What Verihubs does

Verihubs is an Indonesian AI-powered verification company. We have helped more than 300 companies ranging from digital disruptors to Fortune 500 companies in Southeast Asia. Ranked #1 in Indonesia by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in terms of performance and accuracy, our AI-based face recognition (FR) technology became a staple in fraud prevention in this new era of digital acceleration. Our solutions have been trusted by BCA - the largest private bank in Indonesia, IFG (one of the largest state-owned insurance), Commonwealth Bank, Maybank, Bukalapak, FAZZ, Ministry of Finance, and many other industry leaders. The pandemic has accelerated the digital development and adoption of products, services, and processes by 4-7 years according to recent studies. However, the verification solutions and related data to meet these digital needs are still so behind the ideal mark. We at Verihubs are on a mission to build an all-inclusive automated and instant verification platform for Indonesia.
