About Truvee
Why This Exists
Two years ago, I was processing merchant applications when someone called my company pretending to be a business owner. They sent everything I needed to verify them: a photo of themselves front and back, business documents, a voided check, banking documents, bank statements. Their website looked legit. Google searches checked out. I missed exactly one detail, the phone number on their site wasn't quite right.
I activated their merchant account.
They ran stolen credit cards through it. The identity they'd used was stolen too. My company was held liable for the full amount.
That kind of fraud happens every day in my industry. But this time it cost real money, and it taught me what was actually missing.
If that person had been required to scan a government ID and take a live selfie before I activated the account, none of this happens. The ID comes back as a completely different name. He either wouldn't have tried, or he gives up the moment the verification request hits his phone.
That's why I built Truvee.
What We Do
Truvee verifies identity with a government ID and a live selfie.
A sender requests verification. The recipient scans their government-issued ID and completes a live face match. Both parties walk away with a sealed, tamper-evident PDF documenting the verification.
That's it. One pass. Sealed proof for both sides. No app to install, no waiting on a third party. Live biometric verification, not just a document upload anyone could fake.
The technology behind us is enterprise-grade. Our live face verification runs on the same biometric infrastructure trusted by major banks and global businesses. Our identity provider processes live-face verification. With recipient consent before signing, government-ID copies are retained in the private PDF that the authorized requester and recipient can download and retain.
Who We Are
Truvee is built and operated by Truvee LLC, a Pennsylvania company headquartered just outside Pittsburgh.
We are a small, independent team. We are not backed by venture capital, not chasing growth at the expense of users, and not interested in selling your data. We make money one way: when you use our Service to verify someone.
Our Principles
Privacy by design. ID copies in completed PDFs are private and disclosed to recipients before signing. The identity provider processes live-face verification under its own policies. We do not sell or share verification data with marketers. We do not use your verifications to train AI models.
Fairness. We are not a background check service. We do not score people, rank people, or judge people. A sealed Truvee says one thing: this person is who they said they were on this date.
Transparency. Our pricing is public, our limits are written down, our policies are real, and our credit rules are automatic where they should be.
Discipline. We will not chase regulated markets that require us to become something we are not. We will not become a consumer reporting agency.
Truvee is identity verification, not a background check. For decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (employment, housing, credit, insurance, government benefits), Truvee is meant to complement a licensed consumer reporting agency, never replace one. We don't make those decisions for you. We confirm the person is who they say they are. Pair Truvee with a CRA when an FCRA-covered decision is on the line.
What We Will Not Do
We will not become a background check service. We will not turn into a surveillance tool. We will not retain biometric data we do not need. We will not let convenience erode consent.
If a feature would help us grow but would compromise the privacy or dignity of our users, we will not ship it.
