GBG turns 800 million annual identity checks into actionable intelligence for every customer
Foresight, GBG’s new AI-powered intelligence layer, adds peer benchmarking and real-time performance insights to a customer’s existing GBG integration, giving identity, fraud and compliance teams the market context they need to make faster, more confident decisions.
21 May 2026, LONDON - GBG, the global identity technology business enabling safe and rewarding digital lives, today launched Foresight, an AI-powered intelligence layer that shows businesses how their identity journeys perform against peers in the same sector and what to change to improve.
Foresight is available now to GBG customers in EMEA as an add-on to their existing platform integration. No additional implementation is required.
Foresight brings together three capabilities in a single portal. Performance Insights tracks pass rates, volumes, trends, demographic breakdowns and configuration changes in real time. Peer Benchmarking draws on the anonymised data GBG processes across 20,000+ customers in 195 countries, placing that performance data in market context. AI Recommendations translate both into specific, explainable actions, supported by automated alerts when pass rates or volumes shift outside normal range.
Identity and fraud teams are under growing pressure to act quickly and justify their decisions. According to TransUnion’s H1 2026 Fraud Trends Report, 8.3% of digital account creation attempts globally were suspected fraudulent in 2025, an 18% increase year-on-year. Without a clear view of how their identity journeys perform relative to the market, most teams are left optimising in the dark.
Gus Tomlinson, Chief Product & Technology Officer at GBG, says “Every identity check we run makes the next one more accurate. That history is our asset, and the outcomes it drives are what our customers care about. Until now, the intelligence sitting inside that data has not been accessible in a way that lets teams act on it directly. Foresight changes that. It gives fraud, compliance and onboarding teams the external context they need to make faster, more defensible decisions, improve pass rates and get measurably more from their existing GBG investment.”
The key benefits of Foresight are:
Real-time performance visibility: track pass rates, volumes, demographic breakdowns and the impact of configuration changes as they happen, rather than waiting for periodic reviews.
Peer benchmarking: compare performance against similar businesses in the same sector, region and demographic cohort, using anonymised data from GBG’s global customer base.
AI-powered recommendations: receive specific, explainable configuration changes tied to measurable outcomes including pass rate, cost per onboard and fraud loss.
Automated alerts: get notified when pass rates or volumes shift abnormally, so teams can investigate while there is still time to act.
No integration required: Foresight works on top of a customer’s existing GBG platform, with no systems work or disruption to current operations.
Foresight is available now to GBG customers in EMEA. US availability is planned for later this year. To find out more, visit: www.gbg.com/en/platform/foresight
