Founded in 2014 as a video-based identity verification startup serving regulated industries in Germany, IDnow expanded across Europe through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions (including AriadNext).

Its strategic focus is on eIDAS 2.0 and PSD3 compliance readiness, positioning it as the identity infrastructure layer for European digital services.
