Entrust Identity Verification

Assessment

Entrust Identity Verification is used by banks, fintechs, marketplaces, and governments that need to check an ID document and a selfie when a customer signs up. Onfido brought more than 1,200 customers, including Revolut and the UK Home Office’s travel authorization service, and its best use cases are document and face checks, no-code flows in Workflow Studio, and identity checks at sign-in through Microsoft Entra and Okta. It prices by quote, and its main competitors are Jumio, Veriff, Persona, and Facephi.

Husayn Kassai, Eamon Jubbawy, and Ruhul Amin founded Onfido in London in July 2012. Entrust completed its purchase in April 2024, when Onfido had over $140M of annual revenue and more than 500 employees. Tony Ball, who ran Entrust’s payments and identity business, became Entrust’s chief executive on March 31, 2026.

It fits a company that wants a mature document and face check and may also buy Entrust’s other identity and security products. It is a weaker fit for a small team that wants posted prices or a specialist focused only on verification.

User comments

We read Entrust’s announcement of the Onfido purchase and the Onfido product site to see what buyers value, and set them against the main limit a buyer meets.

• Upside

  “Buyers value a long-running document and face check with a wide customer base and ready-made SDKs.”

• Downside

  “Smaller teams note that prices are quote-only and that the product now belongs to a much larger security vendor.”

Where customer reviews couldn't be found, our analysts attempted to give a voice to buyer sentiment, drawing on real information from review sites, forums and product documentation.
