About
Identity for Good
From a vision for cashless music festivals to a global open identity system.
Our essence
Identity for good. This sits at the heart of everything we do: providing a more secure and inclusive way to navigate the world.
Our vision
To use unique vein mapping technology to create the most trusted, connected and liberating form of identification in the world. We are determined to offer a new generation of identification. One that is unwaveringly secure, seamlessly connected and where all you need is you.
Our mission
To create a world where every global citizen has access to an open identity system. A world with no more blocks or barriers, just the freedom for everyone to connect and explore.
History
Our parent company Sthaler Ltd was founded by music entrepreneur Nick Dryden, through a desire to create a cashless experience for festivals and events. FinGoPay – our first product – was successfully introduced at Festival No. 6 and since then we’ve graduated from the Visa Collabs programme, and completed successful pilots at Proud Bar Camden, Brunel University, Copenhagen Business School and the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
FinGo's focus is now on identity authentication with uses including national identity schemes, payments, access, security and transport ticketing. In June 2020, FinGo was approved for age verification by Manchester City Council Licensing Authority.
“Vein ID offers the high security and ease of use which merchants and consumers are looking for. FinGo are ahead of the game.”
