Identy

Identy.io is a biometric authentication technology company specializing in mobile-first identity verification solutions for financial institutions, government agencies, and telecommunications providers. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Dover, Delaware, the company has operations across five continents including presence in Latin America, the United States, and the Middle East and Africa. Identy.io provides touchless and contactless biometric authentication using facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, and palm biometrics captured through standard smartphone cameras without requiring specialized hardware.

The company offers modular SDKs for Android, iOS, and web platforms that integrate into existing mobile and web applications. Key use cases include digital onboarding and eKYC processes, transaction authentication, document verification, and biometric identity management. The platform supports integration with national ID databases and government registries across sectors including banking, fintech, healthcare, enterprise security, and public services. Identy.io is a founding member of the FIDO Alliance and maintains compliance with international standards including NIST SP 800-63, ISO 30107-3, FIDO2, and regional data protection regulations. The company has processed over one billion transactions and provides verification in under three seconds. Notable implementations include deployment at Banco Popular Dominicano for fingerprint biometric solutions in mobile banking applications. As of 2024, the company reported approximately 82 employees and annual revenue of approximately $3.8 million, operating as a bootstrapped entity without external venture funding.
