    trust-safety

    ""Yoti is a UK-based digital identity verification platform that provides age and identity verification solutions used by dating apps and social platforms to establish trust and prevent fraud. Founded to build the world's trusted identity platform, Yoti enables users to verify their identities using government-issued documents and biometric matching, with 2025 revenues reaching £29.0 million (62% growth year-over-year).

    The company's Digital ID product allows users to share verified identity information privately with other users, creating "trust markers" in dating contexts without tracking browsing behavior or linking to online activity. Yoti encrypts all user data on-device with private encryption keys accessible only via PIN, Face ID, or Touch ID, positioning privacy as a core differentiator in the identity verification space.

    Dating platforms use Yoti's verification technology to create verified badges on user profiles, reducing catfishing and improving user confidence in matched connections. Key milestones include achieving G2 recognition and expanding into 200+ countries while processing millions of identity verification transactions annually. In 2026, Yoti anticipates accelerated adoption driven by new digital ID legislation and rising demand for reusable credentials that prove identity without exposing sensitive personal data.""
