For the second year in a row, Ondato has been recognised as one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies in the prestigious FT 1000 list, compiled by the Financial Times in collaboration with Statista. The annual ranking highlights companies across industries—including Fintech, energy, e-commerce, and more—based on their compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue.
This year, Ondato has ranked #420, reaffirming our sustained growth and resilience in an ever-evolving economic and geopolitical landscape. Among the 64 Fintech companies featured in 2025, Ondato ranks 29, being the only identity verification solution to make the list.
What Drives Ondato’s Continued Growth?
As we celebrate this achievement for the second consecutive year, let’s take a look at why businesses continue to choose Ondato:
Unmatched Cost Efficiency
Traditional Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes come with significant costs—spanning labor, office space, technology, and training. Hiring skilled compliance professionals alone can be more expensive than deploying a fully automated solution. Ondato’s technology-driven approach helps businesses cut compliance costs by up to 50%, making regulatory processes more efficient and scalable.
Seamless Digital Customer Experience
By eliminating the need for in-person identity verification, Ondato streamlines KYC onboarding for banks, crypto platforms, and other regulated businesses. Our AI-powered identity verification enables users to submit their documents securely from anywhere, providing a fast and frictionless experience.
Faster KYC & AML Processing
Speed is crucial in onboarding new clients. While traditional banks may take up to 18 minutes to verify an identity, Ondato’s automated processes reduce KYC and AML verification times significantly—improving conversion rates and reducing customer drop-offs.
Superior Age Verification Technology
With age-restricted industries like online gaming, e-commerce, and digital entertainment under increasing regulatory scrutiny, businesses need a reliable and efficient way to verify customers’ ages. Ondato’s advanced age verification technology uses AI-driven facial recognition, document authentication, and liveness detection to ensure users meet legal age requirements while providing a seamless user experience.
Higher Verification Accuracy with AI
Manual identity verification is prone to errors, which can lead to compliance risks. Ondato’s AI-driven RegTech solutions enhance the accuracy of KYC checks, detecting fraudulent documents and preventing spoofing attempts more effectively than manual processes.
Looking Ahead
Being named on the FT 1000 for the second consecutive year is a testament to Ondato’s innovation, reliability, and industry leadership. As we continue to expand and refine our solutions, we remain committed to helping businesses navigate compliance effortlessly in an increasingly digital world.
