The firm, founded in 2012 by Oxford graduates Ruhul Amin, Husayn Kassai and Eamon Jubbawy, counts fintech unicorn Revolut and car-sharing service Zipcar among its biggest clients.

In January, the company acquired US-based tech company Aviata and partnered with some of the world's largest identity companies including ForgeRock, SecureKey Technologies and Okta.

Business Insider recently reported the firm was in talks with the US government to design "immunity passports" for those that had recovered from COVID-19.

Speaking to Business Insider, CEO Kassai said the firm hoped to "standardize" account security in the same way Big Tech giants had defined their own niches.

"We're standardizing the way we prove our real identity, in a similar way to how Facebook has standardized the way we share our social identity, and LinkedIn has standardized the way we signal our professional identity," he said.

"Over the next few years, we'll all be able to use our real identity to seamlessly access everything from financial services, online healthcare, trust marketplaces; to self-check-ins at airports, hotels and car rentals."
