Onfido

AI identity verification for onboarding, KYC and fraud prevention

About Onfido

Onfido, now part of Entrust as its Identity Verification solution, helps businesses verify customers online with AI-powered document and biometric checks. The Real Identity Platform combines document verification, facial biometrics, data verification, and fraud signals such as repeat attempts, known faces, and device intelligence, orchestrated through the no-code Onfido Studio and delivered via Smart Capture SDKs and APIs. Companies use it to onboard customers in seconds, meet global KYC and AML requirements, prevent deepfake and synthetic-identity fraud, and reuse a trusted identity across authentication and account recovery.
