Company mission
To enable all individuals to prove who they are and control how their information gets shared.
27% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Berbix is part of a flurry of startups looking to revolutionize identity verification through digital and machine-learning technology. These advances mean ID verification-as-service softwares can offer more accurate and faster detection than human screeners, an advancement that means the market is expected to be worth $20 billion. Berbix narrows in on photo ID verification in the fraud-prevention sector.
In recent years, Berbix saw a big boost, with companies needing to update their ID verification procedures to account for the lack of in-person ID checks. As, however, did rival startups, including Onfido and Jumio, who are both significantly better funded, and Veriff, who offer a cheaper monthly service.
Berbix is a company with strong employee benefits and friendly values. The company has gone one step further and has launched a P2P product BerbixMe - a new selfie biometrics solution designed to help build trust between individuals before meeting in real life, for dating, finding roommates, or other similar scenarios.
