Incode Partners with Spectrum Edge to Power a World of Trust for Malaysian Enterprises with Automated Identity Verification

Incode, the next-generation identity verification platform, announced the appointment of Spectrum Edge as its first Malaysian reseller through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to bring one of the world’s most powerful identity solutions, Incode Omni, to Malaysia as it continues to rapidly expand across Asia Pacific.

Incode is a Fintech Power 50 company and industry leader in privacy-centric identity verification for global enterprises. The Omni platform is used by the world’s largest financial institutions, governments, marketplaces, hotels and hospitals to customize their user experience at scale, while drastically reducing security and fraud risk. With its unique passive liveness technology, word class facial recognition, and advanced deep learning techniques, Incode Omni meets the most stringent compliance and security standards for global brands such as Jumeirah^™ Hotels, Rappi, and Citi.

Malaysia is a key market for Incode and Spectrum Edge in Asia Pacific as the country’s digital economy continues to grow. The Malaysian government’s approach to boost the country’s economy could rely on fully leveraging digital technologies, to create an annual economic value of MYR 257.2 billion by 2030.

Nearly 90 per cent of the Malaysian population is expected to have access to the internet by 2025. In a step towards becoming a digitally driven country, the Malaysian government announced in 2021 that they aim to fully adopt identification technology to improve the IT systems and infrastructure of the national registration department.
