Incode Technologies has been recognized as a Leader, earning the top position for Completeness of Vision

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Incode, a top provider of world-class identity verification and authentication solutions for global enterprises, today announced it has been named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Identity Verification, recognized among 11 evaluated vendors. We believe this recognition highlights Incode’s technological capabilities, particularly in fraud detection and innovation, which are increasingly critical as threats like deepfakes continue to rise.

Ricardo Amper, CEO and Founder of Incode, said: “We’re incredibly honored to be named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. We feel this recognition reflects our technological capabilities and our strong partnerships with clients.  As the threat landscape evolves, especially with the rise of deepfakes, our proprietary technology ensures our clients are always prepared to meet these challenges head-on, delivering the highest levels of accuracy”. 

Driving Client Success Through Ease of Use and Innovation

With tools like Workflows no-code orchestration, we focus on enabling rapid deployment of customized identity verification processes. This allows clients to quickly integrate Incode’s solutions into their operations, enhancing both flexibility and efficiency.

Incode’s approach goes beyond technology, focusing on true partnership. Incode’s client success team works closely with each customer to fine-tune the platform, ensuring that rules, configurations, and setups align with the unique needs of every industry, flow, and use case. This hands-on approach, combined with SLAs tied directly to performance outcomes, ensures maximum value and success for each client. 

A Relentless Focus on Innovation

Incode’s platform is built entirely in-house. This foundation allows Incode to maintain complete control over every aspect of its fraud lab, from liveness detection and document verification to facial recognition, OCR, and injection protection, with over 200 checks embedded into its solution. With a focus on new attack vectors—especially those driven by generative AI—Incode continues to push innovation. The company’s age-estimation tool, praised by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), not only improves accuracy by catching fake IDs, but also addresses new use cases for protecting vulnerable populations.

Additionally, the company has responded to a rising number of fraud attempts during critical workforce interactions such as MFA enrollment, password resets, and help desk verifications. This led to the development of the Workforce product, built to secure these high-risk interactions and designed to work seamlessly with Identity and Access Management (IAM) partners. 

Key Features of Incode’s IDV Solution:

Ease of Use: Incode’s Workflows no-code orchestration tool allows businesses to easily configure and deploy custom identity verification processes, driving immediate value.

Client-Centric Partnerships: Incode works closely with its clients, pushing for maximum performance and value through close collaboration and tailored solutions.

Continuous Innovation: Incode consistently enhances core features, such as deepfake detection and fraud prevention, while introducing new technologies like its NIST-acclaimed age-estimation tool. A unique feature is Incode’s biometric connections with government sources, particularly in the U.S. 

Commitment to Performance:  Incode’s pricing model aligns incentives with client success, linking SLAs to key performance metrics such as fraud reduction and user conversion, ensuring clients are set up for long-term success. 

Looking to the Future: Continued Innovation and Expansion

Incode’s roadmap is full of enhancements designed to further empower businesses with industry-leading identity verification technologies. Upcoming developments include advanced injection attack detection, workforce-specific IDV features, and more robust fraud detection mechanisms, all designed to stay ahead of the evolving identity landscape.

“We remain committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in identity verification,” Amper added. “Our focus on five key pillars drives the highest value for our clients: proprietary technology giving us end-to-end control over fraud vectors, identity network that’s integrated with biometric government sources for unmatched accuracy, deep enterprise partnerships, advanced orchestration capabilities, and a world-class team. We will continue building on this foundation to create even more value for our customers.”

National Press Club Statement on the withdrawal of subpoenas targeting New York Times journalists

Published

on

By

WASHINGTON, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — National Press Club President Mark Schoeff Jr. released the following statement:

“The Justice Department’s decision to withdraw subpoenas targeting journalists at The New York Times is a welcome and necessary step to protect the public’s constitutional right to an independent press.

These subpoenas should never have been issued in the first place. Compelling journalists to reveal confidential sources sends a chilling message to those who seek to inform the public and threatens the very foundation of press freedom.

Every American should understand what is at stake when the government turns its investigative powers on journalists. It is not routine. It is an extraordinary intrusion that strikes at the heart of the First Amendment and your right to information about your government.

The greatest danger was not the subpoenas themselves, but the message they sent: That sources could be exposed, that whistleblowers should remain silent, and that the American people might know less about the actions of their own government.

A strong democracy depends on a press that can report freely, hold power to account, and inform the public without intimidation.

We urge continued vigilance to ensure that journalists can do their jobs without interference and that protections for source confidentiality are upheld consistently.”

About the National Press Club

Founded in 1908, the National Press Club is the world’s leading professional organization for journalists and a leading voice for press freedom in the U.S. and worldwide.

NCC Launches NCC Connect™ to Put Credit, Fraud, and Compliance Inside the CRM Dealers Already Use

Published

on

By

A powerful new solution that embeds credit access, fraud detection, and compliance directly into the dealership’s existing CRM — removing the system-switching that slows deals and exposes dealers to risk.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — NCC, a leading provider of credit and compliance solutions for automotive dealerships, today announced the launch of NCC Connect™, a powerful platform that runs credit, fraud, and compliance from inside the CRM a dealership already uses — without friction or duplicate entry.

“Dealers don’t need another system to log into,” said Brian Skutta, President and CEO of NCC. “They need the tools they already have to work better together. NCC Connect puts credit, fraud detection, and compliance right where the team already works — inside the CRM they use every day.”

“Dealers don’t need another system to log into,” said Brian Skutta, President and CEO of NCC. “They need the tools they already have to work better together. NCC Connect puts credit, fraud detection, and compliance right where the team already works — inside the CRM they use every day.”

As deals grow more complex and fraud more sophisticated, dealers are juggling more disconnected systems than ever — the CRM, the credit system, the compliance tools — switching between them on every transaction. Each switch breaks momentum, invites a skipped step, and slows the path to funding. NCC Connect meets this moment with a single, seamless solution that keeps the full credit, fraud, and compliance engine right where the team already works.

Why NCC Connect Matters Right Now

Dealers lose time and margin switching between the CRM, credit, and compliance systems on every dealAuto lending fraud continues to climb, with industry fraud exposure reaching a record $10.4 billion in 2025, according to Point Predictive’s 2026 Auto Lending Fraud Trends ReportState compliance is tightening, with laws like California’s SB 766 (CARS Act) taking effect October 1, 2026Every disconnected step is another chance for an error, a delay, or a deal that stalls before funding

These pressures are forcing dealers to consolidate, and NCC Connect delivers the edge.

Product Highlights:

Inside the CRM — Soft-pull and hard credit access from all three major bureaus — Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax — without leaving the workflowFraud & Identity Built In — Identity verification and synthetic fraud detection delivered within the credit pull, flagging Red Flag conditions before the deal moves to fundingCompliance on Autopilot — FCRA and FTC controls with automatic, audit-ready documentation stored in the deal record99.99% Uptime — The industry’s highest, so the platform is there when a deal is on the desk

NCC Connect runs soft-pull pre-qualifications and hard credit pulls from any bureau or score model without leaving the CRM, while customer data stays inside the existing CRM structure. Every credit, fraud, and compliance result is captured on the deal record — giving dealers a single, audit-ready source of truth and a faster, cleaner path to funding.

NCC Connect extends the same powerful, credit-first engine behind NCC’s Complete Credit™ platform into the CRM where dealers already work. For dealers, that means more approvals, stronger fraud protection, and faster funding, without changing how the team works.
