Onfido

Onfido is an identity verification company. It uses artificial intelligence to judge whether a government-issued ID document is genuine or forged, then compares the document with the person's facial biometrics. Companies use the result to sign up customers remotely and securely.

What Onfido offers

• Document checks — AI assessment of whether an official ID is real or fraudulent.
• Facial biometric matching — a comparison between the face on the document and the person presenting it.
• Remote onboarding — identity checks that let a business accept new customers without meeting them.

Who it works with

Businesses that need to confirm who their customers are online. Named clients on its profile include Revolut, Zipcar and Bitstamp, spanning banking, mobility and crypto trading. The company frames its mission as building an open world where identity is the key to access.
