highest achievements in the global fintech space, and reflect the exciting innovations driving the sector.
