About NeuroID
NeuroID is solving the global Digital Identity Crisis. The industry-redefining behavioral analytics company applies patented neuroscience technology to measure how familiar users are with their inputted PII before they click ‘submit’ and enter a company’s fraud stack. NeuroID analyzes this pre-submit data in real-time and determines if users are genuine or risky, without adding any friction. This proprietary process enables deep visibility into a user's unique digital interactions and helps optimize identity verification orchestration, yet never collects customer data. NeuroID’s dynamic behavioral intelligence is fully compatible with all anti-fraud software and is endlessly scalable to seamlessly protect against advancing fraud technology.

Brief History of NeuroID
In 2010, the two founders, Dr. Jeff Jenkins and Dr. Joe Valacich, discovered a key link between the nuanced movements and behaviors of digital form interactions and the mindset and intention of the end user. Years of R&D evolved that concept into best-in-class behavioral analytics translating “digital body language” in real time, into meaningful, actionable and predictive metrics. Having captured and translated more than a trillion behavioral data points in commercial production, NeuroID’s technology delivers real-time predictive scores, data attributes for decisioning and predictive modeling, and the industry’s first digital friction index. It leverages nearly a decade of research and patented discovery to monitor, analyze and reveal the state of mind, intent and friction of each customer in real time as they interact with a website, form, or application. This new visibility and actionable insight empowers brands to personalize and enhance the digital customer journey and reduce unnecessary friction.
