"After we started to operate with Unico Liveness, the period for identity checks shortened to 4 seconds, and we also managed to narrow down the biometric fraud attempts to zero. Unico Liveness became a trust factor for our clients: now, they are sure that their financial operations are safe."

Davron Adylkhodjaev

CIO/CTO of TBC Uzbekistan

“Unico’s SDK and liveness detection made a big difference. Now users are guided properly through the process, and our teams can focus on operations instead of correcting mistakes. The technology is reliable, and the support has been excellent.”

Andy Garna

President Director at Caina

"On the very first day, we saw our TPV increasing and sales conversion rising. Our approval rate went up, and after a few days, we realized the risk was practically zero. A significant percentage of our payment link TPV is now related to transactions recovered with Unico IDPay that we would have previously denied."

PagBank Leadership

"Counting on a local partner like Unico was fundamental. They helped us create a fast, friction-free registration with a very high level of security right from the start. This gave us more efficiency, provided a unique experience for our players, and ensured a fluid and totally secure journey."

BETMGM Brazil Leadership

"Our partnership with Unico has helped us successfully integrate biometric security measures into our digital banking process. Thanks to our implementation of Unico solutions, over 800,000 customers have already passed biometric authentication, resulting in a highly secure process. Additionally, our online processes have allowed us to reduce the cost of credit by 2.5%."

Ivan Belokhvostikov

Deputy Chairman of the Management Board

"Cadastro by Unico was what truly enabled us to scale. Our core is registering partners, bringing business, and providing the best customer service; Unico’s core is bringing security and transparency to our process. It’s more than just a provider; it’s a business partner that shares the risk with us."

Leadership, Fintec do Corban

"The implementation of Unico has become a cornerstone of Zumiez's digital transformation strategy, enabling the company to focus on growth initiatives rather than authentication challenges."

Cory Nielsen

Sr. Digital Program Manager, Zumiez

"We were looking at how to remove friction from the registration and login process across our brands. We partnered with Unico and we are so happy with early results that we are now in the process of expanding Unico's technology to 45 additional brand websites!"
