Onfido
Onfido is a London-based identity verification company founded in 2012 that uses AI and biometric technology to help businesses verify user identities remotely. The platform combines document verification with facial biometrics to enable onboarding for financial services, sharing economy, healthcare, and other regulated industries. Onfido was acquired by Entrust in 2024 for approximately $400 million. Before the acquisition, the company had raised over $200 million and served customers including Revolut, Zipcar, and Bitstamp across 195 countries, processing millions of identity checks annually.
Veriff
Veriff is an Estonia-born identity verification company that has become part of the trust layer for digital businesses operating in regulated or fraud-sensitive environments. The platform helps companies confirm that a user is real and matches the identity documents they present, combining document analysis, biometric checks, liveness detection, and contextual fraud signals into a single workflow. That matters for fintech, mobility, marketplaces, and online platforms that need to balance conversion, compliance, and abuse prevention at scale. Estonia is a fitting home for a company like Veriff because the country's digital-state legacy and export-oriented software culture created strong conditions for trust infrastructure businesses. Within the broader European ecosystem, Veriff stands out as a Baltic company that turned regional technical strengths into a globally relevant category. It also connects naturally with adjacent infrastructure players in the directory: onboarding-heavy fintechs need identity verification, and workflow platforms can automate the compliance and security processes around those checks. As a result, Veriff is not just another startup profile, but a useful example of how European infrastructure companies become indispensable across many other sectors.
