Hey PH 👋 Alain here - I lead Plaid’s identity and fraud teams and I’m super excited to launch Plaid Identity Verification and Monitor. Some background: my co-founders and I spent the last nine years building identity verification software after founding a company called Cognito. Back then, we wanted to build a Bitcoin remittance product and while doing that, we realized the real opportunity was building software to help Bitcoin companies navigate the ever changing KYC and compliance landscape. Since then, we’ve worked alongside hundreds of startups to help verify their users and comply with KYC regulations including the biggest names in fintech and crypto like Brex, Coinbase, Wyre, Affirm, FTX and Republic. A little under a year ago, we were acquired by Plaid. By joining forces with Plaid, we can offer a verification experience that no other companies are capable of providing, with way more value per $. Here’s why I’m excited about Plaid Identity Verification and Monitor - a complete KYC and AML solution for businesses of all sizes: 🌎 Supports 16,000+ ID documents in 200 countries and territories 🏛️ Authoritative data source checks in 36 countries ⚡ A fast autofill verification process that takes as little as 10 seconds - start to finish (no exaggeration) 📱 A beautiful UI built on deep user conversion expertise from the Plaid team ✨ Cutting-edge risk and fraud engine with behavioral analytics, email, phone, and device indicators 🔍 Global proprietary watchlist and PEP screening with daily re-scans ⚙️ Little additional development work required for existing Plaid customers 👀 Soon: deeper integration with other Plaid products to provide more anti-fraud insights Give the product a try and leave a comment below if you have any feedback or feature requests.
