IDnow

IDnow is a European provider of certified identity verification (AutoIdent, VideoIdent, eID and eSign) for strictly regulated industries. It was founded in 2014 and is based in Munich, Germany, covering Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Austria, Switzerland and the wider EU, with document coverage for 195 countries.

Products The product list includes AutoIdent AI, VideoIdent (BaFin and FINMA compliant), German eID via NFC, qualified electronic signature and KYB.

Group According to the company, IDnow brings together the German IDnow, the French ARIADNEXT and the British Trust Management, which gives it local expertise in several European markets.

Who it suits Target verticals are banks, EMIs, iGaming, crypto, telecom and mobility. Services are sold as enterprise SaaS; pricing depends on the identification methods and volumes and is agreed with the company. Local certification matters here because several markets accept only specific video or eID procedures for regulated onboarding.
