The story
Acuant is an identity verification and KYC/AML compliance infrastructure provider. Originally focused on document-centric identity verification (AssureID, IDScan), it expanded into biometrics and liveness detection, and was ultimately acquired by GBG plc. Its products — including AssureID, IDology, AcuFill, and MedicScan — serve financial institutions, fintechs, and other regulated industries for AML/KYC compliance. The IBSIntelligence listing confirms its positioning as a KYC/AML partner, e.g. for Mexican neobank Albo.
