Congrats on the launch!
Dave McGibbon
Thanks @itsbrex, It's been a long journey to get here!

@itsbrex thanks Brian!

No auto, everything is by hand... another MVP, shitty.
Marcos Ortiz
This is an incredible product. Well done @felixgerlach @mathias_kl and @dave_mcgibbon1 . I truly believe this could a turning point product for remote working. This could help so many companies out there to truly identify their users. The most interesting use case? Online gaming. This could be perfect for the Tencent Games division. You should chat with https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark... and Eddie Chan https://www.linkedin.com/in/eddi...

@mathias_kl @dave_mcgibbon1 @marcosluis2186 Thank you, Marcos! We've received interest from this sector before and definitely agree with you. If you can connect us we'd be grateful :)
Patrick Häde
I was one of the first people to try this out! The team is fantastic and the support they provide spot on. Highly recommended!
Felix Gerlach
@patrick_hade Hi Patrick, great to have you as one of our earliest adopters in our Passbase community.
Mathias Klenk
@patrick_hade It is a pleasure working with you Patrick!

+1 anyway! :)
Dave McGibbon
Thanks @phenrysay!!
🚀 Pierre-Henry 💡
Sounds like a very promising and handy service! Great job. How does it work exactly under the wood?
Dave McGibbon
Thank you @phenrysay! Once you as a company sign up you'll be able to start verifying users by integrating natively (we've got SDKs for iOS and Android or on web) or via a weblink. Users go through 3 quick steps including document upload and then you can approve or reject the results from your dashboard.

Just trying to signup to take up the special offer but unfortunately can't complete the signup - on the second screen where asks for business website (thats fine) but there are 2 questions about sector of biz & how many checks anticipated that must be using non standard HTML techniques for entry fields and are therefore completely inaccessible to me using a screen reader and keyboard users. I bet you have used Javascript and ruined the HTML code. Happy to correspond with you to get this fixed.
Dave McGibbon
@dalereardon Thanks for flagging this. We're on it!
Dave McGibbon
Hi @dalereardon - Thanks again for calling this out. We'll be working a fix into our upcoming sprint. If you shoot me a note I can update you when we believe it's fixed so you can help test it out!
Mathias Klenk
Thanks. Appreciate that! @felixgerlach was mainly responsible for product & design.

@zane_witherspoon Thanks Zane! Excited to be working with you!
Oliver McQuitty
We have been using Passbase for almost a year now and could not be happier with how well it works, the seamless integration and the levels of security it provides our customers with. @felixgerlach @dave_mcgibbon1 and @mathias_kl have done a fantastic job. I could not recommend it more highly!
Felix Gerlach
@olliemcquitty Thanks so much for your support and great to hear that. It is amazing to work with you and your team!
Mathias Klenk
@felixgerlach @dave_mcgibbon1 @olliemcquitty Thanks Oliver. We love working with you guys together! Thanks for all the great feedback over the last months and the trust you put into us early!
Mike Mahlkow
Built-In AML sounds insanely valuable. How does it work? Are you matching the names on the IDs with names in the databases? Or is there more to it?
Dave McGibbon
Hi @mikemahlkow! It's quite powerful for financial services or any business that needs to comply with AML regulations. We extract name and birthday from the identity document. We run this name and birthday against a large set of databases including Watchlist, PEP, Sactions, and Adverse Media and flag to you if there are any issues that should be reviewed prior to the individual onboarding!
Simon Small
@mikemahlkow @dave_mcgibbon1 I'm sitting here watching the "Processing" of my own ID (which is a genius way to get someone started btw). And my brain starts thinking - this is taking a while. It didn't even occur to me that the processing delay is all of the AML that's happening. I wonder if the "Processing" button could say "AML Checking". Then I'd be like "wow - they are doing a really thorough job"... it's a chance for you to show off all of the AML work. You know how SkyScanner check your travel plans against airline companies and they flash up on-screen all the different airlines and associations they are checking against. I think that could help with the credibility factor... blow some minds of people who don't really know what they are looking at currently... that's if its possible/relevant in your eyes...
Mathias Klenk
@mikemahlkow @dave_mcgibbon1 @simon_small I really like the idea. I think we should add that. Could be a great way to keep the user engaged. Thanks for sharing the idea Simon! @felixgerlach
Simon Small
@mikemahlkow @dave_mcgibbon1 @felixgerlach @mathias_kl awesome. this is my first time interacting on Product Hunt, so its nice to see the interaction from people actually making the decisions...
Daniel Stammler
Awesome product! Very trustworthy.
Mathias Klenk
@daniel_stammler thanks! :)
Felix Gerlach
@daniel_stammler Thank you Daniel!
Gautham Santhosh
Congrats on the launch, Is there any automated flows or someone needs to always manually reject or accept?
Nikolaus Volk
Looks like a neat product, can you guys cover US DL/passports etc.? also, how long is the latency for the full scan?
Dave McGibbon
@nikolaus_volk We can cover US DL and Passports along with 6000 other documents! The full process for ID Auth, OCR, Facematch, and Liveness takes 90 seconds on average.
Neel Popat
This product is great and much needed! The team are super responsive, personable and have improved the identify verification process!
Felix Gerlach
Hi @neelpopat, great to hear from you! Looking forward to see Donut conquering the crypto fintech market!
Prasad Kawthekar
Looks super slick! How does it work? Do you maintain user info on your end and share it across different websites using your service?
Dave McGibbon
@prasad_kawthekar Great question. Firstly, we don't share your information with any other service unless you explicitly consent to do so. All verified identities are inherently portable between services but only with consent. We use a facial biometric check to ensure its still you before sharing information between services!
Fabian Höhne
Wow, that is an easy and slick way to verify customers. In travel we have issues with fraud i am looking forward to verify future bookings with you guys. How long does it take to get online? Is there any long waiting approval needed?
Dave McGibbon
Hi @naibaf - you can get up and running in a few minutes (depends also on if you want to customize your flow with UI and other steps).
Fabian Höhne
@dave_mcgibbon1 that is awesome and exactly what we need. I just registered and verified myself within seconds.
Dave McGibbon
@naibaf Awesome, we're here if you have more questions!
Felix Gerlach
Thanks for tuning in @rrhoover!
