Announcing our Digital Identity Toolkit
A few years ago, we realised that for those not within the field, the world of digital identity is a bit of an enigma. Then we realised that we’re in as good a position as any to do something about that. So we went about researching, collaborating and creating something that we hope will help: our Digital Identity Toolkit. What is the Digital Identity Toolkit? This Toolkit is a collection of everything you need to know about digital identity. We’ve covered topics from identity basics to examples of how digital identity is used in the real world.

Doing things the Yoti way: our commitments
We’re on a mission to become the world’s trusted identity platform. Building trust means not only ensuring our technology is robust and secure, but doing the right thing as a company. It’s easy enough to measure success against our own standards. But we know that to truly make a difference, we need to go further than that and look externally too. One way that we do this is through publicly committing to uphold frameworks and standards created by completely independent, third-party organisations. This third and final part of our Governance series contains a snapshot of just some of the commitments

Doing things the Yoti way: our ethical principles
As we made our way through our most recent B Corp certification process, we found that out of the five main assessment areas, we were particularly strong in the Governance section. So we thought we’d take a bit of a deep dive into our governance processes to see how we’ve achieved a score that we’re really quite proud of. We’ve created a three-part series explaining the key measures we have in place and the effect that these structures and policies have on our day-to-day activities, which ultimately result in us doing better business. When Yoti was founded, one of the

Announcing the start of B Corp Month
We’re really proud to be one of the UK’s founding B Corps, and every March, purposeful businesses come together to celebrate B Corp month. It’s a time for B Corps to raise awareness of just how important it is to move away from the outdated “business as usual” approach, and instead demonstrate how business, if done right, can be a force for good. But what is a B Corp? Certified B Corporations, also known as B Corps, are companies that are said to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. There are now over 6,000

How Curio traders in Malawi could benefit from digital identity
As we go about our social purpose work we regularly get to speak to local, national and international non-profit organisations. Over the years, we’ve found that many struggle to understand the many ways digital identity solutions might help them in their work. As part of our wider efforts to help the sector make sense of the technology, today we’re publishing the last in a series of articles looking at the use of digital identities in six different humanitarian and environmental settings. Please note that, while the technology use case is real, the scenarios are hypothetical in nature, and the projects
