Monday 3 April 2023 15:08 CET | News

Netherlands-based AI startup Fourthline has secured USD 54 million in funding round in order to offer customers improved ID check services in the finance industry.

Following this announcement, the company will use its set of AI-based services to improve the identification and verification procedure of clients, while helping businesses comply with anti-money laundering rules. Furthermore, the funds will be leveraged into the development of its technology. 

The valuation of the company is not disclosed at the moment. Currently, Fourthline has multiple users, including N26, Qonto, Trade Republic, FlatexDEGIRO, Scalable Capital, Western Union, and multiple marketplaces like Wish. 

While using computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, the organisation focuses on detecting fraudulent activities and eliminating them efficiently, fastly, and securely.  Its services cover multiple areas, like examining ID documents and files, checking records for a place of residence, verifying names against sanction lists, parsing biometric data, and more. 

Moreover, Fourthline aims to get more R&D resources while using this sum of money, to improve its products and offer its clients a safer and more seamless experience. 

The firm built its technology from the beginning while using its proprietary data set, prioritising the easier and more controlled way to modify and keep an eye on it. Fourthline uses its own OCR (optical character recognition) model, alongside multiple other tools designed to confirm if the information is authentic or not, along with the reason why the confirmation was or was not made. 

In the long run, Fourthline prioritises the focus on the importance of building its own technology with its engineers and employees, as well as the importance of tackling the compliance challenges present in the industry that customers, companies, or businesses might face and need support on.
