Microblink is the Identity Intelligence OS that establishes Know Your Actor: control over people and agents, how risk is assessed, and how decisions are made across digital journeys. Built for an adversarial AI era, Microblink replaces static verification with continuous identity control. As the only solution spanning IDs, biometrics, and payment cards, Microblink delivers a real-time command center where signals, policies, and decisioning can be calibrated with granular precision. Companies use Microblink to adapt faster than fraud, optimize outcomes over time, and enforce trust at scale across onboarding, authentication, and every moment in between. In 2025, Microblink processed 2.9 billion identities across 195+ countries/territories. Its proprietary Fraud Lab generates 100,000+ images monthly for training and testing models, achieving 100% deepfake detection in DHS-powered testing.
