Episode notes

The chapter explores how Footprint simplifies user verification processes for companies by securely handling data collection, verification, and storage. It discusses the integration points, direct user interaction, and dynamic step-ups for thorough verification. Additionally, it compares Footprint with Stripe in terms of identity management and delves into the technical aspects of risk and identity verification in regulated industries.

Almost every application or system involves some sort of user onboarding. Increasingly, companies must implement know-your-customer and know-your-business compliance, or KYC and KYB, as part of that process. In addition, they often handle personal identifiable information, or PII.

Footprint is a developer platform that was co-founded by Alex Grinman for handling identity, security, fraud, and authentication.

Alex joins the show to talk about identity verification, security, compliance, Footprint’s frontend and backend design, and much more.
