Identity Verification / Digital KYC / Fintech Compliance

Strategic Profile

Veriff's platform offers secure authentication and cross-platform technology that aids in detecting fraud as well as recognizes any website or mobile application to verify drivers' licenses, passports, and other identities. The February 2026 acquisition of Vespia expanded Veriff from verifying individuals to verifying entities, with its KYB stack now covering business verification, AML screening, and database verification across 300+ jurisdictions using data from 5,000 sources.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Veriff became a unicorn in 2022, reaching the milestone in 7 years. The company has raised a total of $200M over 5 funding rounds and achieved a valuation of $1.5B. Recent strategic moves including the Vespia acquisition and vertical-specific product launches demonstrate expansion beyond core KYC.
