The collaboration will also allow Mode to expand its network of financial technology partners. Each of the partners, according to Mode, shares the company’s core values of security, compliance, and technological innovation.
A smooth process of authentication
The partners describe a simple process of ID verification:
Customers use Onfido’s AI-enabled verification technology, during its customers’ onboarding and ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) process. The applicants simply take a photo of their government-issued ID and a selfie.
Then, Onfido checks the ID seems genuine and matches it to the user’s face. This ensures the person presenting the identity is its legitimate owner and is physically present.

In addition to identity verification, Mode has worked with Onfido to simplify and automate the address verification process. This will reduce the need for Mode customers to navigate complicated onboarding procedures.
“Creating a seamless user experience has been critical in the makeup of our mobile application,” said Janis Legler, Head of Product and Partnerships at Mode.
“Bringing trust to digital interactions”
Mode is a London-based Fintech firm building a next-generation ecosystem of products and services that combine the benefits of traditional and digital finance.
Onfido bills itself as the new identity standard for the internet. It’s AI-based technology assesses whether a user’s government-issued ID is genuine or fraudulent, and then compares it against their facial biometrics.
Husayn Kassai, CEO and co-founder at Onfido commented:
“We bring trust to digital interactions worldwide, securely verifying a user identity at the onboarding and ongoing management of that identity. Service providers shouldn’t have to compromise on user experience or security, and we’re thrilled to be working with Mode who demand both as they build a next-generation financial ecosystem.”
