Certn, a global leader in background screening trusted by over 20,000 teams and some of the world’s biggest brands, is pleased to announce its acquisition of Trustmatic, a Europe-based remote identity verification company. This strategic move solidifies Certn’s position as a global leader in screening and identity verification technology and enhances its ability to meet the KYC needs of its growing customer base. It also helps Certn further its vision for a global verifiable credentials network.

Trustmatic’s leading identity verification technology consists of identity document reading and authentication, face liveness detection, and biometrics. Trustmatic’s service is entirely automated, which, similar to Certn’s AI-powered products, results in cost and time savings for clients. The service is ISO 27001-certified and suitable for global KYC requirements.

Certn’s CEO and Co-Founder, Andrew McLeod, said, “There doesn’t have to be a trade-off between user experience and security. This acquisition aligns seamlessly with our mission to provide faster and easier screening services. Trustmatic’s innovative technology complements our existing offerings and helps us better serve clients like those in financial services.”

Donal Greene, Founder and CEO of Trustmatic said, “In three short years, we’ve built an expert team of identity professionals and helped protect businesses across the globe from identity fraud while delivering a seamless user experience. Joining forces with Certn is the next step on our mission of providing the world’s most secure and easy-to-use identity verification solution technology.”
