Insights

This strategic acquisition significantly strengthens RELX's position in the rapidly growing digital identity verification market, which is projected to reach $18.6 billion by 2026. By integrating IDVerse's AI-powered technology into its existing RiskNarrative platform and Dynamic Decision Platform, LexisNexis Risk Solutions is positioning itself as a leader in combating sophisticated fraud attempts, particularly AI-generated deepfakes.

The timing of this acquisition is particularly strategic, coinciding with the surge in AI-generated fraud attempts and increasing regulatory pressure on organizations to implement robust Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes. The integration of IDVerse's technology into LexisNexis' existing solutions will create a powerful end-to-end identity verification and fraud prevention platform, offering significant cross-selling opportunities across RELX's diverse client base.

The acquisition brings three key competitive advantages:

  • Enhanced AI capabilities for detecting sophisticated fraud attempts, particularly deepfakes
  • Expanded global coverage with verification capabilities for over 16,000 document types
  • Improved speed-to-market for fraud model updates through self-learning AI technology

For RELX investors, this acquisition represents a strategic enhancement to its recurring revenue model, as identity verification services typically generate steady subscription-based income. The integration into existing platforms suggests minimal disruption to current operations while providing immediate cross-selling opportunities to the existing client base.

Acquisition expands LexisNexis Risk Solutions' capabilities in risk and fraud solutions and enhances digital identity onboarding and identity verification through AI-powered technology

ATLANTA and LONDON, Feb. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LexisNexis® Risk Solutions, part of RELX, closed its acquisition of IDVerse™, a provider of AI-powered document authentication and fraud detection solutions. IDVerse is now part of the Business Services segment of LexisNexis Risk Solutions and will continue to be available within its LexisNexis® RiskNarrative® platform, LexisNexis® IDU®, and will be offered within its LexisNexis® Dynamic Decision Platform® as a stand-alone solution later this year. 

Founded in Australia and launched commercially in 2018, IDVerse uses AI to combat fraud and deepfakes. Its proprietary technology is powered by a deep neural network which verifies the authenticity of identity documents and, with consumer consent, matches the consumer's face to the photo on a document using biometric algorithms for identity verification and liveness detection to detect a fraudulent submission. IDVerse's technology is capable of verifying more than 16,000 types of identity documents globally across organizations in various industries and the public sector. 

Once integration is complete, LexisNexis Risk Solutions will offer clients even more robust risk insights to better protect consumers, promote financial inclusion for trusted individuals and help organizations globally maintain an optimal risk posture. 

Combining LexisNexis Risk Solutions' multi-layered identity verification tools with IDVerse's complementary AI-powered technology will address both evolving customer needs and emerging threats. Expanding global ID verification capabilities will bolster defenses against AI-generated fraud, while IDVerse's self-learning AI will ensure advanced fraud detection, faster fraud model updates and even more accurate identity verification.

Rick Trainor, CEO of Business Services at LexisNexis Risk Solutions, stated, "Anti-fraud capabilities need to advance as fast or faster than fraudsters innovate their tactics. AI-powered solutions are critical in defending against fraud, particularly AI-generated fraud such as deepfakes. IDVerse's accelerated innovation in this field is impressive, and I'm eager to see how our complementary cutting-edge solutions will combine to take our anti-fraud capabilities to new levels."

The terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
