Girl looking at phone

We're on a mission to become the world's most trusted identity platform.

We make it safer for individuals to prove who they are

We began in 2014 by building a free consumer app that puts your ID on your phone. Yoti ID is designed with privacy at its core, giving individuals a safe way to share personal details with businesses and individuals.

Today, we have over 12 million app downloads around the world. We’ve expanded our offering to a suite of business solutions that span identity verification, age estimation, e-signing and AI anti-spoofing technologies.

We’re working together to fix an outdated identity system

This is not a journey we make on our own but with policy advisors, think tanks, researchers, academics, humanitarian bodies, our users and everyday people.

How we make money

Yoti ID will always be free for individuals. We make money by charging businesses to check the identity details of their customers.

Our systems are built in a way that means only the user can access their data, which means we cannot mine or sell user data to third parties.

Social purpose is at the heart of everything we do

As a certified B Corp, we’re part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact. Having an identity is a human right. It gives us access to resources and unlocks a whole range of opportunities. That’s why we want to make Yoti available to everyone.

Built as a force for good

The way we build our solutions is different to other tech companies. Yoti was founded on a strong set of principles that we uphold to ensure we continue to only build tech for good.
