Overview
Onfido was founded in 2012 as a University of Oxford spinout and was acquired by Entrust, which announced completion of the deal on 9 April 2024; at the time Onfido had about 500 staff and reported revenue of more than £140 million[9]. The product has since been rebranded: Entrust’s documentation states that following the acquisition Onfido is now known as Entrust, and new Entrust IDV mobile SDKs replace the earlier Onfido Smart Capture SDKs[10]. Its European credentials are notable. Entrust states that its identity-verification package is certified by an EU-accredited conformity assessment body against ETSI TS 119 461, ETSI EN 319 401 and the eIDAS Regulation, and that it has passed conformity assessment against Romanian Decision 564/2021[11]. These certifications let qualified trust service providers use it for identity proofing.
