Persona, a leading identification platform, announced that LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, will use its technology to provide free identity verification to members in Brazil and Australia. With Persona, millions of LinkedIn members in both countries will be able to validate their identity and bring legitimacy to their networks in a smooth and secure manner.
“We’re excited to work with Persona to help users add an extra layer of trust and authenticity to their LinkedIn experience,” said Oscar Rodriguez, LinkedIn’s 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 identification platform that gives organizations the tools they need to customize verification experiences while reducing fraud and satisfying ever-changing compliance demands. LinkedIn will now be able to provide members with a simple and secure option to validate their government-issued NFC passports thanks to Persona. When a profile is validated, a verification badge appears on the member’s profile.
“We share a common vision with LinkedIn to build authentic connections, regardless of where users are based,” stated Rick Song, CEO of Persona. “We’re excited to continue collaborating with their team and support their global expansion.”
