Breaks revenue record for the 5th consecutive quarter as company propels to next phase of expansion
Onfido, the global identity verification and authentication provider, announced it has broken its revenue record for the fifth consecutive quarter, with over 100% increase year-over-year in global revenue, ending Q2 2021. The company also surpassed $100M in annual recurring revenue.
This strong momentum was driven by over 200% year-over-year sales growth in the U.S., as well as significant partner program expansions. These included new engagements with Visa and Amazon in the U.S. and cryptocurrency trading platform Phemex, which joins a growing list of leading crypto partners such as Wirex and LocalBitcoins.

As the global economy recovers from COVID-19, real identity is a critical enabler of growth across all industries. Juniper Research forecasts the digital identity verification market to reach $16.7B by 2026, with the total number of identity verification checks more than doubling in 2021 alone.
“Our record growth underscores the continued market demand for identity verification and authentication solutions and we’re delivering to meet that demand,” said Mike Tuchen, CEO of Onfido. “In this thriving digital economy, organizations require strong, flexible security that doesn’t compromise on user experience. Onfido equips organizations with the tools they need to consistently scale to meet these demands – and we’re only getting started.”
Other notable achievements in Q2:
- Launched Onfido Face Authenticate and Enterprise Encryption: Onfido Face Authenticate gives businesses the ability to continuously authenticate their users in a remote setting, without compromising user experience or privacy. New Customer Master Key (CMK) encryption using the AES-256 standard, one of the most secure encryption protocols, adds an additional layer of security for customers’ personal data on top of existing global disk-level encryption.
- Visa Fintech Partner Connect Program: Onfido extends its collaboration with Visa, joining its U.S. Partner Connect program, designed to help Visa’s issuing clients quickly connect with a vetted and trusted identity verification partner.
- Achieved Amazon’s AWS Accelerate ISV certification: a program driving new business and accelerating sales cycles by providing access to millions of active AWS customers looking for robust identity verification and authentication.
- American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) Check: provides Onfido customers with additional fraud signals to verify that information submitted on U.S. drivers licenses corresponds to a real driver’s license issued by a DMV, providing another strong signal against synthetic identity fraud.
