Microblink Launches the EmpowerID Program to Promote Identity Access for All

Microblink, a leader in AI-powered identity verification solutions, has introduced the EmpowerID Program. This initiative aims to promote identity access for everyone, especially marginalized communities. Up to 10 startups will receive six months of free access to Microblink's identity verification solutions, followed by lifetime tiered discounts.

Launched on International Identity Day (ID Day), the EmpowerID Program emphasizes legally recognized identities. It targets startups serving marginalized communities such as people of color, low/no-income populations, and LGBTQIA+ groups. The program aims to eliminate financial barriers and ensure access to essential services that rely on identity verification.

Hartley Thompson, President of Identity at Microblink, stated, "We are proud to launch the EmpowerID Program to support digital identity inclusion. Everyone deserves access to secure, reliable identity verification, regardless of their background."

Key benefits of the program include six months of free access to BlinkID and other Microblink products, tiered lifetime discounts, and tailored technical support. Selected startups will also receive guidance for seamless integration of identity verification into their platforms, ensuring secure and compliant solutions for their communities.

The EmpowerID Program is now accepting applications. Startups dedicated to serving marginalized communities, or founded by individuals from these communities, are encouraged to apply.
