GBG
Global Identity Intelligence and Location Data
GBG (GB Group) is a global provider of identity data intelligence, location intelligence, and fraud prevention technology, listed on the London Stock Exchange. GBG has grown through strategic acquisitions — including Acuant (US identity verification), Loqate (address intelligence), and TruNarrative (AML orchestration). GBG's identity verification suite spans eKYC, document verification, biometric matching, and identity proofing — all underpinned by access to over 5 billion identity records across more than 70 countries. GBG Connexus, their flagship platform, enables organisations to orchestrate risk decisions across the customer lifecycle, from onboarding and age verification to fraud screening and compliance checks. With deep coverage in the UK, US, Asia-Pacific, and emerging markets, GBG is a particularly strong choice for organisations with international customer bases.
