Vouchsafe partners with Cifas to boost digital ID offering with shared fraud intelligence
Jaye Hackett
Vouchsafe has joined the Cifas network, strengthening our ability to detect and prevent identity fraud across our digital verification services.
Cifas is the UK’s leading fraud prevention service, bringing together banks, fintechs, telecoms providers, public bodies and technology companies to share intelligence and stop fraud before it happens.
As one of a very small group of identity verification companies who are Cifas members, Vouchsafe can both contribute to and benefit from this shared intelligence.
For businesses using Vouchsafe, this adds an extra layer of protection when carrying out identity checks such as right to work, right to rent and DBS verification.
Access to industry-leading fraud intelligence helps identify suspicious activity earlier and reduces the risk of identity misuse across the verification journey.
It also supports Vouchsafe’s wider mission to build a safer and more inclusive trust infrastructure.
Chloe Coleman, CEO of Vouchsafe, said:
“We’re delighted to be joining the Cifas community. Identity fraud is evolving and growing rapidly, partly due to AI making it easier to create convincing fake identities and documents.”
“Working alongside Cifas allows us to bring the collective intelligence of the industry into our verification process and deliver stronger protection for organisations carrying out right to work, right to rent and DBS checks.”
Mark Courtney, Deputy CEO and Chief Product Officer, Cifas, said: “We are delighted to welcome Vouchsafe as a Cifas member. Collaboration and intelligence sharing sit at the heart of effective fraud prevention.
“As the latest Fraudscape figures show, identity fraud remains the single most common fraud type reported by Cifas members.
“Over 242,000 identity fraud cases were filed to Cifas’s National Fraud Database in 2025, accounting for 54% of all fraud-risk cases
“We hope that by joining the Cifas network, Vouchsafe will contribute to and benefit from shared insight that enables earlier detection and better protection for people at risk of identity fraud.”
