Indiegogo to secure its crowdfunding platform with Onfido

Monday 24 September 2018 00:46 CET | News

Identity verification company Onfido has announced that the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo is using its AI-led identity verification to ensure the security of Indiegogo platform.

Indiegogo chose to use Onfido to also build trust within its user base. By verifying new users at the point of sign-up, they now have more assurance that people are who they claim to be, making it harder for bad actors to join the site.

With the Onfido’s AI-led tech, legitimate campaigners can now be quickly onboarded to Indiegogo. Indiegogo campaigners now take a selfie and a photo of their identity document; Onfido first checks that the government ID seems genuine, and then matches it to the user’s face.

With millions of international users accessing the platform every month, global coverage was a key deciding factor for Indiegogo. Onfido also offers granular results than other providers, enabling Indiegogo to make informed decisions about onboarding potentially high-risk users.
