This latest investment brings Veriff’s total secured funding to date to USD 92.8 million. Veriff investors include Y Combinator, Mosaic Ventures, Nordic Ninja, Accel, IVP and others.
“At Veriff, we are building trust and transparency in the online world, and our round marks the highest Series B amount raised to date in the IDV market, putting us one step closer to eliminating widespread identity fraud while helping businesses grow and go digital,” said Kaarel Kotkas, founder and CEO of Veriff. “Veriff is considered a “secret weapon” to fight against fraud and solve the hassle of online identity verification.
