Persona enables businesses to verify customer identities, bringing trust to online interactions and helping with age verification, fraud prevention, and account recovery. It offers a comprehensive suite of automated identity verification components with worldwide coverage that can be configured, branded, and themed to create custom-tailored flows that cover any use case.
Businesses and governmental organisations can access Persona’s platform by way of an API, which lets them use a variety of documents from government-issued IDs through to biometrics to verify that customers are who they say they are. Persona’s platform also collects passive signals such as a user’s device, location, and behavioral signals to provide a more holistic view of a user’s risk profile which is useful in financial and insurance applications.
Having raised a large amount of funding through 2021, Persona has been focusing on scaling its offering and has developed a worldwide market presence, being used in almost every country and available in 20 languages. Going forward Persona will continue to play a valuable role in protecting businesses against losses associated with identity fraud, forming an identity layer to make the internet safer and more trusted.

Everyone who I have met and worked with so far have been intelligent and welcoming, and I feel like I can dive in and ask for help from anyone at the company, including C-Suite! Everyone works hard, and does so in a friendly way, taking opportunities to praise each other!
