What is Veridas?
Veridas is a Spanish biometrics and identity verification company founded in 2017 as a joint venture between BBVA and das-Nano, based near Pamplona. It says it serves 350+ clients in 25 countries. It merged with Fourthline in November 2026.
Veridas builds its own biometric engines rather than reselling third-party models. Its products include das-Face for facial verification, identification and liveness, das-Peak for voice biometrics that needs about three seconds of audio in any language, document verification, Voice Shield for detecting voice fraud and deepfakes in call centres, and the Veridas Nexus digital ID wallet. Its facial and voice engines have placed near the top of NIST evaluations, and its liveness detection has passed iBeta ISO 30107-3 testing.
Banks and financial institutions in Spain and Latin America are its strongest customer base, and BBVA has used Veridas for remote onboarding since 2018. Veridas also sells to insurers, telecoms, public administration, gaming operators, stadiums and venues (through facial access terminals), retailers and contact centres. It offers public API documentation, a hosted flow and web, iOS and Android SDKs.
On November 3, 2026, Veridas completed its merger with Amsterdam-based Fourthline, backed by up to €65M. Fourthline CEO Paul Stoddart leads the combined company, and Veridas CEO Eduardo Azanza becomes president. Existing contracts and integrations continue. Veridas does not publish pricing; an AWS Marketplace listing shows USD 1.37 per identity verification on a 12-month contract.
