Our Story
-
Distilled Identity was founded to help financial institutions better serve society by improving existing identity systems.
-
Legacy systems, which underpin financial services, struggle to correctly identify users. They decline valid payments far too often, frequently fail to identify bad actors, and cost large amounts to run and manage. Existing financial systems fail to serve more than three billion people worldwide, either excluding them entirely or limiting access.
-
Distilled Identity believes that everyone should have equal access to financial services and that our financial institutions should improve the world around them. Here at Distilled Identity we are hoping to unlock financial services for it’s next billion users.
Our Mission
Our mission is to build better digital identity to unlock financial services for the next billion people.
