“With Persona, we can now seamlessly run step-up verifications for our customers who would otherwise fail KYC verification, increasing conversion and reducing drop-off from legitimate customers.”

Ahmed Siddiqui
Chief payments officer at Branch

“When you think about how Persona verifies government IDs and selfies, it gives you peace of mind. It’s not only the different checks that the solution performs, but the contextual data you’re using to analyze and understand the images against. When you combine them all together, it starts to paint a picture of the individual that provides a higher level of due diligence.”

Todd Sorrel
Co-founder and CEO of 6lock

“Throughout the entire process from partner selection to implementation and testing, the level of support and collaboration with the Persona team was truly incredible… Thanks to the tight partnership with Persona this integration was a real success”
