What Checkin.com does

Checkin.com Group AB is a Swedish, publicly listed (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: CHECK) identity-verification SaaS provider headquartered in Stockholm. The company was founded in 2017 as Regily by former Klarna product executives, rebranded in 2021, and listed via a SEK 45M IPO at a ~SEK 359M valuation that was oversubscribed by more than 2,000%. The platform delivers AI-driven document authentication, passive liveness detection, face biometrics (1:1 and 1:N), NFC chip reading of biometric passports, AML/PEP/sanctions screening, bot detection (Botlens), signature validation, and proof-of-address verification across 14,000+ ID document types spanning 190+ countries. Customers access the technology via white-label Web, iOS, Android, and React Native SDKs, a RESTful Verification API, or pre-integrated platform partnerships with iGaming vendors (Playtech, Gaming Innovation Group, EveryMatrix, ORYX, The Mill Adventure, Go Gaming, Aspire Global) and CRM/workflow platforms (Creatio).

Checkin.com monetizes through a volume-based Verification-as-a-Service model: enterprise and platform customers pay per verification across configurable feature bundles (ID scanning + liveness, database checks, add-ons such as NFC, deepfake protection, signature, bot detection, storage, geo-block). The pricing carries a minimum monthly commitment and is sold through a hybrid GTM combining direct enterprise field sales, channel partners (pre-integrated platforms), and self-serve (hosted verification page). Named enterprise customers include Ryanair, WestJet Group, Ooredoo, Holland Casino, Stake.com, Wunderino, BetCity, Casumo, ComeOn, Superbet, NorthStar Gaming, Pacaso, and iute; vertical focus is heaviest in iGaming, with growing footprints in airlines, telecom, fintech, and hospitality. The company is ISO 27001, SOC 2, and eIDAS certified, holds KJM age-verification accreditation in Germany, and is in active leadership transition with CFO Martin Bäumel serving as Interim CEO (effective December 12, 2025) ahead of incoming CEO Arif Rehman (effective no later than May 4, 2026). FY2024 net revenue was KSEK 77,477 (approximately $7–8M USD), down 20% YoY from KSEK 96,987, with gross margin of 74% and LTM NRR of 58% — signaling a turnaround context that the new leadership and recent enterprise wins (WestJet, Ooredoo, Creatio, Paravision) are positioned to address.
