HooYu

HooYu is a global digital identity verification and customer onboarding platform that helps organisations confidently verify who their customers are in a fast-moving digital world. The company blends multiple KYC tools—including ID document validation, digital footprint analysis, geo-location mapping, facial biometrics, and traditional database checks with PEPs & sanctions screening—into a unified, customisable user experience. HooYu’s platform is engineered not only to increase the integrity of KYC processes but also to maximise the percentage of customers that can be successfully onboarded, reducing friction and abandonment rates. The team behind HooYu has deep roots in data and identity, having pioneered online people search with the launch of 192.com, one of the UK’s most widely used consumer data platforms. Building on that success, the same expertise was applied to create 192business, a market-leading identity verification solution that was acquired by Experian in 2012. HooYu itself was launched in 2016 and quickly gained traction with leading banks such as NatWest and top online gambling sites like Betfred. In March 2022, HooYu was acquired by Mitek Systems, Inc., a global leader in identity and fraud prevention technologies. Today, HooYu operates as a fully integrated part of Mitek, delivering advanced, end-to-end solutions that help businesses meet regulatory requirements, prevent fraud, and create seamless digital experiences.
