Providing reliable solutions focused on three principles, trust, privacy, and inclusion: Trulioo

The online ecosystem of identity management is more dynamic than ever before. It’s a flexible and interactive system that makes it possible to establish and manage digital identities. These are critical in acting as authentic proofs of identity for accessing modern sharing systems such as in ecommerce platforms, digital banking, travel services and more.

As technologies expand to reach larger audiences, serve more customers and secure businesses, hurdles in digital identity verification have become more serious. With this said, maintaining high security standards is very important, which can be done through partnering with an expert. In the light of foregoing, we introduce you to Trulioo, a company that provides robust and comprehensive global identity verification solution in the market.

The founders of Trulioo, Stephen Ufford and Tanis Jorge, have over a decade of experience working in data-driven businesses. The duo garnered an intimate understanding of the data industry and recognized the limitations of the current identity verification system and the massive possibilities for the future. After successfully launching and exiting three startups together, they wanted their fourth company to be meaningful and impactful at a global scale.

Their “aha” moment occurred after watching a CNN segment about a woman from India who wept after seeing her Facebook profile for the very first time. It was right then and there that Stephen and Tanis realized the profound impact a digital identity had on people, especially in developing countries where most citizens don’t have a record of their existence.

With a digital footprint, they no longer had to be invisible; they could participate.

Globally, there are an estimated 220 million children whose birth is not recorded, excluding China, where figures are unknown. More than 2 billion people in this world are unbanked and unable to access financial services, primarily due to a lack of traditional identity documentation. After witnessing the tremendous emotional reaction and sense of belonging experienced from the woman from India – resulting from creation of a digital profile (footprint), Stephen and Tanis knew their next business venture together would make a profound difference in this world, hence the launch of Trulioo.

Trulioo’s disruptive technology encapsulates the strengths of traditional ID verification and implements the latest capabilities in online tech today. Trulioo has developed a global ID verification solution that is not constrained by geography, economic status, age or gender, and available to any business or organization around the world at a low cost and frictionless manner – all with consumer privacy at the forefront.
