Fideo

Fideo Intelligence is a Denver-based identity intelligence and fraud-prevention platform, spun out of FullContact in 2024 and backed by Foundry Group, Baird Capital, and Blue Note Ventures. Fideo turns fragmented personal identifiers — email, phone, SSN, name, postal address, IP address, and social handles — into real-time fraud and identity-verification signals drawn from an identity graph spanning billions of identities. Its two products, Verify (a single-call, real-time identity-verification and risk-scoring API that runs dozens of checks across breach, sanctions/watchlist, email, phone, location, device, and synthetic-identity dimensions) and Signals (modular identity-intelligence bundles that enrich existing fraud models), serve banks, credit unions, neobanks, fintechs, payments companies, and financial-crime and compliance teams for KYC, AML, onboarding, account-takeover, and payment-fraud use cases. The REST API is served at https://api.fideo.ai with bearer API-key authentication and JSON payloads, and is documented on a ReadMe developer hub.

Fideo publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, AI, Identity Verification, Fraud Prevention, and Fraud Detection.

Fideo’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, support, engineering blog, changelog, and 12 more developer resources.
