Veriff Identity Verification Platform

Veriff is an identity verification company founded in October 2015 by Kaarel Kotkas and based in Tallinn, Estonia, with offices in New York, London and Barcelona and a tech hub in Brazil opened in 2025. It helps fintechs, banks, marketplaces, mobility and online platforms confirm that users are who they claim to be while keeping onboarding fast.

The platform combines document checks across more than 12,500 documents from 230+ countries and territories with face matching and selfie liveness that detects deepfakes and bot attacks. Additional modules cover biometric re-authentication of returning users, AML screening against sanctions, PEP and adverse media, fraud intelligence for synthetic identities, age validation and estimation, proof of address, business and beneficial owner verification, and workflows that chain checks. Core models are built in-house, with AI decisions optionally backed by human verification specialists.

• Document verification: Checks 12,500+ documents from more than 230 countries and territories.
• Liveness and face match: Detects deepfakes and bots while matching selfies to ID photos.
• Biometric authentication: Re-recognises returning users for logins and high-risk actions.
• AML screening: Screens sanctions, PEP and adverse media with optional ongoing monitoring.
• Fraud intelligence: Spots synthetic identities and repeat fraud patterns in real time.
• Age and business checks: Validates age, proof of address and beneficial owners.

A Vietnamese securities or crypto platform can verify foreign investors' passports with liveness and AML checks. A ride-hailing or delivery platform can verify drivers and re-authenticate them by face before shifts. An online marketplace can verify sellers and beneficial owners before payouts.

Veriff reports an average identity decision in 6 seconds with about 99.6% accurate decisions, support for 50 languages and use by more than 3,000 businesses. Self-serve plans start at 0.80 USD per verification with a 15-day free trial, so smaller firms can start without a sales cycle. Hybrid plans add human review for higher-risk markets.

Deepfakes and AI-driven fraud are rising quickly, and certification schemes such as FIDO face verification and national digital identity trust frameworks are becoming buying criteria. Southeast Asian fintechs and platforms that serve users from many countries need verification that covers diverse documents and languages.
