Company profile

FaceTec, Inc. is a privately held company founded in 2013, with its primary U.S. operations based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and San Diego, California, and additional staff globally. The company operates as a provider of 3D face verification and biometric identity software solutions. FaceTec is primarily bootstrapped, though it secured $4 million in funding in 2014. As of 2025, the company had approximately 44-54 employees, with estimated annual revenue of $4.8 million, following a 54% revenue growth in 2023.

FaceTec specializes in 3D Liveness Detection and 3D Face Matching software for remote identity verification, anchoring digital identity from user onboarding to ongoing authentication across smart devices and webcams. Its product offerings include 3D Face Verification and Reverification software, which generates 3D FaceMaps and 3D FaceVectors, along with features such as UR Codes, Photo ID OCR and Barcode/NFC Scanning, and Anonymous Age Checks. The software is designed to run within customers' systems, ensuring FaceTec does not receive end-user personally identifiable information or biometric data. FaceTec serves various sectors, including financial services, border security, transportation, blockchain, e-voting, social networks, and government entities, and operates a persistent Spoof Bounty Program to test and enhance its security.

FaceTec is an active two-way litigant in patent disputes, with a total of seven tracked cases. It has initiated four lawsuits as a plaintiff and defended three cases as a defendant. The company's plaintiff actions, notably three recent filings in the California Northern District Court against Jumio Corporation, and one in the District of Nevada against iProov LTD, indicate a focus on protecting its intellectual property related to 3D biometric liveness detection.

The defendant cases against FaceTec consist of three inter partes reviews (IPRs) filed with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) by Unified Patents LLC and Jumio Corporation. In June 2026, FaceTec announced a "total victory" in the four PTAB IPRs initiated by Jumio, with the board upholding all of FaceTec's challenged patent claims. This ruling strengthens FaceTec's position in its ongoing patent infringement lawsuits against Jumio and iProov, which relate to allegations that these competitors infringed on FaceTec's patented liveness detection technology after Jumio switched its provider from FaceTec to iProov in 2021. FaceTec has also successfully had a biometric data privacy lawsuit dismissed, emphasizing its privacy-by-design architecture.
