About Alloy

Founded in 2015, Alloy was built to help connect banks and fintechs to more sources of KYC, KYB, AML, and other identity, fraud, and compliance data. The idea was simple — the more data you have to make a decision, the more confident you’ll be in that decision.

Back then, instead of using a platform like Alloy, companies partnered with individual data vendors that their engineers integrated separately. It was expensive, time-consuming, and inefficient.

After meeting at a payments startup, Alloy co-founders Tommy Nicholas, Laura Spiekerman, and Charles Hearn teamed up to form Alloy and address these challenges. In Alloy’s early days, they faced many rejections from investors who were hesitant to adopt an entirely new product. Feedback from clients, on the other hand, was so overwhelmingly positive that they persisted, and were eventually accepted to Techstars.

Today, Alloy processes millions of daily identity decisions for the world’s leading banks and fintechs offering financial products in 40 countries across North America, EMEA, LATAM, and APAC. We’re 100% dedicated to making banking as inclusive, unbiased, and secure as it should be for people around the world. We hope you’re into that, too.
