ebankIT, a digital banking platform provider, has announced a partnership with Daon, a global digital identity fraud prevention firm, to embed continuous identity assurance directly into the banking customer lifecycle.
The integration brings Daon’s Identity Continuity infrastructure into ebankIT’s platform, making ebankIT one of the first digital banking providers to adopt this model. The framework links onboarding, account access, risk-based re-verification, and step-up authentication, creating a persistent chain of identity assurance across every customer interaction and channel.
The combined solution incorporates Daon’s biometric matching, document verification, liveness detection, and phishing-resistant authentication capabilities. These are delivered through ebankIT’s API gateway, enabling financial institutions to onboard customers remotely, secure high-risk transactions, and apply re-verification when risk signals shift — all without adding friction to the user experience. The partnership also aims to help institutions meet compliance requirements through audit-ready identity workflows.
The move comes as AI-powered fraud — including deepfakes and synthetic identities — continues to undermine confidence in digital financial services. Conventional identity verification treats authentication as a single checkpoint, creating windows of vulnerability in subsequent transactions. The integrated solution is designed to address this by binding the initial verification to every later interaction across the customer journey.
ebankIT builds digital banking solutions that financial institutions use to manage customer onboarding, transaction authentication, and channel engagement. Daon specialises in digital identity fraud prevention, offering identity verification and authentication tools deployed across global markets.
The platform is designed to allow institutions to accelerate remote onboarding, reduce fraud exposure across the customer lifecycle, secure high-risk transactions with identity-bound authentication, and support faster innovation through a flexible, API-driven architecture.
Daon CEO Tom Grissen said, “Digital onboarding and transaction verification are now mission-critical for financial institutions. What’s changing is the need to extend trust beyond those initial moments. By integrating Daon’s trusted identity platform with ebankIT’s modern digital banking ecosystem, we’re enabling banks and credit unions to move away from fragmented, point-in-time checks and toward a model where identity can be trusted continuously, across every interaction.”
ebankIT VP of market development Paul Provenzano said, “Our partnership with Daon strengthens our commitment to delivering a secure and humanized digital banking experience. Financial institutions can now onboard customers in minutes, verify identities with precision, and protect transactions without adding friction. It’s the future of digital trust.”
