Trulioo CTO Explains How to Balance Friction in Digital Identity Verification and Onboarding
Identity verification is a critical gateway for establishing trust during digital commerce and financial services onboarding. Trulioo Chief Technology Officer Hal Lonas said an appropriate level of friction need not undermine conversion rates. By calibrating verification requirements to risk, companies can support fast account opening while meeting regulatory obligations and preventing fraud.
Trulioo’s latest report, “Why Friction Is Not the Enemy in Identity Verification,” argues that AI models and continuous feedback loops can dynamically identify high-risk applicants, avoiding the need to subject every user to the same checks. As of July 20, 2026, the available information did not specify a publication date, transaction value or quantified results.
