Veridas and Fourthline to combine into global digital identity platform
Veridas agreed to merge with Fourthline to form a global digital-identity platform spanning Europe, Latin America, and the US.
The combined group will target end-to-end customer identity lifecycle services, pairing Fourthline’s KYC and AML capabilities with Veridas’ biometrics and fraud prevention.
Veridas shareholders, including BBVA, will retain stakes in the new company once the deal closes.
Finch Capital will continue backing the business; Rabobank is set to join as a new investor.
Closing is expected in 2H 2026, subject to standard conditions.
