Identity platform Persona has announced that LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, is leveraging its platform to offer members in Brazil and Australia free identity verification.
With Persona, millions of LinkedIn members across both countries will now be able to seamlessly and securely confirm their identity through LinkedIn and add authenticity to their networks.
“We’re pleased to be partnering with Persona to help users add an extra layer of trust and authenticity to their LinkedIn experience,” said Oscar Rodriguez, LinkedIn Head of Trust and Privacy. “We’re looking forward to continuing to scale verification with Persona’s flexible, robust approach to identity.”
Persona is a unified identity platform that provides businesses with the building blocks they need to customize verification experiences, while mitigating fraud, and meeting ever-evolving compliance standards.
With Persona, LinkedIn will now be able to offer members a frictionless and secure way to verify their government-issued NFC passports. Once a profile is verified, a verification badge will be visible on member’s profiles.
“We share a common vision with LinkedIn to build authentic connections, regardless of where users are based,” said Rick Song, CEO, Persona. “We’re excited to continue collaborating with their team and support their global expansion.”
Persona offers a unified identity platform that gives businesses the building blocks they need to securely collect, verify, manage, and make decisions about individuals’ and businesses’ identities.
