Hey all, Jason here.
Welcome back to Fintech Business Podcast. In this episode, I talk to Alain Meier, the Head of Identity at Plaid. While I imagine most readers/listeners are pretty familiar with Plaid’s core capabilities, the company moved into the identity verification space through its acquisition of Meier’s startup Cognito about a year ago.
We had a chance to talk about:
Alain’s experiencing starting and selling Cognito
Use cases for identity verification outside of financial services
Emerging identity tech, like mobile driver’s licenses
The potential and challenge of “self-sovereign” and decentralized identity
and more!
