Overview
Ondato is an identity-verification and onboarding company founded in 2018. It moved its headquarters to London in 2021 and runs research and development in Vilnius, Lithuania[9]. The company states it has onboarded more than 40 million users[9].
Its business verification product combines registry data with checks on the people behind a company. Ondato states coverage of 195 countries, with shareholder information in 105 jurisdictions and representative records from 188, drawn from local and global business registries[7]. The product maps ownership structures to identify beneficial owners, captures representatives’ identity documents with liveness and biometric checks, and screens against sanctions, PEP lists (it cites more than 16 million PEP profiles) and adverse media[7]. KYB forms are configurable with conditional logic and can be pre-filled from registry data, and periodic monitoring watches for changes in status, ownership or risk profile[7].
Ondato scores the maximum on this list’s methodology mainly because it is one of few vendors to publish a KYB price, listed as starting from €600[8]. The page does not say whether that is a monthly fee, a setup fee or a bundle, so buyers still need a quote. Named customers in testimonials include Ooredoo, SME Bank and Compensa Life[7]. Its shareholder coverage of 105 jurisdictions is narrower than its headline 195-country figure, which matters for UBO work in less transparent registers.
