Results validate the company’s internationalization strategy, driven by strong adoption of its anti-fraud technologies in new markets
São Paulo, June 01, 2026 – Unico, a global identity network, today announced its performance results for the first quarter of 2026, demonstrating strong acceleration in its operations. The company reported an 84% increase in identity verification transaction volume compared to the same period last year, reflecting the growing demand for advanced technologies capable of combating fraud generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The highlight of the quarter was the global expansion strategy. Exponential growth in international transaction volume directly drove a 130% increase in revenue from outside Brazil compared to the same period last year. Operations in Mexico stood out, tripling transaction volume and achieving a 204% increase over Q4 2025, validating the scalability of the company's business model in strategic markets.
"These results are part of our journey to become a global trust infrastructure, protecting people and institutions worldwide," said Luis Felipe Monteiro, Unico Latam CEO. "The accelerated growth, both in Brazil and internationally, validates our belief that our technology solves the complex challenge of identifying humans and preventing synthetic fraud at scale."
The company maintains a 2026 growth guidance of 30%–40%, relying on international levers and the launch of new products, such as an age verification solution in Brazil, to achieve its objectives. Financial performance complements operational progress, with consolidated revenue up 34% in Q1 2026 versus the same period last year.
"Our mission is to build a safer and more trustworthy world, and we have been strategic in executing this vision. In recent years, we have made key acquisitions, including Oz Forensics and Israeli company OwnID, to strengthen our proprietary technology. Today, with operations in over 20 countries and market expansion plans underway for Argentina, we are uniquely positioned," Monteiro added. "None of this would be possible without our clients, who help build this vision every day and trust our infrastructure to protect their operations. Trust is our main product, and these results show that the market recognizes its value."
