What Veriff does

Veriff is an AI-native identity verification company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, with additional offices in Tartu (Estonia), New York (USA), London (UK), and São Paulo (Brazil). Its platform analyzes 1,000+ data signals per verification session across document, biometric, network, and device dimensions, covering 12,500+ government-issued IDs across 230+ countries and territories in 48 languages, with stated 99.6% accuracy and approximately 6-second average decision time. The product suite is organized around four pillars: Identity Verification (ID&V, Proof of Address, Database Verification, Age Validation, AML Screening), Biometric Verification (Biometric Authentication, Liveness, Age Estimation), Fraud Prevention (Fraud Protect, Fraud Intelligence with CrossLinks, Risk Labels, and FaceBlock), and Know Your Business (Business Verification, expanded through the February 2026 acquisition of Vespia).

The company uses a hybrid verification model that combines AI automation with trained human specialists, supported by proprietary tools such as CrossLinks cross-session fraud intelligence, Assisted Image Capture, passive liveness, and FaceBlock. The technology stack is exposed via REST API, mobile SDK, and web SDK, and is integrated with partner ecosystems including Visa Fintech Partner Connect, AWS Partner Network, and Data Zoo. Veriff holds a broad set of certifications: FIDO DocAuth (April 2026), UKDIATF (February 2026), ISO/IEC 27001:2022, SOC2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, iBeta ISO/IEC 30107-3 Level 1 and Level 2, and UK Cyber Essentials.

Veriff generates revenue through a mix of per-verification usage-based fees (third-party reported at ~$0.80 per check), enterprise subscription plans with volume discounts and 12-month contracts, and self-serve plans. Implementation, tuning, and resubmissions are included at no extra charge in enterprise tiers. The company serves 3,000+ business customers globally, with named enterprise anchors including Western Union, Uber, Bumble, Monzo, Wise, Bolt, Instacart, Stake/Easygo, Deel, Webull, Trustpilot, and Blockchain.com, across Financial Services, eCommerce and Marketplaces, Communities (dating and social), iGaming, Mobility, and HR verticals. In December 2025, Veriff disclosed that it doubled its revenue to over $100M USD, tripled verification volumes year-over-year, grew authentication volumes more than 30-fold, and reached profitability.
