Credas Technologies, the UK leader in identity verification, is celebrating a landmark 2025, achieving significant growth, expanding its customer base, and strengthening its position as the market leader heading into 2026.
Over the past 12 months, Credas has increased its customer base by over 40%, securing a leading market share across its core market. This surge in adoption reflects the escalating demand for fast, secure and compliant digital verification tools as regulated industries brace for further regulatory changes in 2026.
The Credas solution now processes over five million people a year, underscoring the platform’s growing importance for organisations navigating heightened compliance requirements.
To support its rapid expansion and ambitious product roadmap, Credas has welcomed several strategic hires, including Neil Williams as Chief Technology Officer, who has led the evolution of the company’s technology strategy with a focus on global scalability and solutions designed for increasingly complex compliance demands. Credas has also expanded its Customer Success team to ensure it continues delivering best-in-class support as client numbers surge, and appointed Jon Parish as Compliance Officer, further reinforcing the company’s leadership in regulatory insight, risk management and industry best practice.
A growing customer and partner ecosystem
Credas’ momentum continues to accelerate, driven by a growing and diverse network of customers and partners. This includes leading lettings referencing specialists HomeLet, Let Alliance and Goodlord, as well as three of the Big Four professional services firms. Credas has also expanded its services within Co-op Legal, while welcoming accountancy innovators Crunch Accounting and TaxCalc to its client base. A standout milestone this year is a strategic collaboration with market leader Bright, now a highly valued partner in Credas’ rapidly strengthening ecosystem.
Key strategic partnerships have also flourished in 2025 with Credas joining the Open Property Data Association (OPDA) and the Future Property Transaction Group, both of which champion industry-wide innovation, interoperability and data transparency as well as the Association of Professional Document Verification Providers (ADVP) who have been working closely with the UK Government on the rollout of digital ID.
Tim Barnett, CEO of Credas, commented: “This has been a defining year for Credas. Our continued investment in innovation – from the Credas Wallet to our new compliance and payments solutions – reflects our belief that the future of verification must be faster, smarter and reusable. With reforms on the horizon, Credas is well-positioned to help the market adapt with confidence. I’m proud of the team and excited for what’s next.”
Bringing innovations to the industry
Credas is set to redefine the future of property compliance with the launch of a world first Compliance Wallet, rolling at the start of the new year. This market-leading innovation will transform how agents, conveyancers, and consumers manage identity and compliance data, putting secure, portable, and fully verified credentials directly into the hands of users for the first time. As a truly revolutionary leap forward, the Credas Compliance Wallet streamlines onboarding, accelerates transactions, and sets an entirely new benchmark for trust and transparency in the property sector.
2025 has also been a breakthrough year for product innovation, with Credas launching several other market-defining solutions:
Director ID: Launched ahead of Companies House reforms, Credas were the first IDSP to bring a product to market in-line with the new reforms, enabling directors to meet new statutory identity requirements seamlessly.
Credas Payments: Simplifying fee collection and improving transaction efficiency across the compliance journey through one singular and streamline process.
Credas Lettings: Enhancing end-to-end identity and compliance workflows for lettings professionals working with tenants and landlords in response to an update in sanctions requirements.
2026: A year of regulatory change
With transformative regulation on the horizon – including the 2026 MLR roll-out, AML supervisory reforms, and sweeping housing reforms – Credas is poised to play a central role in supporting businesses through a new era of compliance.
Credas will also bring its Compliance Wallet to market at the start of 2026, enabling reusable compliance and digital ID, helping property organisations move faster, reduce onboarding friction and enhance trust in every transaction.
