Integration of MANGOPAY’s end-to-end payment solution with Onfido’s identity verification technology streamlines user onboarding for its 2,500 clients.

Onfido, the global identity verification and authentication provider, and MANGOPAY, the leading end-to-end payment solution for marketplaces, crowdfunding platforms and FinTechs, have announced a partnership to simplify user onboarding and unify its Know Your Customer (KYC) processes today with Onfido’s award-winning identity verification solution. 

MANGOPAY makes payments easy for businesses, enabling them to have transactions in multiple currencies and with various payment methods. More than 2,500 platforms in 26 countries use MANGOPAY’s end-to-end payment API to manage payments for their businesses, automating all payment flows and commissions thanks to the flexible e-wallet system. With 200 million transactions per year, identity verification and authentication is an integral part of the solution to offer fluid and easy payments to customers of its platforms.

Onfido’s AI-powered technology will empower MANGOPAY clients to expedite user onboarding by greatly simplifying KYC processes while meeting regulatory obligations by securely and efficiently verifying the identities of users signing up to the platform. Users simply take a photo of their government-issued identity document (ID) and Onfido’s hybrid document verification solution checks that the ID is genuine and not fraudulent. Using the best combination of human and machine-learning fraud detection on identity documents, Onfido catches both common fraud and more sophisticated ID fraud types  — and as the AI evolves, the accuracy improves. Users are able to safely start their digital journey anywhere, anytime, through a simple and user-friendly online experience that meets regulatory requirements.
