The story
Founded in 2020 by Aida Lutaj (who experienced KYB/AML document friction firsthand), Legitify started as a remote online notarization platform operating between Dublin and Stockholm. It has progressively positioned itself as compliance infrastructure for fintechs and banks, emphasising its role in KYB/AML document authentication pipelines. The company integrated Veriff for identity verification in 2025, signalling a move from pure notarization utility toward becoming a broader legal-identity workflow platform for cross-border financial and corporate compliance.
