Alloy will use the funding to increase its headcount, expand product offerings, and functions of the business to increase output and specialisation.

Alloy co-founder and CEO Tommy Nicholas said: “Identity and its associated risk isn’t something businesses should be figuring out, it should just be something they install.

“As Alloy grows into a multi-product platform for the full customer identity lifecycle, we can not only help make risk easier to understand but also further industry innovation by making fintech products easier to build.”
