Regula Partners with V-Key to Strengthen Mobile Identity Security Across Asia-Pacific

Through the partnership, Regula’s document authentication, facial biometrics, and liveness detection — Regula Document Reader SDK and Regula Face SDK — will be integrated into V-Key ID, the company’s digital identity platform for banks, telecoms, government services, and digital businesses.

The integration combines Regula’s technologies with V-Key’s patented Virtual Secure Element (V-OS), multi-factor authentication, and mobile app protection technologies. Together, the companies aim to help organizations onboard verified users directly inside mobile apps while maintaining secure authentication across logins, sessions, and transactions.

The combined offering is designed for regulated industries with strict security, compliance, and digital onboarding requirements.

The partnership brings together two complementary parts of the mobile identity stack.

At onboarding, Regula helps organizations authenticate identity documents from around the world, perform facial biometrics and liveness checks, and detect fraud attempts involving manipulated, forged, or synthetic identities.

Once a user is verified, V-Key’s mobile security infrastructure helps protect that trusted identity across future logins, transactions, and interactions inside the app through continuous authentication, adaptive threat detection, and zero-trust security controls.

The combined solution is designed to help organizations:

• strengthen protection against AI-generated identity fraud;

• reduce onboarding friction and user drop-off;

• support eKYC and regulatory compliance requirements;

• maintain trusted authentication throughout the customer lifecycle.

Mobile platforms have become central to digital identity interactions — and an increasingly attractive target for fraud.

As digital services continue to scale across Asia-Pacific, organizations are facing growing pressure to strengthen:

• digital onboarding security,

• liveness detection,

• fraud prevention,

• continuous identity assurance,

• mobile authentication infrastructure.

The partnership reflects a broader industry shift toward connected identity systems that combine document verification, biometrics, device trust, and authentication into a single mobile identity journey.

Regula IDV solutions deliver end-to-end document verification, biometric authentication, and identity lifecycle management. It enables organizations to prevent fraud by ensuring the integrity of every signal behind each decision.
