We’re celebrating a landmark 2025 here at Credas, achieving significant growth, expanding our customer base, and strengthening our position as the market leader heading into 2026.
Over the past 12 months, we have increased our customer base by over 40%, securing a leading market share across our 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.
We now processes over five million people a year, underscoring the platform’s growing importance for organisations navigating heightened compliance requirements.
To support our rapid expansion and ambitious product roadmap, we have welcomed several strategic hires this year, 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. We’ve also expanded our Customer Success team to ensure we continue to deliver best-in-class support as client numbers surge, and we’ve appointed Jon Parish as Compliance Officer, further reinforcing our leadership in regulatory insight, risk management and industry best practice.
A growing customer and partner ecosystem
Our momentum continues to accelerate, driven by our 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. We have also expanded its services within Co-op Legal, while welcoming accountancy innovators Crunch Accounting and TaxCalc to our client base. A standout milestone this year is a strategic collaboration with market leader Bright, now a highly valued partner in our rapidly strengthening ecosystem.
Key strategic partnerships have also flourished, in 2025 we joined The 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.
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
We’re set to redefine the future of property compliance with the launch of a world first Compliance Wallet which saw it’s first transaction being carried out in mid December with our long term partner Dezrez. We will be rolling out to clients 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 where we launched several other market-defining solutions:
- Director ID Verification : Launched ahead of Companies House reforms, we 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 – we are poised to play a central role in supporting businesses through a new era of compliance.
We’d like to thank all our clients for the wonderful support this year, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
