We began in 2014 by building a free consumer app that puts your ID on your phone.

All potential applicants are encouraged to scroll through and read the complete job description before applying.

The Yoti app is designed with privacy at its core, giving individuals a safe way to share personal details with businesses and individuals.

Today, we have over nine 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.So, whether it’s verifying identities, sharing health test results, e-signatures, age verification or credential management
– our solutions are secure, privacy-preserving and get the good guys through faster while keeping fraudsters out.

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.The Yoti app 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.
