About
Smile ID is an identity verification company providing onboarding, authentication and AML screening tools for businesses. Its CEO, Mark Straub, started the company as Smile Identity in 2017. Its onboarding checks use government database lookups, document verification and biometrics, it re-verifies users at high-stakes moments such as logins and transaction approvals, and it screens identities against more than 1,000 sanctions, PEP and adverse-media lists. Its SDKs and models are built for local documents and faces and for low light, low bandwidth and a wide range of devices. The company lists offices in San Francisco, Lagos, Cape Town and Nairobi.
