Trulioo is a Canadian-based company that provides electronic identity and address verification of both individuals and businesses.[2] Trulioo customers use the service to verify the identity of their own customers as part of 'Know Your Customer' verification. It began as a service to Facebook in 2012, and as of 2014 includes verification for Google and LinkedIn.[3]

History

Stephen Ufford and Tanis Jorge founded Trulioo in 2011. The company raised $6 million in series A funding in 2014, led by Tenfore Holdings and with participation from BDC Capital and Blumberg Capital.[4] That same year, Trulioo launched a platform for international identity verification.

In 2015, Trulioo raised $15 million from American Express Ventures, BDC Capital, Blumberg Capital and Tenfore Holdings.[5] The company continued expanding globally, opening a satellite office in Dublin in 2018.[6]

In 2019, Trulioo secured $70 million in funding, including a $60 million series C led by Goldman Sachs Growth Equity and with participation from Citi Ventures, Santander InnoVentures and earlier investors.[7]

Trulioo reached unicorn status in 2021 following a $394 million series D funding round led by TCV, which valued the company at $1.75 billion.[8]

In 2022, the company acquired HelloFlow, a Denmark-based no-code onboarding platform, and expanded its operations to Singapore and San Diego.[9] In 2023, Trulioo rebranded and launched a new global identity verification platform for person and business verification.[10]

In 2025, Vicky Bindra was appointed Chief Executive Officer.[11]
