Evrotrust, a European Qualified Trust Service Provider delivering digital identity and trust services, has partnered with Trustfull, a digital risk intelligence and fraud prevention company, to help organisations strengthen identity verification and fraud prevention across digital customer journeys.
The partnership pairs Evrotrust’s digital identity infrastructure and strong presence across Central and Southeast Europe with Trustfull’s real time digital intelligence, letting organisations assess risk before, during and after identity verification. Evrotrust lets businesses and public institutions remotely verify and authenticate users through eIDAS compliant digital identity services, qualified electronic signatures and other regulated trust services. Its platform is already used by more than 300 organisations and over 1.8 million registered users, with verification capabilities covering documents from more than 60 countries.
Trustfull adds a further layer of intelligence, analysing hundreds of digital signals tied to phone numbers, email addresses and IP addresses to spot disposable contact information, inconsistencies between identity attributes, proxy usage and other markers of fraud risk. It can also be applied before formal KYC begins, letting organisations assess risk at the earliest stage of onboarding, catch higher risk applicants sooner, and apply more targeted verification or enhanced due diligence where needed.
Together, the two companies want to give customers a fuller view of digital identity risk, from pre KYC assessment and identity verification through to later customer interactions, so organisations can make more informed, risk based decisions across the customer lifecycle. That’s especially relevant for financial services, lending, payments, telecommunications and public sector digital services, where identity assurance, AML controls and fraud prevention are increasingly tangled together.
Building on Evrotrust’s footprint across Central and Southeast Europe and Trustfull’s cross border digital intelligence, the partnership should help both companies serve existing customers better while expanding into new European markets.
Lovro Persen, Director Documents and Fraud at Evrotrust, said: “As digital identity becomes more widely adopted across financial services, government and other regulated sectors, customers increasingly need to understand not only whether an identity is verified, but also the digital risk surrounding an interaction. Combining Evrotrust’s trusted identity capabilities with Trustfull’s digital intelligence allows us to give customers that broader context while supporting secure digital growth across markets.”
The partnership also lines up with how Europe’s digital identity framework is evolving under eIDAS 2.0. As reusable digital identities and the EU Digital Identity Wallet see wider adoption, organisations will increasingly need to pair verified identity with additional risk intelligence wherever those credentials get used.
Alex Tonello, SVP Global Partnerships at Trustfull, said: “Evrotrust has built a highly trusted digital identity platform with particularly strong reach across Central and Southeast Europe. By combining their identity capabilities with Trustfull’s pre KYC and digital risk intelligence, we can help organisations detect risk earlier, focus verification where it is needed most and build stronger fraud controls across the customer journey.”
Customers will be able to combine Evrotrust’s identity verification with Trustfull’s digital risk intelligence within their existing onboarding and fraud prevention workflows. The two companies will also pursue joint commercial opportunities across Europe, starting with regulated industries and organisations operating across multiple markets.
Digital Trade Outlook: This partnership reflects a broader shift in how Europe is approaching identity and fraud prevention, treating it less as a single verification checkpoint and more as continuous risk assessment from pre KYC screening through ongoing monitoring. With eIDAS 2.0 and the EU Digital Identity Wallet set to make reusable digital identities more common, pairing a trusted identity layer with real time behavioural risk signals is starting to look like baseline architecture for regulated industries, not an add on.
