About Persona
Software Development
501-1000
Persona helps businesses manage KYC/AML/KYB programs, fight fraud, and build trust by automating any identity-related use case with our flexible identity infrastructure. For example, we help Coursera verify learners’ identities before delivering course credentials and Brex comply with strict international KYC/AML regulations.
Beyond securely collecting and verifying user information such as PII, government IDs, and selfies, our platform also provides flexible case review and orchestration tools to help businesses streamline and automate all their identity operations — from setting custom rules to ingesting third-party data and triggering external actions.
In short, Persona handles the complexities of securely collecting, verifying, and managing sensitive personal information, so you can stay focused on building your product.
