Lahore-based Identity 360 Global, a venture of EPL Private Limited and provider of AI-driven digital identity solutions, has successfully completed over two million touchless biometric verifications for EasyPaisa, marking a notable development in Pakistan’s digital financial ecosystem.
The milestone reflects the growing reliance on advanced identity verification systems as digital banking, mobile wallets, and fintech platforms expand across the country. Identity 360 Global’s technology has also reportedly powered more than one billion biometric verifications globally, highlighting its use across multiple international markets and large-scale digital environments.
In Pakistan, secure identity verification has become a critical component of financial onboarding and fraud prevention. As more users access banking services remotely, institutions are increasingly adopting digital tools that streamline customer verification while maintaining high security standards.
The touchless biometric verification system enables users to confirm their identity without traditional physical interaction. The platform uses AI-based biometric capture and processing, while identity validation is integrated with NADRA’s identity infrastructure. It also includes OCR-based document processing, allowing automated extraction of user data from identity documents to speed up onboarding processes.
Additionally, the system supports QR code-based offline verification, enabling secure identity checks even in areas with limited or unstable internet connectivity. This feature is particularly important for expanding digital financial access to underserved and remote regions.
According to industry representatives, the system is designed to address modern security challenges such as deepfakes, synthetic identities, SIM-swap fraud, and account takeovers. These threats have become increasingly common in digital financial ecosystems worldwide, making robust identity verification tools essential for secure operations.
Company officials stated that the achievement demonstrates both scalability and reliability of the platform in real-world financial applications. The technology is being positioned as part of a broader digital identity infrastructure that aims to support secure onboarding and authentication across multiple sectors.
Identity 360 Global emphasized that its solutions are aligned with international security and biometric standards, including frameworks such as ISO/IEC benchmarks, NIST guidelines, FIDO principles, iBeta Level 2 certification standards, and MOSIP readiness. These certifications are widely used across global financial institutions, telecom operators, and government systems to ensure security and reliability in identity verification processes.
The deployment for EasyPaisa was facilitated through CBA – Digital Distribution Platform, another venture under EPL Private Limited, which connects digital merchants, consumers, and enterprises through nationwide infrastructure.
EPL leadership stated that the milestone highlights the potential for deploying globally recognized digital identity solutions within emerging markets like Pakistan. They added that digital transformation is most impactful when it reaches large-scale user bases and improves accessibility for everyday consumers.
Industry observers note that digital identity infrastructure is becoming a foundational element of Pakistan’s transition toward a more cashless and digitally integrated economy. As financial services continue to expand, demand for secure, fast, and reliable verification systems is expected to grow significantly.
With millions of successful verifications already completed locally and billions globally, Identity 360 Global’s latest milestone underscores the increasing role of AI-powered identity systems in shaping the future of digital finance in Pakistan and beyond.
