Yoti plans to use the investment from the bank to develop a new identity offering, which is expected to complement its existing product portfolio.

The new offering is slated to launch later this year and is expected to provide consumers with a more private, secure, and practical solution to prove their identity.

Lloyds Banking Group fintech investment director Kirsty Rutter said: “We are thrilled to be supporting Yoti and their experienced, passionate team with their work to further protect people online, through developing and growing digital identity solutions.
