Huenei, a company with more than 30 years of experience in software development and AI applied to the development cycle, joins our partner community, significantly accelerating time-to-market.
The name “Huenei,” which means “great friends” in the Mapuche language, reflects a shared purpose of building long-lasting, trusted relationships, aligned with Facephi’s mission: protecting companies and individuals with ethical, certified technology that complies with international security and data protection standards.
Through this alliance, we bring together our expertise in 360º fraud prevention solutions with Huenei’s knowledge in software development, application modernization, and AI application, driving the digital transformation of organizations while reducing friction, risks, and operational costs.
The common goal is to provide more secure, agile, and scalable digital identity solutions that help prevent fraud and protect people in key sectors such as banking, insurance, retail, healthcare, and logistics, both in Latin America and the United States. Thanks to this partnership, the integration of our solutions will be carried out more quickly and efficiently within clients’ applications, significantly accelerating time-to-market.
“This collaboration with Huenei gives us the opportunity to bring our identity verification and anti-fraud solutions to a greater number of companies undergoing digital transformation, helping them ensure security in every online interaction,” says Jorge Sanz, CEO of Facephi.
Meanwhile, Gustavo Comisso, CEO of Huenei IT Services, highlights: “This alliance represents much more than a technological integration. We are combining capabilities to help organizations build digital ecosystems where identity becomes a business enabler—not a point of friction. At Huenei, we have been applying AI throughout the development cycle to accelerate deliveries and modernize critical systems. Integrating Facephi’s biometric capabilities allows us to offer stronger and more secure solutions for highly regulated industries in Latin America and the United States.”
A context of increasing fraud and the need for robust Digital Identity
Today’s reality shows a rising landscape of digital fraud, with estimated losses in Latin America reaching around $90 billion. In this context, digital identity has become a pillar of trust: verifying that every user is who they claim to be, in every interaction, is essential to safeguard both companies and consumers.
At the same time, the changing global regulatory landscape is driving the adoption of more secure digital solutions. Organizations seek technologies that meet international regulatory requirements (iBeta, NIST, etc.) and ensure an accessible, frictionless user experience.
Thanks to this alliance, Huenei’s clients will be able to seamlessly integrate Facephi solutions, including:
- Secure digital onboarding: Customer enrollment with automatic document capture (OCR), document validation, watchlist and government database checks, along with facial biometrics and liveness detection to guarantee user authenticity.
Multi-biometric authentication: Facial, fingerprint, and voice biometrics to reinforce access across digital channels, using SCA models and continuous authentication to adapt security levels to each session and transaction.
Behavioral biometrics: Analysis of interaction patterns to detect anomalies and early signs of risk, including protection against remote access or manipulation during legitimate sessions.
Through this collaboration, we reaffirm our commitment to expanding Facephi’s presence across the Americas, promoting the creation of safer digital ecosystems where identity is an enabler of inclusion, innovation, and growth—never a vulnerability in the face of fraud.
