Pay-by-the-drink US business identity verification providers
2 points by willmadden on Nov 16, 2022 | hide | past | favorite
I run a fintech that facilitates cross-border payments for US based businesses.

Previously we were using a 'banking as a service' provider that had business ID verification as part of the bundle.

Now we have a bank that allows us to process payments, but we're not provided with services for ID verifying businesses and beneficial owners. Having been through an audit, I know that's something we absolutely need to have in place before we consider onboarding new businesses.

Some vendors I'm investigating:

withpersona.com - seems focused on KYC (retail customers) not businesses - seems like a weak fit

LexisNexus "instantID-Business" https://risk.lexisnexis.com/products/instantid-business - seems appropriate, wondering if they have an ancient tech stack

id.trulioo.com - seems appropriate, wondering if they have massive fixed fees every month vs. pay-by-the-drink (we might onboard a dozen businesses a month, we don't need a plan with four or five figure monthly charges)

alloy.com - every bank uses these guys, which I like. Again, concerned about pricing.

socure.com - I think Alloy resells them anyway.

If anyone can share recommendations, experiences, it would be greatly appreciated!
