Microblink Achieves 65% Year-Over-Year Growth in Market-First Payment Card Scanning Solution
The company’s fraud-fighting and identity verification technology hits major milestones as digital identity demand surges globally; momentum is highlighted by several key new executive hires.
BROOKLYN, N.Y. October, 2025 – Microblink, a global leader in AI-powered identity and fraud prevention, today announced record momentum for its BlinkCard solution, with a 65% YoY growth rate, fueled by customer trust and the accelerating shift to a digital-first world.
Microblink’s recent success reflects broad adoption across industries and geographies, with 40+ customers now live, including a $20 billion social media platform, a publicly traded U.S. fintech, a national government, and the world’s largest real-time cross-border payments network. In total, the company now powers over 65 million identity document scans per month and seven-figure payment card scan volumes, contributing to measurable fraud reduction outcomes, including a 50% cut in CNP fraud for a global payments provider.
“Microblink’s mission is to make trust effortless,” said Hartley Thompson III, CEO of Microblink. “We’re building the infrastructure that allows businesses to fight fraud without sacrificing customer experience. These milestones are a testament to our team’s ability to deliver innovation that’s fast, accurate, and easy to deploy.”
Market-First Innovation: Payment Card Scanning with Liveness Detection
One year ago, Microblink launched the first-ever payment card scanning solution with built-in liveness detection, preventing both first- and third-party fraud while streamlining checkout. The technology achieves 97% data extraction accuracy and supports any payment card format, including vertical or horizontal, embossed or printed. Consumers benefit from reduced friction compared to manual entry, making the solution both secure and seamless.
Raising the Bar in Fraud Detection and User Experience
Microblink’s fraud detection technology continues to outperform the market, achieving a perfect score when benchmarked against the largest public dataset of deepfakes, IDNET, a dataset supported by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Microblink’s technology caught 100% of deepfakes in testing against IDNet.
Meanwhile, new biometric and UX features have driven measurable results for customers such as Binance, which saw a 40% improvement in onboarding completion rates. Enhancements include:
- Detection of closed eyes, open mouths, and sunglasses
- Real-time capture guidance with haptic feedback
- Leapfrog improvements in webcam capture
- Seamless desktop-to-mobile handoff via QR code
Tech That Developers Love
Microblink continues to win over developer teams with cloud deployment options, regional endpoints for data privacy compliance, and a reduced SDK size, even as small as 2.5MB, six times smaller than leading alternatives. The company’s source-available UI layer and headless SDK give enterprise customers full control over their user experience through complete white-label flexibility.
“Fraud prevention has to be invisible to the consumer and flexible for the developer,” added Thompson. “We’re giving our customers the tools to innovate faster, protect better, and onboard smarter.”
Leadership and Industry Collaboration
To support its next phase of growth, Microblink has expanded its leadership team with key hires including:
- Vanita Pandey: Chief Marketing Officer
- Radu Tudoran: VP, Engineering
- Dan Kaplan: VP, Sales
- Paulo Nascimento: Head of LATAM
Microblink is also helping lead the industry conversation on cross-sector collaboration. Thompson will moderate a session at Money20/20 USA, titled “The 8 Data-Sharing Obstacles That Enable Fraud – And What To Do About Them.”
The panel will feature leaders from Microsoft, SoFi, and Cash App, discussing how legal, technical, and competitive barriers can be overcome to strengthen collective defenses against fraud.
