Verify marketplace sellers and lock out fraudsters
Middesk automates identity verification for friction-free seller onboarding. Verify people and business sellers, comply with the INFORM Consumers Act, and keep your community safe.
Upgrade your identity verification to protect against new fraud risks
As your marketplace grows, the share of sellers operating as businesses also grows—and the fraudsters who impersonate businesses using synthetic identities. Legacy identity verification solutions are ill-suited to verify these business sellers, leading to increased fraud risk, noncompliance, and burdensome manual reviews.
Middesk combines person verification with best-in-class business verification to verify all your marketplace sellers in a single integration. Provide a frictionless onboarding experience for every seller while protecting your growing marketplace against evolving threats.

Is your marketplace compliant with the INFORM Consumers Act?
Middesk makes it easy to get compliant with the INFORM Act by verifying all the required information on your high-volume third party sellers.
Tax IDÂ number
Validate the TIN and match it to the business name. If it doesn't match, we’ll perform a series of lookups to identify alternate name possibilities.
Business address
Match the submitted address to the SOS, NPI, or FMCSA records. Verify the address is a physical address or flag if the address belongs to a registered agent, CMRA, private mailbox, or PO box.
Valid government record or tax document
Remove an onboarding step by automatically retrieving documentary evidence such as Articles of Incorporation and Certificate of Good Standing associated with a business.
First and last name
Verify the submitted person matches the officers in the SOS filing, or perform KYC and fraud checks on sole proprietorships with Socure — all through the Middesk API.
Email address and phone number
Verify the submitted email address and phone number matches the person and evaluate email and phone risks.
IDÂ verification
Confirm the authenticity of a government-issued ID, match the PII extracted from the ID against the input information, and match the ID headshot to a seller-submitted selfie.
