The Company 

HooYu is an innovative global identity verification product for a multitude of markets including financial markets, online gaming and the sharing economy. This exciting new ID solution uses the latest social, biometric and image processing technologies to solve the problem of knowing who you are dealing with whether they are next door or on the other side of the world. Unlike existing solutions, it does not rely on access to electronic databases to verify identities and is therefore a truly global solution.

HooYu also offers other identity verification solutions to help businesses comply with Anti Money Laundering (AML) / Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations.

The 192.com\HooYu management team have many years’ experience in the identity industry, having previously built a market leading business, which was subsequently acquired by Experian.
