The story

iProov is a UK biometric identity verification vendor, not a financial services company. Founded 2011 to build science-based liveness detection, its business is selling face-verification SDKs and APIs to banks, governments, healthcare, and border agencies. Its embedded-finance footprint is as a KYC/identity vendor sold INTO financial institutions — not as a company operating a financial stack itself.
