Spotlight on Autocorp.ai

1. What is the mission and vision of Autocorp.ai?

Our mission is to modernize the car-buying experience by building digital tools that put transparency, trust, and efficiency first. We envision a future where automotive retail is fully digital, seamless, and secure — empowering dealerships to sell smarter and customers to buy with confidence.

2. Why is trustworthy digital identity critical for existing and emerging markets?

Trust is the currency of digital commerce. In automotive, where vehicles are high-value assets, fraud has surged — with identity fraud making up over 75% of fraudulent applications in Canada. For existing markets, strong ID verification prevents costly theft and financial loss. For emerging markets, it lays the foundation for safe digital transactions, unlocking growth and inclusion by making financing and ownership accessible to more people.

3. How will digital identity transform the Canadian and global economy? How does your organization address challenges associated with this transformation?

Digital trust will accelerate financing, reduce fraud-related losses, and expand access to credit globally. In Canada alone, automotive fraud rose 54% year-over-year – a clear signal that transformation is needed. Our solution, AVA™ ID, leverages AI, biometrics, and OCR to verify identities in seconds while ensuring compliance with KYC and AML regulations. This helps dealerships and lenders eliminate inefficiencies, cut losses, and create safer digital ecosystems that power sustainable economic growth.

4. What role does Canada have to play as a leader in this space?

Canada is uniquely positioned to lead – combining strong financial institutions, progressive regulatory frameworks, and advanced data security expertise. By innovating in industries like automotive, Canada can export proven models of secure digital identity verification to global markets, setting the standard for how high-value transactions should be protected.

5. Why did your organization join the DIACC?

We joined the DIACC because digital trust is bigger than any one company. It requires collaboration across industries, regulators, and innovators. By being part of DIACC, we ensure that the automotive sector’s needs are represented while contributing to the creation of national standards that build confidence for consumers and businesses alike.

6. What else should we know about your organization?

Autocorp.ai is Canada’s first fintech to bring No-Impact Credit Checks, real-time Trade-in Valuations, and Fraud-Proof Test Drives into a unified digital retail suite. Our tools are already helping dealerships increase conversion by 35%, revenue by 28%, and lead generation by 55%. More than just software, we’re building the digital infrastructure that ensures every automotive transaction – from credit pre-approval to keys-in-hand – is safe, fast, and customer-first.

Le CCIAN publie sa Recommandation finale V1.1 du Profil des professionnels du droit du CCP

Le leader canadien de la confiance numérique, la DIACC, publie sa Recommandation finale V1.1 du Profil des professionnels du droit dans le cadre du Cadre pancanadien de confiance (CCP). – le premier profil du CCP axé sur l’industrie – et signale qu’il est prêt à être inclus dans son Programme de certification.

Pourquoi le Profil des professionnels du droit du PCTF est-il important ?
Le Profil des professionnels du droit établit des critères de conformité permettant aux avocats et à leurs mandataires d’effectuer la vérification de l’identité des clients de manière normalisée et vérifiable. En s’alignant sur les règles nationales et les priorités du secteur juridique, le Profil garantit que les processus fiables produisent des résultats cohérents, fiables et reproductibles lors de la vérification de l’identité d’un client.

Quels problèmes le Profil des professionnels du droit du PCTF résout-il ?
Le Profil répond aux défis croissants du secteur juridique concernant la vérification des clients dans un environnement numérique. Il réduit les risques et les variations en s’assurant que lorsque les avocats utilisent des mandataires tiers, ces derniers respectent des critères d’assurance minimaux. Il clarifie également les attentes envers les fournisseurs de services, les aidant à éviter le travail en double et les incohérences avec les exigences des barreaux. En comblant l’écart entre la pratique et la réglementation, le Profil renforce la confiance, réduit les charges de conformité et soutient l’innovation dans la prestation des services juridiques.

À qui le Profil des professionnels du droit du PCTF s’adresse-t-il ?

  • Barreaux et avocats : Bénéficient de la certitude que les services de vérification d’identité sont conformes et fiables.
  • Fournisseurs de services de vérification et mandataires : Disposent de normes claires pour démontrer leur conformité et renforcer leur crédibilité sur le marché.
  • Clients et régulateurs : Profitent d’une assurance accrue, d’une plus grande cohérence et d’une meilleure protection lors de l’utilisation de services juridiques numériques.

Recognizing Ontario’s Commitment to Building a Unified Canadian Workforce

September 17, 2025

In a time of economic uncertainty, global competition, and pressing labour shortages, Ontario’s “As of Right” initiative is a crucial step toward unlocking opportunities, enabling skilled professionals, including architects, engineers, geoscientists, and electricians, to contribute more quickly and effectively. This approach has the potential to protect workers, support employers, and help deliver critical nation-building projects without unnecessary delay.

For more than a decade, DIACC and its members have advanced digital trust and identity verification as essential enablers of labour mobility, economic resilience, and innovation across Canada. For example, a verified digital credential can enable an electrician licensed in New Brunswick to securely prove their qualifications to an Ontario regulator in minutes, rather than waiting months, allowing them to begin work on essential infrastructure projects without unnecessary red tape or risk. Ontario’s action aligns with this shared vision, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact as these measures are implemented.

DIACC remains committed to being a strong partner to Ontario, its people, and its businesses. Working alongside governments, industry leaders, and communities across the country, we will continue to advance a secure, interoperable digital trust ecosystem that ensures every Canadian’s credentials and contributions are recognized seamlessly, supporting productivity, innovation, and prosperity from coast to coast to coast.
