Trustfull and Dotfile Join Forces to Strengthen Fraud Prevention in Digital Onboarding
By Dominic Sow · 12 November 2025
Trustfull, the leading provider of frictionless fraud prevention technology, and Dotfile, an end-to-end business verification platform with AI agents for risk and compliance, have announced a strategic partnership to strengthen fraud prevention controls during customer onboarding for fintechs.
Synthetic identity fraud, which occurs when criminals create user profiles combining genuine and fake personal data to bypass traditional ID checks, is projected to generate more than US$23 billion in losses by 2030 (Deloitte).
Through a native integration of Trustfull’s risk-scoring API within Dotfile’s business verification platform, clients can now detect synthetic identities and other suspicious accounts silently and in real time. Trustfull’s suite of AI agents instantly flags high-risk signups by analyzing hundreds of open source intelligence signals from users’ phone numbers, emails, IP addresses, and web domains, strengthening KYC, KYB, and AML workflows as a result.
This new integrated solution delivers the greatest impact for organizations onboarding customers digitally at scale, such as traditional and challenger banks, BNPL providers, online marketplaces, payment providers, and crypto platforms, where striking the right balance between effective fraud prevention and seamless customer experience is a key priority.
"As the lines between AML compliance and fraud prevention continue to blur, financial institutions are increasingly looking for integrated solutions to help them stay ahead of risk without compromising user experience,” said Vasco Alexandre, CEO of Dotfile. “In Trustfull, we’ve found the ideal partner to meet that need. Our teams share a clear vision for secure, seamless onboarding and a deep commitment to customer-centricity, making our collaboration a success from day one."
Marko Maras, CEO of Trustfull, added: "Getting onboarding right is non-negotiable for today’s digital companies. By integrating Trustfull’s risk scoring solution within Dotfile’s market-leading platform, we’re giving fintechs a single, integrated way to detect and stop synthetic identities and high-risk users at the first touchpoint with the customer, preventing fraud while protecting signup conversion in one single step.”
Trustfull’s risk scoring functionality is now available to all new and existing Dotfile clients. With no additional integration required, customers can benefit immediately from a unified solution that brings together risk scoring, fraud prevention, ID verification, UBO mapping, AML screening, and onboarding workflows, all in one streamlined environment.
