Identity 360 Global, a venture of EPL Private Limited and a provider of AI-driven digital identity solutions, has achieved a significant milestone in strengthening Pakistan’s digital financial ecosystem by processing large-scale touchless biometric verifications for Easypaisa’s extensive agent network.
The deployment is facilitated through EPL’s Digital Distribution Platform, which connects merchants, consumers, and enterprises across a nationwide digital infrastructure. The integration aims to improve onboarding efficiency, enhance security, and expand financial inclusion for unbanked and underbanked populations across Pakistan.
According to the company, the same technology has already supported more than one billion biometric verifications globally, positioning it among internationally recognized identity assurance solutions. This capability brings advanced fraud prevention, secure onboarding, and customer convenience to Pakistan’s rapidly growing digital economy.
As digital financial services continue to expand, identity verification has become a central pillar of secure banking and fintech operations. From account creation to merchant onboarding and remote access to financial services, institutions are increasingly relying on automated and secure digital identity systems to streamline processes.
Identity 360 Global’s touchless biometric verification system enables users to complete identity verification without traditional manual procedures. The platform captures and processes biometric data through AI-powered tools, while validation is performed using NADRA’s identity infrastructure. It also incorporates OCR-based document processing to automate data extraction and verification, reducing onboarding time and operational friction.
In addition, the system offers QR code-based offline identity verification, allowing secure authentication even in areas with limited or no internet connectivity. This feature is particularly important for extending financial services to remote and underserved regions.
Company representatives highlighted that the flexible architecture of the platform allows organizations to combine biometric verification, document intelligence, and offline identity solutions for a wide range of use cases. These include financial onboarding, merchant verification, and secure customer authentication across multiple industries.
Industry experts note that digital financial ecosystems are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated fraud techniques, including deepfake identity manipulation, SIM swap attacks, and synthetic identity fraud. As a result, robust liveness detection and biometric authentication systems are becoming essential components of modern digital security frameworks.
EPL leadership emphasized that deploying advanced identity technology at scale in emerging markets demonstrates the potential of digital transformation to drive inclusion and efficiency. The collaboration with Easypaisa reflects a broader shift toward adopting globally aligned identity standards within Pakistan’s financial sector.
Identity 360 Global’s solutions are aligned with international frameworks such as iBeta Level 2 certification, ISO and IEC standards, NIST benchmarks, FIDO principles, and MOSIP readiness. These standards ensure high levels of biometric accuracy, security compliance, and interoperability across global digital identity systems.
Beyond banking, the technology has applications across telecommunications, government services, healthcare, e-commerce, insurance, and workforce management, where secure identity verification is increasingly critical for digital operations.
As Pakistan continues its transition toward a cashless and digitally enabled economy, secure identity infrastructure is expected to play a foundational role in supporting financial inclusion, reducing fraud risks, and enabling seamless access to services.
The deployment at scale through Easypaisa’s network underscores the growing importance of trusted digital identity systems in shaping Pakistan’s financial future and strengthening the broader digital economy.
