Trulioo Announces $70M in Funding

Trulioo will use the new capital to advance its mission of building trust online

Trulioo, a Vancouver-based global identity verification provider, has raised a total of C$70 million in new funding, including $60 million in Series C financing led by Goldman Sachs Growth Equity, with participation from Citi Ventures, Santander InnoVentures and existing investor American Express Ventures, and $10 million in unannounced follow-on funding from early investors Blumberg Capital and BDC Capital from last year. This brings Trulioo’s total capital investment since 2011 to $96.6 million.

The funding round will lead the company into its next growth phase, including scaling up operations in new markets to tackle today’s most pressing global problems associated with verifying identities, furthering financial inclusion and safeguarding trust and privacy. Trulioo expects to grow its headcount to 200 people from 130 today, with hiring planned across its Vancouver, San Francisco and Dublin offices.

“Today, families, businesses and entire economies are being powered by the global shift towards a truly digital economy, which is exciting but also opens up new forms of risk,” said Stephen Ufford, CEO and founder of Trulioo. “We’re committed to leveraging technology to help our customers fight financial crime, money laundering and election fraud. I’d like to thank our investors for their trust in the work we are doing and for enabling us to push forward our solutions that transcend boundaries and channels, and which facilitate trusted transactions from anywhere, instantly.”
