ID-Pal’s Impressive Growth
ID-Pal streamlines Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes within a GDPR-compliant solution and offers flexible deployment options, including an out-of-the-box solution, API/SDK integration, and as a Salesforce AppExchange.
No technical knowledge is required, and customisation of the app and verification requirements can be done in just a few clicks so that the user experience can be tailored across customer channels, product types and jurisdictions. Back-office efficiencies are immediate, allowing digital transformation through automated decisioning and smart workflows. End-users benefit from a seamless online onboarding experience where their identity, documents and address can be verified in seconds reducing any manual errors or laborious efforts.
Founded in 2016, ID-Pal is headquartered in Dublin and backed by Enterprise Ireland, and offers global coverage of more than 7000 identity documents and 200 verified address data sources to enterprise clients and SMEs across 30 industries and 200 countries and jurisdictions.
Following expansion into the UK in 2022 and a successful Series A funding round in July 2022, ID-Pal has continued experiencing exponential growth and adoption of its solutions leading to its launch into the US market earlier this year. Both market expansions in the UK and US were strategically timed to meet the escalating demand for real-time, secure and reliable identity verification solutions that directly address the challenge of identity fraud while enhancing the customer onboarding experience.
