At Persona, we're building the first universal and comprehensive identity infrastructure to help businesses of all sizes better serve and protect their end users' identities. Our identity platform enables businesses to collect and manage their end users' personal information securely, verify that their end users are who they say they are, analyze and detect fraud and abuse, and pull sensitive reports about their end users in a privacy-centric way. In a world where consumer behaviors are changing and privacy and identity are taking on a new meaning, we want to help businesses find their superpowers and do it while putting their end users, the people, first.

What We Do
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 BlockFi comply with strict international KYC/AML regulations.
Beyond securely collecting and verifying user information such as PII, government IDs, and biometric 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.
