Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
As more business than ever is conducted online, identity verification has become key as companies look to prevent the rising tide of identity fraud. Onfido allows businesses to verify a user’s identity automatically using AI to verify uploaded identity documents against a range of biometric markers and online footprint metrics.
As a disruptor in a field sorely needing innovation, Onfido has built a commanding market lead. However it now faces increased competition from the likes of Stripe, Persona and IDNow. Onfido has maintained its market lead through strong, focused R&D, winning it multiple awards including the CogX Best AI product in FinTech for 2022.
Onfido has seen a staggering growth in revenue over the past few years and its customers include the likes of President's Choice Financial, Revolut and Deliveroo. Having raised a large amount of investment funding and achieved sustained profitability, it has now been acquired by Entrust, a leader in payments, identities, and data security. This new chapter for Onfido will open its services up to Entrust's large customer base, a mutually beneficial move.
