Renting a property has long been the norm, especially amongst Millennials. But tenants are facing fierce competition when it comes to securing their dream rental home and many are losing out. A huge contributing factor to this situation is the existing prolonged ID & referencing system.

Yoti's 2nd Charity Hack
Last week, we hosted our second charity design hack, here at the new Yoti HQ. We design our charity hacks with two aims in mind. The first is to explore the ways in which the Yoti identity platform (which is free-of-charge for eligible charities) can help non-profits solve local and global problems. The second is to help provide the tools and nurture the confidence of charity staff to embrace digital technology. In the spirit of being agile, we adapt the format of the event based on feedback and experience. Like our event in February, last week’s hack took the form

Yoti’s Inaugural Hack Week: Lessons Learned So Far
In February, we held our first hack week here at Yoti, focusing on the the challenges that charities face with verifying people’s identity.

So our inaugural hack was our first opportunity to test our hypothesis. Our Hack Week Format MONDAY Our Hack week partners, Founders and Coders CIC, spent the

Safer Internet Day - Be the change: Unite for a better internet
Young people and the internet The Internet is a wonderful invention with endless possibilities and opportunities. And for young people it has become a fundamental part of their everyday life. But the internet is rife with dangers and warnings, and letting children loose on the internet with no protection or guidance is like letting them loose in a sweet shop and telling them not to touch anything. A few weeks ago, the ‘Growing Up Digital’ report released by the Children’s Commissioner said children are fending for themselves against online dangers, often signing away their privacy and agreeing to very

Our Guardian Council
At Yoti, one of our core principles that guides our development is, ‘Be transparent and accountable’. Trust in technology companies appears to be on the decline, most likely because of data misappropriation and a lack of transparency. As a tech company that interacts with personal user data, integrity is paramount in everything we do. Our business cannot function without being trustworthy, so we’ve put measures in place to make sure we are always adhering to our principles and ethical framework. This is why we’ve integrated several initiatives into our operations to make sure we never stray from our core principles, one of
