Onfido alternative for marketplaces (2026)

Onfido is now part of Entrust and sold as Entrust Identity Verification. It's a strong choice for document and biometric checks of individuals at scale. Marketplaces that also need to verify business sellers against Companies House, check who owns them and screen them for sanctions often look for an alternative or an addition. TrustVerify combines individual KYC with UK KYB (Companies House, PSC/UBO, LEI), sanctions/PEP screening and risk signals.
