Amazon has the resources to go through intensive identity verification processes. And so do banks. Most tech companies (especially startups) don't.

- nrb 11y agoDoesn't this sound like something a startup can come in and alleviate? Anyone have any recommendations for identity verification as a service?
- DasIch 11y agoThere are at least two such services in Germany WebID[1] and PostID[1] (not to be confused with the older PostIdent that requires identification at a post office). I haven't used PostID yet but with WebID you basically have a Skype video call where you show them your ID.

- bostik 11y agoOh, there's nothing new about that. Startups have identified and entered the space long ago, and the survivors have grown. So KYC as a service is certainly a thing, and I know of two: Tracesmart & Onfido.
