Footprint

KYC/KYB onboarding with biometrics

Overview

Footprint verifies customers and businesses during onboarding using biometrics and cryptographic credentials tied to verified PII. Its platform collects identity, payment card, and custom data, validates, tokenizes, and securely vaults it to create matchable records while fingerprinting where needed. Businesses customize the onboarding experience with over 80 adjustable variables to match their brand, while guiding users through the verification steps. The goal is to reduce fraud and increase verified customer volumes by offering scalable, low-friction KYC/KYB onboarding with usage-based pricing.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Footprint updated docs and product pages in July 2026, signaling active platform investment.
  • The 2024 QED-led $13 million Series A funded product expansion and fraud-suite development.
  • Treasury Prime’s 2024 partnership expands bank access for Footprint’s KYC and KYB tools.

What critics are saying

  • Persona, Alloy, and Sardine compress Footprint’s pricing before 2027 renewal cycles.
  • Treasury Prime and similar partners can route banks to incumbent vendors, shrinking Footprint distribution.
  • If banks standardize on embedded KYC suites, Footprint becomes a feature, not a company.

What makes Footprint unique

  • Footprint bundles KYC, KYB, fraud, and vaulting into one onboarding decision engine.
  • Its 2026 playbooks, recipes, and passkey flows reduce engineering work for regulated buyers.
  • Customizable UI and 80-plus variables let customers match brand without rebuilding compliance flows.
