FinTech Breakthrough Celebrates a Decade of Recognizing the World’s Most Innovative Financial Technology Companies
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GeoComply Solutions Inc. (“GeoComply”), a leading provider of digital identity and geolocation solutions, today announced its selection as the “Financial Transaction Security Platform of the Year” for the second year in a row. This marks the 10th year of the program conducted by FinTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global FinTech market today.
Trusted by the world’s leading brands and regulators, GeoComply’s digital identity solutions were built on the fundamental understanding that transaction security threats are not static – they evolve throughout the entire user journey, spanning accounts, devices, and entities that are often interconnected and hidden.
Unlike traditional transaction security platforms that are built on siloed, point-in-time checks, GeoComply continuously corroborates high-fidelity geolocation, device, and behavioural data to build context-aware evidence anchored in physical reality. Rather than assessing risk at a single moment in time, GeoComply understands the nuance of how a user's behaviour, intent, and identity evolve across the user journey — surfacing patterns and deviations that conventional checks are structurally unable to see.
This contextual precision directly translates into financial accessibility and growth. With near-zero false positives, trusted users avoid unnecessary friction or blockage from essential services. This is especially beneficial for underbanked and thin-file customers, who are often screened out by traditional fraud tools. GeoComply’s granular trust profiles also unlock a competitive edge. Verified users can be delighted with personalized offers, higher transfer limits, instant approvals, and seamless cross-border transactions, while malicious actors are deterred. For FinTechs, this means not compromising on security or growth.
GeoComply continues to set the gold standard for seamless transaction security, so FinTechs can expand confidently into new markets without sacrificing compliance or customer experience:
- Enhanced growth and retention: False positives as low as 0.1%, ensuring FinTechs reward their most trusted users, while also enabling seamless financial access for thin file users.
- Immediate cost savings: Up to 7 figures in monthly fraud savings from proactive risk detection that reduces manual reviews by ~60%.
- Regulatory perfection: Zero GeoComply customers fined to date due to non-compliance.
“Traditional AML programs assess risk through onboarding and siloed liveness checks, but the signals aren’t linked, making it hard to determine if a legitimate user might later sell their account to a mule, move, or even have their credentials compromised long after account creation,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, FinTech Breakthrough. “With GeoComply, continuous behavioural intelligence replaces siloed point-in-time checks that overlook key risk patterns, ensuring FinTechs don't have to choose between security, user experience and financial accessibility. We’re thrilled to award GeoComply ‘Financial Transaction Security Platform of the Year!’”
“We are truly honored to be recognized by FinTech Breakthrough for the second year in a row – a reflection of the trust our customers place in us every day,” said Kip Levin, CEO of GeoComply. Our platform has been pressure-tested for over a decade in the world’s most regulated markets, and that foundation is what allows us to see what others miss – the subtle, evolving patterns across a user's entire journey that traditional solutions are simply not built to catch. That depth of experience is what drives us to keep solving the problems that others don’t see coming, and we will continue to raise the bar for excellence so our customers don’t have to choose between growth and security.”
