On May 22, 2023, Onfido, a global leader in automated identity verification, announced it has acquired Airside Mobile, Inc., a leader in private, digital identity sharing technology. Airside is the first company to bring user-controlled digital identity to the travel industry; its shareable digital identity technology has been used by over 10 million travelers and is trusted by major U.S. government agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration. Its customers include the world’s largest airlines, who allow passengers to use the innovative Airside Digital Identity App to fast-track their way through U.S. airports. The acquisition has already closed and the general availability of the Onfido products and services based on Airside’s technology will be available later this year.
