53 Persona Testimonials

"I feel like our account manager at Persona is a coworker. It’s been night and day compared to our previous vendor."

“It lacked a number of automated checks that could have stopped fraudsters from getting through in the first place. We were spending hours each week cleaning up.”

"Discogs' marketplace has evolved from an informal Craigslist-type community to a more polished eBay-like experience. As part of that shift, we needed identity verification, but the challenge was getting it off the ground with limited resources."

"Because Persona provides such a great user-experience, our conversion rates have remained steady even after implementing a comprehensive onboarding process. At the same time we feel a lot more confident in our ability to weed out bad actors."

"Persona enables us to seamlessly customize the verification process, accounting for the unique needs and forms of identification across Coursera’s global learner community."

"Throughout the entire process from partner selection to implementation and testing, the level of support and collaboration with the Persona team was truly incredible. Thanks to the tight partnership with Persona this integration was a real success."

“Companies that handle a lot of money typically have a pretty big target on their backs when it comes to fraud. And yet here’s all this private information being slung around and traded between parties. It creates a lot of surface attack areas where fraudsters can come in via spoofing, phishing, man-in-the-middle attacks, etc., grab personally identifiable information (PII), and use it against the people that own it.”

"In the past, when a client needed to transfer funds, they might have picked up the phone and called the recipient for verification. But today, with voice deepfakes and the like, there’s less confidence in relying on a voice. We needed something that could provide high assurance without being overly burdensome."

"Persona not only helps us verify that everyone has a legitimate ID proving they are at least 18, but also that they’re actually the person behind the content."

"There was no competition when it came to Persona’s breadth of services — no one else offered everything."

“It’s a sensitive industry. Deals need to move quickly, or else they’ll fall through."

"We strove to automate as much of the PPP process as we could, from payroll documentation to identity verification, to ensure we could quickly and accurately submit sellers’ loan applications, and not be bottlenecked by manual reviews. Behind the scenes, Persona was invaluable in helping ensure tens of thousands of small businesses could have a smooth, transparent, and efficient PPP funding process through Square Capital."

"At Instacart, we try to do as much as we can on our own, but when it comes to big volumes and building out something very complex like an identity program, it made sense to go with a vendor."

"Persona’s expansive feature set meant that we didn’t have to make any concessions in choosing a solution. We didn’t have to settle for a subpar experience just because we needed global support, for example. Persona offered the breadth and depth we needed — without requiring trade-offs."

“We need to confirm that the person completing the Remote profile is the same person from the documents they’re submitting — and that the documents are valid. This is a crucial part of the process. If we cannot confirm this, we cannot move forward with employment.”
